First you need to subtract 471.41 and 397.46.

471.41 - 397.46= 73.95

The tenths place is the number after the decimal. In number 73.95, the number in the tenths place would be 9. The answer would be C) 74.


(Let me know if you don't understand. I'll try to explain it in more detail.)

Answer choice: [B] or [C]; could be considered correct; depending on the perspective (explained below).  
<em>       <u>Personally, I would go with: Answer choice: [C]: "74" ;  because:</u></em>
       
         1)  It's an easier number to "work with" than "Answer choice: [B]:                        "73.9" ;  and:

         2)  The question asks to "estimate the answer".
____________________________________________________________
One interpretation would be:
______________________________
Consider the math problem given:
________________________________
   "  <span>471.41 – 397.46  = ? " ; 
_____________________________
And round each of THESE values to the nearest TENTH:
________________________________________________
      471.4 </span>– 397.5 = 73.9 ;  this answer:  "73.9" ; is already rounded to the nearest "tenth"; and does correspond with answer choice: [B].
____________________________________________________
Yet, answer interpretation of this math problem, would be:
____________________________________________________
     Given:  "<span>471.41 – 397.46 = ??  " ;  
 ________________________________
Solve this problem as it is; and round the actual answer obtained to the nearest "tenth":
___________________________________________
Doing so, we get:
___________________________________________
</span>            "471.41 – 397.46 = 73.95 ."   This value, rounded to the nearest "tenth", would be: "74.0" (which is not an answer choice, technically speaking); or "74" (because, in "mathematics", "74.0 = 74"; and we are asked in the problem to "estimate for the answer",  so the answer would be:
   Answer choice:  [C]:  74 .
_____________________________________________________
 So, answer choice: [B] or [C]; could be considered correct; depending on the perspective.  Personally, I would go with: Answer choice: [C]: "74";  because:
         1)  It's an easier number to "work with" than "Answer choice: [B]: 73.9" ;
and:  2)  The question asks to "estimate the answer".

A visual-effects model maker for a movie draws a spaceship using a ratio of 1 : 24. The drawing of the spaceship is 22 inches lo
Kay [80]

Answer:

Length of spaceship in movie = 528

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Drawing ratio of spaceship = 1 : 24

It means that 1 inch on drawing equals 24 inches in movie

Drawing of spaceship = 22 inches

Length of spaceship in movie = x

As the relationship is proportional,

1 : 24 :: 22 : x

Product of mean = Product of extreme

24*22 = x

x = 528

Hence,

Length of spaceship in movie = 528

To buy a car, you borrow $25,000 with a term of three years at an APR of 6.5%. What is your monthly
Finger [1]

Answer:

  $766.23

Step-by-step explanation:

The amortization formula is appropriate for this. (Better, use a financial calculator or spreadsheet.)

  A = P(r/12)/(1 -(1 +r/12)^-(12t))

where P is the amount borrowed (25,000), r is the annual rate (0.065), and t is the number of years (3).

Putting the given numbers into the formula, we have ...

  A = $25,000(0.065/12)/(1 -(1 +0.065/12)^(-36))

  A = $25,000(.00541667)/(1 -1.00541667^-36)

  A = $25,000(0.00541667)/(0.1767322)

  A = $766.23

The monthly payment is $766.23.

A graphing or scientific calculator is useful for these. Something like a TI-84, or any of the equivalents, will have financial calculations like this built in. There are also numerous apps available for phone or tablet that will do financial calculations.

Mar 12: 3
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

  • Mar 18: 125
  • Mar 19: 318
  • Mar 20: 743
  • Mar 25: 15,070

Step-by-step explanation:

The six seemingly arbitrary points have no common difference or ratio, so cannot be modeled by a linear or exponential function.

The differences of the differences are not constant at any level, so the only polynomial model is 5th-degree. It is ...

  (6n^5 -95n^4 +600n^3 -1825n^2 +2814n -1320)/60

where n = days after Mar 11. (Mar 12 corresponds to n=1.) The domain is n ≥ 1.

____

The 5th-degree polynomial increases very fast, but not as fast as an exponential function would.

The values for Mar 12 through Mar 25 are ...

  3, 8, 11, 16, 25, 50, 125, 318, 743, 1572, 3047, 5492, 9325, 15070
