Answer:

The percent error in his estimate is<u> 16.67%</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Christopher estimates it will take him half an hour to complete his math homework.

He is able to complete it in 25 minutes.

Now, to find the percent error  in his estimate.

Time estimates of completing homework = 30 minutes.

Time actual taken to complete homework = 25 minutes.

Error in estimate = Time estimates of completing homework - Time actual taken to complete homework.

Error in estimate = 30 minutes - 25 minutes.

Error in estimate = 5 minutes.

Now, to get the percent error:

Percent\ error =\frac{Error\ in\ estimate}{Time\ estimates\ of\ completing\ homework} \times 100.

Percent\ error=\frac{5}{30} \times 100

Percent\ error=\frac{500}{30}

Percent\ error=16.67\%.

Therefore, the percent error in his estimate is 16.67%.

the square of a certain whole number n is n^2. if 60 is a factor of n^2, it's possible that ? is not a factor of n^2. a)16 b)25
DanielleElmas [232]
If 60 is a factor of n², then √60 is a factor of n. However, n is a whole number, so its factors are whole numbers.

Simplify √60:
\sqrt{60}=\sqrt{4 \times 15}=2\sqrt{15}

If 2√15 is a factor of a whole number n, then √15 must be another factor to make it a whole number.

2\sqrt{15} \times \sqrt{15}=2 \times 15=2 \times 3 \times 5

If 60 is a factor of n², then 2, 3, and 5 must be factors of n. The factors of n² are the squares of the factors of n, so 2, 2, 3, 3, 5, and 5 must be factors of n².

Now, if 2, 2, 3, 3, 5, and 5 are factors of n², then:
* 5×5=25 must also be its factor
* 2×2×3×3=36 must also be its factor
* 2×2×5×5=100 must also be its factor

Only 16 may not be a factor of n². The answer is A.

The length of the rectangle is increased by 10%.
jonny [76]

Answer:

8% increase

Step-by-step explanation:

The length after the increase:

30 x 1.1 = 33cm

The width after the increase:

20 x 1.05 = 21cm

New perimeter:

2(33 + 21) = 108 cm^2

Old perimeter:

2(30 + 20) = 100 cm^2

Percentage increase of area:

108 / 100 = 1.08 = 8% increase
