How many times does he have to drive 160 miles in order to cover 880 ?

880/160 = 5.5 times

He'll need 5 complete tanks of gas, and 1/2 of another one.

$160\ miles\ \rightarrow\ \ 1\ tank\ of\ gas\\880\ miles\ \rightarrow\ x\\\\160\cdot x=880\ /:160\\\\x= \frac{880}{160} \ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ x= \frac{11}{2} \ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ x= 5.5\\\\Ans.\ 5.5\ tank\ of\ gas$

Chang is estimating the volume of his bathtub the actual volume of his bathtub is 37 gal chang’s estimate is 31 gal find the abs

stepladder [879]

<h3>The absolute error is 6</h3><h3>The percent error is 16.22 %</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Actual volume of his bathtub is 37 gal

Estimate is 31 gal

<em><u>Find the absolute error</u></em>

Absolute Error = | Measured Value - Actual Value |

Absolute Error = | 31 - 37 |

Absolute Error = 6

<em><u>Find the percent error</u></em>

$Percent\ error = \frac{\text{estimate - actual}}{actual} \times 100$

Substituting we get,

$percent\ error = \frac{31-37}{37} \times 100\\\\percent\ error = \frac{-6}{37} \times 100\\\\percent\ error = -16.22$

Negative sign means percent decrease

Thus percent error is 16.22 %

Calvin is building a fence. The fence will enclose a 100 square foot area, 10 ft wide by 10 ft long. Calvin can put fence posts

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

20 fence posts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calvin is building a fence. The fence will enclose a 100 square foot area, 10 ft wide by 10 ft long. Calvin can put fence posts 2 feet apart.

Now, if he puts a fence post at each corner of the building, then considering each length of the building there will be $(\frac{10}{2} + 1) = 6$ posts along each length.
