Answer: A) 0.5 pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the actual or the ideal measure of the weight of the box  and E be the error .

Given : Beatriz determined the margin of error as 23.5 pounds to 24.5 pounds.

Then , we have the following equations :-

x-E=23----------------------(1)\\\\ x+E=24.5----------------(2)

Subtract (1) from (2) , we get

2E=24.5-23.5\\\\|rightarrow\ 2E=1\\\\\Rightarrow\ E=\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5

Hence, the greatest possible error for her actual measurement was 0.5 pounds

Short side length = x

Medium side = x + 7

Long side = 5x

Total 49, so

x + x + 7 + 5x = 49

If you combine like terms:

7x + 7 = 49

Subtract 7 from both sides

7x = 42

Divide both sides by 7

x = 6 inches.

a store sells grass seed in small bags and large bags.the small bags have 7 pounds of seed for 27.93 and large bags cost 66.98.w
Nonamiya [84]

Answer

Find out the ratio of price to pound for each bag.

To prove

As given

A store sells grass seed in small bags and large bags.the small bags have 7 pounds of seed for $27.93 .

7 pound = $27.93

Now find out the cost for the 1 pound.

1\ pound\ cost= \frac{27.93}{7}

1 pound cost = $3.99

As given large bags cost $66.98.

Now find out pounds in the large bags.

Let us assume that the number of pounds in the large bags be x.

Than

3.99 × x = 66.98

x = \frac{66.98}{3.99}

x = 16.8 pounds (approx)

Now find out the ratio of  price to pound for each bag.

As small bags weight = 7 pounds

Cost of the small bags = $27.93

\frac{Price\ of\ small\ bag}{Cost\ of\ the\ small\ bags} = \frac{27.93}{7}

As large bags weight = 16.8 pounds

Cost of the large bags = $66.98

\frac{Price\ of\ large\ bag}{Cost\ of\ the\ large\ bags} = \frac{66.98}{16.8}

Hence proved
