The Wright Flyer was the first successful powered aircraft. A model was made to display in a museum with the length of 35 cm and

a wingspan of about 66.9 cm. The length of the actual plane was 21 ft 1 in., and the height was 2.74 m. Compare the length, height, and wingspan of the model to the actual plane and explain why any errors may occur. (Round any calculations to the nearest whole number.)

<span>To link the displayed Wright flyer in the museum with the actual plane, we have to calculate for the relation of the corresponding parameter. In this problem, for both the display and the actual plane, we are given with the length. Computing for the ratio gives us,</span>

<span>
    ratio = length of the model / length of the actual plane

Length of the model = 35 cm</span>

<span>
We need to calculate for the length of the model in ft.</span>

<span>
length of the model = (35 cm)(1 in/2.54 cm)(1 ft/12 in)
length of the model = 1.148 ft

</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>Going back to the calculation for the ratio,
ratio = (1.148 ft)/21 ft
ratio = 0.055

Therefore, the measurements used in the model is equal to 0.055 times the actual dimensions.

Error may occur because of the number of significant figures measured for rounding up or down of the answers after each calculation. </span>

a pie chart is divided into four sectors in fig. 12.42. Each sector represents a percentage of the whole. The two larger sectors
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Angle formed by the sector measuring x% will be 126°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, sum of all sectors formed in a circle is 100%.

By adding the measures of all the sectors,

x + x + 21 + 9 = 100

2x + 30 = 100

2x = 70

x = 35%

Now we know sum of all the central angles formed at the center of a circle = 360°

Therefore, angle formed by x% = 360° × 35%

                                                    = \frac{360\times 35}{100}

                                                    = 126°

The square below represents one whole. Express the shaded area as a fraction, a decimal, and a percent of the whole.
lozanna [386]

Answer as a fraction = 1/2

Answer as a decimal = 0.5

Answer as a percent = 50%

========================================

Explanation:

There are 5 blue rectangles out of 10 total. This forms the fraction 5/10 and that reduces to 1/2 after dividing both parts by 5. Therefore, the fractions 5/10 and 1/2 are the same. Notice that exactly half of the entire figure is shaded blue.

Use long division or your calculator to find that 1/2 = 0.5 which converts to 50% when you move the decimal point 2 spots to the right.

2. Suppose you pay $21 for a pair of shoes that was originally $30. What was the percent of decrease in price for the shoes? Set
boyakko [2]
30$ originally - 21$ paid = 9$ discount

> divide the discount by the original price, multiply by 100 to get the percent decrease.

100 x (9$ / 30$) = 30% discount
> So the shoes where on sale for 30% off the original price.

for the equation:
100 x (30-21)/30 = % decrease

Consider the inequality -5(x+7)&lt;-10 Write an inequality representing the solution for x
Naddik [55]
-5(x+7)<-10
-5x-35<-10
+35. +35
-4x<25
both divided by-4
x> -6.25
i flipped the sign because I divided with a negative number. and I hope you can make -6.25 into a fraction, I can't because I don't have a calculator with me :(
