Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Precision is defined as the closeness of two or more measurements to each other.This is how much close are the series of measurements of a same object to each other.

For example : If we measure volume of water in flask which comes out to be 2 mL and again on measuring for the number of times we get same value of 2 mL. Hence, this measurement will said to be precise.

A scale measures weight to the nearest 0.5 lb.So, from the given options the measurement which is appropriate to the given precision scale is 140.5 lbs.

Answer: (3,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

$-3x-7y=5\\15x+6y=33$

$5(-3x-7y)=5(5)\\-15x-35y=25$

new system:

$-15x-35y=25\\15x+6y=33$

add.

$-29y=58\\y=-2$

plug in -2 for y

$-3x-7(-2)=5\\-3x+14=5\\-3x=-9\\x=3$

system:

$(3,-2)$

The answer is a = $\frac{4}{-3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>1. Convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction</em>

To find the numerator, multiply the denominator by the whole number and add the numerator to it.

The denominator remains the same.

So, 2 $\frac{2}{3}$ will be $\frac{8}{3}$

<em>2. Now the equation is,</em>

$\frac{3}{2}$ a - $\frac{4}{3}$ a = $\frac{10}{3}$ + $\frac{8}{3}$ a

<em>3. Take LCM on both sides. </em>

For the left side, multiply the first fraction by $\frac{3}{3}$ and multiply the second fraction by $\frac{2}{2}$

$\frac{3*3}{2*3}$ a - $\frac{4*3}{3*3}$ a = $\frac{10+8a}{3}$

<em>4. Solve by making a the subject</em>

$\frac{9a-8a}{6}$ = $\frac{10+8a}{3}$

$\frac{a}{6}$ = $\frac{10+8a}{3}$

$\frac{3a}{6}$ =10+8a

$\frac{a}{2}$ = 10 + 8a

a = 2(10 + 8a)

a = 20 + 16a

a-16a = 20

-15a = 20

a = $\frac{20}{-15}$

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

Therefore, the answer is a = $\frac{4}{-3}$

At Cindy's birthday each guest will get one-third of a medium sized pizza. There will be 12 people at the party, including Cindy

tiny-mole [99]

Answer: 4 pizzas

Step-by-step explanation:

There are to be 12 people at the party.

Each person is expected to take 1/3 of a pizza.

The total number of pizza needed is therefore:

= No. of people * quantity of pizza

= 12 * 1/3

= 4 pizzas

<em>Note: Answer would be 6 if each guest wanted 1/2 of a pizza. </em>
