Based on the estimated number of defective batteries and the number of batteries that were actually defective, the percent error of Jake's estimate is 20%

<h3>How to find the percent error?</h3>

The percent error of a problem can be found by the formula:
= (Expected results - Actual results) / 100%

Expected results = 12 defective batteries

Actual results = 10 defective batteries

Jake's percentage error is therefore:

= (12 - 10) / 100%

= 2 / 10 x 100%

= 0.2 x 100%
= 20%

In conclusion, the percent error of Jake's estimate is 20%.

The ratio of corresponding sides of two similar triangles is 3:8. The sides of the smaller triangle are 8 centimeters, 11 centim
almond37 [142]
<span>88 This problem can be solved two ways. Since the ratio of each side is 3:8, you can use that ratio to calculate the length of each side of the larger triangle and then add them up to get the perimeter. Or you can realize that the perimeter will also have the ratio 3:8 and calculate the perimeter of the smaller triangle and then use the ratio to calculate the perimeter of the larger triangle. Since I'm lazy, I'll be using the second approach. Perimeter of smaller triangle is 8 + 11 + 14 = 33 cm. Now we can setup an equation to calculate the perimeter of the larger triangle: 33/3 = X/8 11 = X/8 88 = X So the perimeter of the larger triangle is 88.</span>

Proximately 32, 800 citizens of the country died in my automobile accident in 2015. Expressed this toll in deaths per day
Anton [14]
Remark
2015 is an odd numbered year. It is not a leap year. It has 365 days in it.

Equation
Total deaths = deaths / day * number of days

Givens
Total deaths = 32800
deaths / day = ???
number of days  = 365

Sub and solve
32800 = x * 365  Divide by sides by 365
32800 / 365 = x
x = 89.86 deaths per day.

Problem
Do you round up, down or leave the number as it is?

I would round up 90 deaths per day. 

Discussion 
Just how much are you out?
Total deaths in a year (rounded) = 90 * 365
Total deaths in a year (rounded)= 32850 which is 50 too many

Suppose you round down 
Total death/day = 89 * 365 = 39485 Rounding up is going to be better if you round at all.

Perhaps you should not round the answer at all and leave it at
89.86 <<<<< answer.
If you have choices, please list them.

Find the equation of a line passing through the points (2,1) and (5,10) in slope intercept form.​
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

y=3x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b

m represents slope

b represents y-intercept

In the picture, 3 replaces m, so 3 is the slope of the line.

When (2,1) and (5,10) are graphed, the line intercepts -5 on the y axis.

-5 is the y-intercept.

So, (2,1) and (5,10) in slope-intercept form is y=3x-5
