Answer:

A generalization is defined as a broad idea, being applied to a group of people or things that are not entirely true.

Because there are always some examples of individuals or situations, where the generalization does not hold true.

For example-

I see two women wearing hats. So I will generalize that all women wear hats. This is wrong.

And when generalization is true in math like. for count by 10 rule, we know that the ones place stays the same and the tens place changes by one number. Like 21,31,41,51...... Here we can say that generalization is likely correct.

Work in the five days?

Ghella [55]

Answer:

9.3

Step-by-step explanation:

last week she worked 45.6 hours. since 40 hours is the limit for normal working hours, she worked 45.6-40 = 5.6 hours overtime.

this week she worked 9.7+8.3+8+9.1+8.6 hours = 43.7 hours.

she worked therefore 43.7-40 = 3.7 hours overtime.

so, in total of the two weeks, she worked 5.6+3.7 = 9.3 hours overtime.

A fence must be built to enclose a rectangular area of 20,000 ft^2. Fencing material costs $4 per foot for the two sides facing

Marysya12 [62]

The cost of the least expensive fence is $3200

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

A fence must be built to enclose a rectangular area of 20,000 ft²
Fencing material costs $4 per foot for the two sides facing north and south and $8 per foot for the other two sides

We need to find the cost of the least expensive fence

Assume that the length of each side opposite to North or South is x feet and the length of each other sides is y feet

∵ The length of the rectangle = x feet

∵ The width of the rectangle = y feet

∵ The rectangular area is 20,000 ft²

- Area of a rectangle = length × width

∴ x × y = 20,000

- Divide both sides by x to find y in terms of x

∴ $y=\frac{20,000}{x}$
