Your answer is most likely B
one ounce is too small
five pounds is too large
and four pounds seems like it wouldn't be accurate enough

Answer: b. 1 pound


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Local hospital is making a histogram of the birth weight of babies born in the past year. there were 1023 babies born in the hospital last year. the weights range from 4 lb to 11 lb.

They should use 1 pound scale on the x-axis, which makes easier to to study the histogram. .

because from the given options 1 ounce is one sixteenth of a pound i.e. too small.

4 pounds scale will make total intervals =3 , which will make more difficult to study the histogram.

5 pounds scale is larger than 4 pounds scale, thus it can not be the rquired scale.

Two figures are known as similar figures if there the corresponding angles are equal and the corresponding sider is in ratio. The value of x is 10. Thus, the correct option is B.

<h3>What are Similar Figures?</h3>

Two figures are known as similar figures if there the corresponding angles are equal and the corresponding sider is in ratio. It is denoted by the symbol "~".

Since the two prisms are similar, their sides will be in a common ratio. The value of the common ratio will be,

Common ratio = 4/2 = 5/2.5 = 3/1.5 = 2

Since the common ratio of every side is equal to 2, the value of x can be written as,

Common Ratio = 20/x = 2

20/x = 2

x = 10

Hence, the value of x is 10. Thus, the correct option is B.

What if X if [ -1 -2 4 8] +X= [-5 -1 2 1]?
Arada [10]

Answer:

[-4 1 -2 - 7]

Step-by-step explanation:

[-1 - 2 4 8] + X = [-5 - 1 2 1]

X= [-5 - 1 2 1]- [-1 - 2 4 8]

X=[-5-(-1) - 1-(-2) 2-4 1-8]

X=[-4 1 - 2 - 7]

Standard form:
5,098,000

Scientific notation. 
1) only 1 digit should be before the decimal point.
5.098000

2) only non-zero number must be part of the coefficient. the rest are included in the base of 10.

5.098 x 10^6  Choice D.

Exponent is the number of times the decimal moved from its original placement to its place after the 1st digit.

A right rectangular prism with square bases has a height of 20 centimeters and a volume of 800 cubic centimeters.
nignag [31]

Answer:

The length of a side of the base is 20 centimeters.

The area of a lateral side between the bases is about 126.5 square centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a rectangular prism with a total volume of 800 cu cm, and a height of 20 cm.

So, the base has an area of...  800/20 = 40 sq cm.

The prism is a cube.   NO.  If it was a cube, the base would be 400 sq cm (20x20), since the height is 20.

The diagonal of the base is 4 centimeters. NO. with a base of 40 sq cm, it's impossible to have a diagonal of 4 cm.  A diagonal would form a hypotenuse... and an hypotenuse is longer than the two other sides... an hypotenuse of 4 would mean for example sides of about 2 and 3...  which gives 6 sq cm for the base, not 40.

The length of a side of the base is 20 centimeters.  COULD BE. The base is 40 sq cm, it could have a side of 20 and the other of 2.  Without knowing more about the prism than what's included in the question, we can't say YES and we can't say NO.

The area of a base is 40 square centimeters.  Yes

The area of a lateral side between the bases is about 126.5 square centimeters. YES, since the height is 20, that would mean one side of the base would be roughly 6.325 cm... for a base area of 6.325 x 6.325 = 40 sq cm.
