Answer: E: The number of books a person finished reading last month

Step-by-step explanation:

First, a discrete variable is a variable that only can take some given values in a set, the discrete variables are usually not dense, and a continuous variable is a variable that can take any value in a range (where the accepted values are dense).

So, for example, the set of the natural numbers is discrete, and the set of the real numbers can represent a continuous variable.

Here the only option that is really discrete will be the number of books that a person finished reading last month because here only positive whole numbers are accepted (you can not finish a 0.454 of a book)

The other options are continuous because all are classical measures.

For example, the weight of a person can jump between:

75.6kg and 75.7kg.

So you could think that this is discrete because the values between 75.6kg and 75.7g are not shown with our measuring device, but those will be added in the error of the measure because the weights between 75.6kg and 75.7kg are actually possible, so they must be accepted.

Let b and s be the velocity of the boat and stream respectively....

3(b-s)=27

b-s=9

b=9+s  we will use this in the second equation....

2(b+s)=30

b+s=15, now use b found above in this to get:

9+s+s=15

2s+9=15

2s=6

s=3, and since from earlier b-s=9, b=9+s so

b=12

So the speed of the boat is 12mph and the stream is 3 mph

Roland receives $500 as a graduation present from his aunt. He plans to use part of the money to purchase a laptop for $289, inc
katrin [286]

Answer:

52x < $211

Step-by-step explanation:

If Roland uses $289 to purchase the laptop from the $500 that was given to him then he would be left with

500 - 289 = $211

With this he can purchase video games. Since each video game costs the same price of $52 then we can use the variable x to represent the number of games he can buy with the following inequality...

52x < $211
