Answer:

The correct answer is that Charlie made a guess with a 5.2% error.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that a % error could be written as

\% error=\frac{|approx-exact|}{exact}*100

where <em>approx is the estimate value that Charlie made, exact is the actual weight of the dog, and approx minus exact should be expressed in absolute value</em>.

<u>Doing this calculation</u>, we have that

\% error=\frac{|32.7-34.5|}{34.5}*100=\frac{120}{23}=5.22

and taking <u>the result to the nearest tenth of a percent</u>, we actually have the correct answer, wich is 5.2%.

Two trains leave the same station at the same time, but are headed in opposite directions. One train travels at 70 mph and the o
uranmaximum [27]

Let

x--------> the time in hours

y-------> the distance in miles

we know that

The speed is equal to

Speed=\frac{distance}{time}

in this problem

Speed=\frac{y}{x}

y=(Speed)*x

<u>Equation First Train</u>

y1=70x

<u>Equation Second Train</u>

y2=80x

y1+y2=600\ miles ---------> equation 1

Substitute the values of y1 and y2 in the equation 1

70x+80x=600

Solve for x

150x=600

x=4\ hours

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

4\ hours

6 and half minus seven-eighths divided by five and eleven-sixteenth=
kow [346]
The answer is 90/91. 6 1/2 - 7/8 divided by 5 11/16. Turn 6 1/2 and 5 11/16 to an improper fraction. 6 1/2= 13/2. 5/11= 91/16. Then you have to get each fraction to have equal denominators. All of them can have a denominator of 16. So you times everything to get a denominator of 16. 13/2= 104/16. 7/8=14/16. 91/16 stays the same because the denominator is already 16. Next you subtract 104/16 and 14/16 and get 45/8.( because you need to put it in simplest form.) Lastly you divide 45/8 by 91/16 and get 90/91.
