The metric system is another system of measurement used to describe an objects capacity

In the metric system, each of the common kinds of measure -- length, weight, capacity -- has one basic unit of measure. To measure smaller amounts, divide the basic unit into parts of ten, a hundred, or a thousand, and so on. To measure larger amounts, multiply the basic unit by ten, a hundred, or a thousand, and so on.

Length:

1 kilometer (km) = 1000 meters (m)
1 centimeter (cm) = .01 meter (m)
1 millimeter (mm) = .001 meter (m)

Weight:

1 kilogram (kg) = 1000 grams (g)
1 milligram (mg) = .001 gram (g)

Capacity:

1 milliliter = .001 liter (l)

A person gets on and off a bathroom scale four times. The four readings (in pounds) are 148, 151, 150, and 152. Each time after

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

See explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each time after the person gets off the scale, the reading is 2 lb the person's weight must be near the mean of

148-2, 151-2, 150-2, 152-2; that is to say, near the mean of 146, 149, 148, 150 = (146+149+148+150)/4 = 148.25

We could estimate the uncertainty as the standard error SE

$\bf SE=\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

where

s = standard deviation of the sample

n = 4 sample size.

Computing s:

$\bf s=\sqrt{\frac{(146-148.25)^2+(149-148.25)^2+(148-148.25)^2+(150-148.25)^2}{4}}=1.479$

So, the uncertainty is 1.479/2 = 0.736

It is not possible to estimate the bias, since it is the difference between the true weight and the mean, but we do not know the true weight.

Slope 8 ; through (4,3)

Reptile [31]

Answer:

y=8x-29

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know the slope (m) is 8, we can plug it in the slope-intercept formula y=mx+b, making y=8x+b.

Now we need to find the y-intercept (b). To do that, you would need to plug in the points given to you, which were (4,3).

x=4, y=3... so 3=8(4)+b

Now you can solve for the variable b to find the y-intercept.

3=8(4)+b, multiply...

3=32+b, subtract 32 on both sides...

-29=b

Therefore, the y-intercept, or b, is -29.

The equation would be y=8x-29

The length of the garden bed is 6 feet

<h3>The volume of a rectangular prism</h3>

The formula for calculating the volume of a rectangular prism is expressed as:

V = lwh

If turner and his grandfather used 18 bags of topsoil, each containing 3/4 of a cubic foot, to fill the bed completely, hence;

V = 3/4 * 18

V = 13.5 cubic foot

In order to determine the length of the garden;

135/10 = 9/2 * 1/2l

27/2 =9/4 l

18l = 27 * 4

18l = 108

l = 6 feet

Hence the length of the garden bed is 6 feet
