That question is accompanied by these answer choices:

<span>A. The scale is accurate but not precise.
B. The scale is precise but not accurate.
C. The scale is neither precise nor accurate.
D. The scale is both accurate and precise.

Then you need to distinguish between accuracy and precision.

Accuracy refers to the closeness of the measure to the real value, while precision, in this case, refers to the level of significant figures that the sacle report.

The fact that the scale reports the number with 4 significant figures means that it is very precise, but the fact that the result is not so close to the real value as the number of significan figures pretend to be, means that the scale is not accurate.

So, the answer is that the scale is precise but not accurate (the option B</span>

Shaun needs to make mortar for brick-laying. It is made in the ratio 7:3 of sand to cement.

Tju [1.3M]

Sand to cement
7:3

210:x

ask yourself what number is needed to multiply by 7 to get 210 ( so you'd divide 210 by 7 which is 30). Multiply the other side by thirty as well to get the value of x

3*30 which is 90

Fiona wrote the linear equation y = 2/5 X -5. When Henry wrote his equation they discovered that his equation had all the same S

REY [17]

The equation of the graph is given as y = (2/5)x - 5.

You have to figure out which of the choices equals the equation given,
y = (2/5)x - 5.
You could solve each of the answer choices for y, but since each choice is in the format x - (m)y = b, you can put the given equation in that format too.

$y= \frac{2}{5}x - 5 \\ 
5= \frac{2}{5}x-y \\ 
 \frac{2}{5}x - y = 5 \\ 
 (\frac{5}{2}) \frac{2}{5}x - (\frac{5}{2})y = (\frac{5}{2})5 \\ 
x - (\frac{5}{2})y = \frac{25}{2}$
