The percent error of the measurement, to the nearest tenth of a percent is 18.6%

<h3>Calculating percent error</h3>

The formula for calculating the percent error is expressed as:

%error = actual - measure/actual * 100

Given the following

actual length = 13.4 in

Measured =10.9in

Substitute

%error = 13.4-10.9/13.4 * 100
%error = 2.5/13.4 * 100
%error = 18.65%

Hence the percent error of the measurement, to the nearest tenth of a percent is 18.6%

Answer:

y = -2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation in slope-intercept form is y = mx + b.

m = slope = ∆y/∆x

Using any two points on the line, say (0, 0) and (-20, 40),

Slope (m) = (40 - 0) / (-20 - 0) = 40/-20

Slope (m) = -2

b = y-intercept = the value of y when x = 0.

b = 0

To write the equation of the line, substitute m = -2 and b = 0 into y = mx + b

Thus:

y = -2x + 0

y = -2x

little melinda has nickels and quarters in her bank she has 8 fewer than nickels she has 5.60 in the bank how many coins of each
Talja [164]

Answer:

She has 20 coins in her bank, where she has 12 nickels and 8 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

  • A quarter is 25 cents
  • A nickel is 5 cents
  • Since she has 8 fewer than nickels, we add 8 to the number of nickels

Q = N + 8,   25Q + 5N = 560

25(N + 8) + 5N = 560

25N + 200 + 5N = 560

25N + 200 - 200 + 5N = 560 - 200

30N = 360

30N / 30 = 360 / 30

N = 12 nickels

Finding amount of Quarters:

Q = N + 8 → Q = 12 + 8

Q = 20 quarters

Answer: OPTION D

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculate the surface area of a rectangular prism is:

SA_{rp}=2(wh+lw+lh)

Where w is the width, h is the height and l is the length.

You can see in the figure attached that:

l=3.4ft

w=3ft

h=4.1ft

Therefore, when you substitute these values into the formula you obtain that the surface area is:

SA_{rp}=2[(3ft*4.1ft)+(3.4ft*3ft)+(3.4ft*4.1ft)]=72.88ft^{2}
