If the acceptable percent error is 2.5%, then the amount it can be over or under 16 oz is 0.4oz.

16 + 0.4
16 - 0.4

16.4 is the greatest, 15.6 is the least.

Answer:

Least acceptable weight= 15.6 ounces

and Greatest acceptable weight=16.4 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

A cereal company fills boxes with 16 ounces of cereal.

The acceptable percent error in filling a box is 2.5%.

i.e. the error in decimal is:

\dfrac{2.5}{100}\times 16=\dfrac{25}{1000}\times 16=0.4

Hence,

the least acceptable weight is obtained by subtracting the actual amount with the error.

16-0.4=15.6 ounces.

and the greatest acceptable weight is obtained by adding the error to the actual weight.

16+0.4=16.4 ounces

Hence,

Least acceptable weight= 15.6 ounces

and Greatest acceptable weight=16.4 ounces.

Write an equation of a line that passes through (5,
enyata [817]

Answer:

y = 1/5x - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

perpendicular to a line means we flip the slope to opposite of what it is

in other wrds, since your slope is -5, your new slope for the line perpendicular to it would be 1/5.

Now we just use the same equation to find the y-intercept, which is b.

y = mx + b; m is your slope and b is your y intercept.

use the points given; (5, -10).

-10 = 1/5(5) + b

-10 = 1 + b

-11 = b

now put your equation together since you have all the pieces

y = 1/5x - 11
