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%.

Melanie connected a brown garden hose , a green garden hose and a black garden hose to make one long hose

The brown hose is 10.75 feet

The green hose is 16.4 feet

The black hose is 8.5 feet

Therefore the farthest distance that the one hose can reach can be calculated as follows

= 10.75 + 16.4 + 8.5

= 35.65 feet

Hence the farthest distance that one hose can reach is 35.65 feet

As an unenrolled tax preparer, Daryl is subject to:
-BARSIC- [3]
I think there are missing details in this question. I'll just discuss what an unenrolled tax preparer is.

Unenrolled Tax Preparers are individuals who <span>possess the minimum qualifications required to prepare federal taxes and are granted a Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN) but are not Certified Public Accountants (CPA), lawyers, or enrolled agents.

They are only limited to filing only certain types of tax returns and can only represent their client on the basic audit level before the IRS. 

In order for an unenrolled tax preparer to become an enrolled agent, he or she must do the following:
1) Pass a three-part examination before the IRS 
2) Undergo compliance check on their tax history
3) Complete 16 hours of continuing education every year to retain their status. </span>

Find the measure of the missing angels.
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

'b' and 'c' = 119 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that this is a basic intersection of straight lines, we can assume 'b' and 'c' are equal as well as the given angle and it's opposite. Given 61 degrees and and two straight lines we can just take 180 degrees - 61 degrees and we get 119 degrees, I solved for 'b', but this will give the same answer for 'c', as 'b' and 'c' are equal.
