Answer:

  • $52
  • this estimate is a little low

Explanation:

a) I might choose 6 1/2 hours and $8 per hour, so the estimated earnings would be ...

  6(8) +(1/2)(8) = 52 dollars . . . . estimated earnings

These values are purposely chosen so that one is a little high and the other is a little low, hopefully producing a closer estimate than if both numbers were high (as 7 hours, $8, for example).

__

b) Using 800 instead of 790 means the pay estimate is about 1/80 = 1.25% high.

Using 6 1/2 instead of 6 3/4 means the hours estimate is about 1/27 ≈ 3.7% low.

So, we expect the product of these values to be slightly low, perhaps by about 2.5%.

_____

<em>Comment on estimating</em>

If you can estimate the error in the estimate with some reasonable accuracy, you can use that to adjust the estimate to a pretty close value.

Which symbol can be used to correctly compare the two fractions?
tatyana61 [14]
<span> The real question you need to solve is "Is 1/4 greater than, equal, or less than 15/100?" At first glance it's hard to determine how they relate to each other. So first make both fractions use the same denominator. The easiest way to do this is multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the denominator of the other fraction. So 1/4 * 100/100 = 100/400 and 15/100 * 4/4 = 60/400 Now ask yourself "Is 100/400 greater than, equal, or less than 60/400?" and the answer is pretty obvious. 100/400 > 60/400. So the answer is ">".</span>

If x+y=16 and x-y=-2, what is the value of xy?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Y=7 and

X=9

Step-by-step explanation:

X+Y=16

X=2+Y

2+Y+Y=16

2+2Y=16

2Y=16-2

2Y=14

2Y/2=14/2

Y=7

X =2+Y

So X=9

1. A soccer field has an area (A = LW) that is represented by the polynomial 1 point
matrenka [14]

Answer:

(x + 6)(x - 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for soccer field

Required

The possible dimension of the field

From the attachment, we have:

Area = x^2 - 36

Length = x +a

Width = x + b

So, we have:

Length * Width = Area

This gives:

(x + a)(x + b) = x^2 - 36

Express 36 as 6^2

(x + a)(x + b) = x^2 - 6^2

Express as difference of two squares

(x + a)(x + b) = (x + 6)(x - 6)

Hence, the dimension is: (x + 6)(x - 6)
