Why are halves a good choice for benchmark fractions for 1 1/3

Mathematics
1 answer:
Natalka [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer and explanation:

Benchmark fractions are fractions that are used as references in measuring other fractions. They are easily estimated and so can be used in measuring more "specific" fractions such as 1/5, 7/9, 3/7, 1/3 etc. If I wanted to measure 1 1/3cm for instance using a calibrated ruler, having centimeter measurements, I would first find 1cm on the ruler and then find half of one centimeter. Seeing that half is bigger than 1/3 but close, I could then estimate 1/3 to be somewhere less than 1/2 but a bit close to it

The cost of producing magnets with the company logo printed on them consists of aonetime setup fee of $180,00 plus $0.60 for eac
MissTica

We have the following:

The formula to calculate the cost is as follows:

C=180+0.6\cdot p

In this case, p is equal a 1700, replacing:

\begin{gathered} C=180+0.6\cdot1700 \\ C=180+1020 \\ C=1200 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the cost of 1700 magnets is $1200

He mean potassium content of a popular sports drink is listed as 140 mg in a 32-oz bottle. Analysis of 20 bottles indicates a sa
mezya [45]

Answer: (A) H0: μ = 140 mg vs. H1: μ ≠ 140 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Usually null hypothesis represents the claim that the values associated to the groups being tested have no statistical difference but alternative hypothesis supports the claim that there is statistical difference.

Let \mu be the population mean .

We are given that the mean potassium content of a popular sports drink is listed as 140 mg in a 32-oz bottle.

i.e. Null hypothesis :H_0:\mu=140

Alternative hypothesis for two tail hypothesis has sign (≠).

i.e. Alternative hypothesis : H_1 : \mu\neq140

∴ The hypotheses for a two-tailed test of the claimed potassium content:

H0: μ = 140 mg vs. H1: μ ≠ 140 mg
