2500 is 40% of the 100%
so, from the 40%, figure out 10%
2500/4=600
600 x 6=3,600
so, 3,600 is the answer

Answer:

diameter = 2.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of a circle is given as C = πd

Circumference of the tree trunk = 7.85 ft

π = 3.14

Diameter of the tree trunk = d

Thus:

7.85 = 3.14*d

Divide both sides by 3.14

7.85/3.14 = 3.14*d/3.14

2.5 = d

d = 2.5 ft

A jar contains 8 4/9 pounds of jam. If Sam eats 3 2/5 pounds of the jam, how many pounds of jam remains in the jar?

zepelin [54]

$\bf 8\frac{4}{9}\implies \cfrac{8\cdot 9+4}{9}\implies \cfrac{76}{9}
\\\\\\
3\frac{2}{5}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 5+2}{5}\implies \cfrac{17}{5}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{76}{9}-\cfrac{17}{5}\impliedby \textit{let's use an LCD of 45}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 76-9\cdot 17}{45}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{380-153}{45}\implies \cfrac{227}{45}\implies \boxed{5\frac{2}{45}}
\\\\\\
5\frac{2}{45}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 45+2}{45}\implies \cfrac{227}{45}$

A digital scale reports a 10 kg weight as weighing 8.975 kg

sergiy2304 [10]

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>

The difference between the two roots of the equation 3x^2+10x+c=0 is 4 2/3 . Find the solutions for the equation.

andrezito [222]

Answer:

Given the equation: $3x^2+10x+c =0$

A quadratic equation is in the form: $ax^2+bx+c = 0$ where a, b ,c are the coefficient and a≠0 then the solution is given by :

$x_{1,2} = \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ ......[1]

On comparing with given equation we get;

a =3 , b = 10

then, substitute these in equation [1] to solve for c;

$x_{1,2} = \frac{-10\pm \sqrt{10^2-4\cdot 3 \cdot c}}{2 \cdot 3}$

Simplify:

$x_{1,2} = \frac{-10\pm \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6}$

Also, it is given that the difference of two roots of the given equation is $4\frac{2}{3} = \frac{14}{3}$

i.e,

$x_1 -x_2 = \frac{14}{3}$

Here,

$x_1 = \frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6}$ , ......[2]

$x_2= \frac{-10 - \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6}$ .....[3]

then;

$\frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6} - (\frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6}) = \frac{14}{3}$

simplify:

$\frac{2 \sqrt{100- 12c} }{6} = \frac{14}{3}$

or

$\sqrt{100- 12c} = 14$

Squaring both sides we get;

$100-12c = 196$

Subtract 100 from both sides, we get

$100-12c -100= 196-100$

Simplify:

-12c = -96

Divide both sides by -12 we get;

c = 8

Substitute the value of c in equation [2] and [3]; to solve $x_1 , x_2$

$x_1 = \frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 12\cdot 8}}{6}$

or

$x_1 = \frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 96}}{6}$ or

$x_1 = \frac{-10 + \sqrt{4}}{6}$

Simplify:

$x_1 = \frac{-4}{3}$

Now, to solve for $x_2$ ;

$x_2 = \frac{-10 - \sqrt{100- 12\cdot 8}}{6}$

or

$x_2 = \frac{-10 - \sqrt{100- 96}}{6}$ or

$x_2 = \frac{-10 - \sqrt{4}}{6}$

Simplify:

$x_2 = -2$

therefore, the solution for the given equation is: $-\frac{4}{3}$ and -2.
