As a percentage, the relative frequency of plastics recycling in New Mexico in 2008 compared to plastics recycled in all three states combined is approximately <u>11%</u>.

<h3>What is relative frequency?</h3>

A relative frequency measures the proportion of events that occur within a class out of the total number of observations.

When using relative frequency, the results are usually displayed in percentages, proportions, and fractions.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Year State Recycled Plastics Relative

(thousands of tons) Frequency

2008 New Mexico 500 0.111 (500/4,500)

2008 New York 1,500 0.333 (1,500/4,500)

2008 Texas 2,500 0.566 (2,500/4,500)

Total 4,500 1

Thus, the relative frequency of plastics recycling in New Mexico in 2008 compared to plastics recycled in all three states combined is approximately <u>11%</u>.

Answer:

3.5×10^4=35000

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the value

3.5

we are saying that we are counting in units (1's) in that we have

of 1's

'.....................................................................................

Consider the value

3.5

. Now we are saying we have

of tens. That is; 3 lots of 10 is 30 and

of 10 is 5 so we have

'.................................................................................

Note that

is 100

Consider the value

3.5

. Now we are saying we have

100

So if we are counting in 100's then the decimal point stays where

it is and we move the number of 3.5 to the left until the

3 becomes hundreds.

Note that we have to insert a place holder of 0 just to the left of the decimal point to make sure the three is viewed as in the hundreds.

Chevy has some yarn that he wants to use to make hats and scarves. Each hat uses 0.20.20, point, 2 kilograms of yarn and each sc

Rashid [163]

Answer:

The system of equation that represent this situations are;

$\left \{ {{h+s=15} \atop {0.2h+0.1s=2}} \right.$

Also 5 hats and 10 scarves can be prepared from 2 kg of yarn.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of hat Chevy makes be h.

Also Let number of scarves Chevy makes be s.

Given:

Total Amount of yarns = 2 kg

Total number of items = 15

Since Items need to make are hat and scarves.

Hence the equation can be represented as;

$h+s=15 \ \ \ \ equation \ 1$

Again Given:

Each hat uses 0.2 kilograms of yarn.

each scarf uses 0.1 kilograms of yarn.

Hence the equation can be represented as;

$0.2h+0.1s=2 \ \ \ \ \ equation \ 2$

Hence the system of equation that represent this situations are;

$\left \{ {{h+s=15} \atop {0.2h+0.1s=2}} \right.$

Now Solving these to find number of hats and number of scarves.

Multiplying equation 2 with 10 we get;

$10(0.2h+0.1s)=2\times 10\\10\times0.2h+10\times0.1s=20\\2h+s =20 \ \ \ \ \ equation \ 3$

Now Subtracting equation 1 from equation 3 we get;

$(2h+s)- (h+s) =20-15\\2h+s-h-s=5\\h= 5$

Now Substituting the value of h in equation 1 we get;

$h+s= 15\\5+s =15\\s=15-5\\s=10$

Hence 5 hats and 10 scarves can be prepared from 2 kg of yarn.
