Answer:

Rounding off the number gave a better approximate of the product of given numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

$48\times 123 = 5904$

Compatible numbers are the numbers that are easy to add, subtract and multiply.

Now, if we use compatible numbers to evaluate the same product we get:

$45\times 120 = 5400$

Now, if we round off the given numbers, we can evaluate the product as:

$50\times 120 = 6000$

Hence, rounding off the number gave a better approximate of the product of given numbers.

Compatible 50 x 120 = 6000

Rounding 50 x 123 =6150

Compatible numbers is closer estimate

Calculate f(x) for the given domain values.

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The given function is

$f(x) = - 3x$

The domain values are: x=0, 2, -1, 4, -2

When x=0

$f(0) = - 3 \times 0 = 0$

When x=2,

$f(x) = - 3 \times 2 = - 6$

When x=-1

$f(x) = - 3 \times - 1 = 3$

When x=4

$f(4) = - 3 \times 4 = - 12$

When x=-2

$f( - 2) = - 3 \times - 2 = 6$

2. The given function is

$f(x) = \frac{1}{3} x$

When x=3,

$f(3) = \frac{1}{3} \times 3 = 1$

Similarly,

$f( - 3) = \frac{1}{3} \times - 3 = - 1$

$f(300) = \frac{1}{3} \times 300 = 100$

$f( - 180) = \frac{1}{3} \times - 180 = - 60$

$f(99) = \frac{1}{3} \times 99 = 33$

1.The population of the world is approximately 6200 million people. It is increasing by approximately 93 million people each yea

STALIN [3.7K]

The fraction can simplify down to $\frac{93}{6200}$ convert it to a fraction and the yearly increase is 1.5%

2. Well on average there are 365 days in a year. Dividing 93 million by 365 will get your increase per day.
There are 24 hours in a day, so that figure is further divided by 24.
There are also 60 minutes in an hour therefore furthermore divided by 60.
= 176 therefore true

Sam makes some bread rolls. He gives 2/5 of the bread to his neighbor and 4/9 of the remainder to his cousin. He has 15 tools le

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Sam initially made 45 bread rolls

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = total number of bread rolls made by Sam. He gives 2/5 of the bread to his neighbor. This means he gave 2/5 × x =

2x/5 bread rolls to his neighbor.

The remainder would be x - 2x/5 =3x/5

He gave 4/9 of the remainder to his cousin = 4/9 ×3x/5=12x/45

=4x/15

He has 15 bread rolls left

Total number of bread rolls = what he has left + what he gave his cousin + what he gave his neighbor

x = 15 + 4x/15 + 2x/5

Taking LCM of 15 and cross multiplying

15x= 225+4x + 6x

15x = 225 +10x

15x-10x = 225

5x = 225

x = 225/5 =45

Sam initially made 45 bread rolls
