According to the report “Population Distribution and Change: 2000 to 2010” from the U.S. Census Bureau, the U.S. population incr

eased by 27.3 million people from 2000 to 2010. This was a 9.7% increase. According to these figures, what was the U.S. population in the years 2000 and 2010? Round to the nearest million.

Answer: Population in 200 = 281 million.

Population in 2010 = 308 million

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes the population in 2000 ( in millions).

Given : According to the report “Population Distribution and Change: 2000 to 2010” from the U.S. Census Bureau, the U.S. population increased by 27.3 million people from 2000 to 2010.

This was a 9.7% increase.

∵ 9.7%=0.097

then, we have 0.097x=27.3

Divide both sides , by 0.097, we get

x=281.443298969\approx281 [Rounded to nearest million]

Hence, the population in 200 = 281 million.

Then, the population in 2010=281+27.3=308.3\approx308 million  [Rounded to nearest million]

Answer: Production in 2007 reached more than. 91.5 billion pounds. ... billion pounds, with chicken production totaling 36.6 ... Average Annual Per Capita Consumption (in pounds). 0.0. 10.0 ... 1980 1982 1984 1986 1988 1990 1992 1994 1996 1998 2000 2002 2004 2006. Year ... half (55 percent) of all meat consumed are red meat.

simplfying to get 19.8928571429

then you mul·ti·ple equals 155.96

then you subtract and it gets you 52.9

then you add gets you 58.5.

This question is quite simple as long as you know how to do math you should ace all of your math classes..

Mathematics can get pretty complicated. Fortunately, not all math problems need to be inscrutable. Here are five current problems in the field of mathematics that anyone can understand, but nobody has been able to solve.

like...Pick any number. If that number is even, divide it by 2. If it's odd, multiply it by 3 and add 1. Now repeat the process with your new number. If you keep going, you'll eventually end up at 1. Every time.

Mathematicians have tried millions of numbers and they've never found a single one that didn't end up at 1 eventually. The thing is, they've never been able to prove that there isn't a special number out there that never leads to 1. It's possible that there's some really big number that goes to infinity instead, or maybe a number that gets stuck in a loop and never reaches 1. But no one has ever been able to prove that for certain.

So you're moving into your new apartment, and you're trying to bring your sofa. The problem is, the hallway turns and you have to fit your sofa around a corner. If it's a small sofa, that might not be a problem, but a really big sofa is sure to get stuck. If you're a mathematician, you ask yourself: What's the largest sofa you could possibly fit around the corner? It doesn't have to be a rectangular sofa either, it can be any shape.

This is the essence of the moving sofa problem. Here are the specifics: the whole problem is in two dimensions, the corner is a 90-degree angle, and the width of the corridor is 1. What is the largest two-dimensional area that can fit around the corner?

The largest area that can fit around a corner is called—I kid you not—the sofa constant. Nobody knows for sure how big it is, but we have some pretty big sofas that do work, so we know it has to be at least as big as them. We also have some sofas that don't work, so it has to be smaller than those. All together, we know the sofa constant has to be between 2.2195 and 2.8284.

AM I BEING TO MUCH OF A SMART ALECK, I'm sorry if i am LOL.

but if you need help with another question, you can ask me :)

An airline charges one fee for small luggage bags, and a larger fee for large luggage bags. One family checks five small bags an
RUDIKE [14]
X=small bag
y=large bag

5x+3y=260
4x+2y=200

(5x+3y=260)*4 =20x+12y=1040
(4x+2y=200)*5 =20x+10y=1000

subtract two equations: 2y=40
divide:                           y=20
plug y in                         5x+3*20=260
simplify                         x=40

small bag=$40

Match each scenario with the type of correlation it shows
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

1- Positive correlation

2- Negative correlation

3- No correlation

Step-by-step explanation:

1- The more a player practices free throws, the better they will be at it and therefore will make more free throws. Thus, there is a positive correlation between the time spent practicing and the  number of free throws made.

2- Since each item bought has a cost, the more items are bought, lower will be the checking account balance. Thus, there is a negative correlation the number of items bought and the  checking account balance.

3- There is no explicit correlation between players heights and their ability to hit a baseball therefore it is fair to assume that there is no correlation between the height of baseball player and the  number of hits made
