Complete Question

Kerrie is tiling the floor of a kitchen. The kitchen floor measures 11.3 feet by 9.25 feet. She orders enough tiles for 99 square feet. Which statement about the amount of tiles is correct?

a) Kerrie estimated correctly by rounding down. She has enough tile. The exact area is 104.5 square feet.

b) Kerrie estimated correctly by rounding up. She has enough tile. The exact area is 104.5 square feet.

c) Kerrie did not estimate correctly by rounding up. She does not have enough tile. The exact area is 104.5 square feet.

d) Kerrie did not estimate correctly by rounding down. She does not have enough tile. The exact area is 104.5 square feet.

Answer:

a) Kerrie estimated correctly by rounding down. She has enough tile. The exact area is 104.5 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics we have what is defined as rounding up and rounding down.

Rounding up of numbers is when the number you want to round up is followed by number from 5 to 9(5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

E.g. 2.5 rounded up to the nearest whole number = 3

Rounding down of numbers is when the number you want to round up is followed by number from 1 to 4(1, 2, 3, 4)

E.g. 2.4 rounded down = 2

We are told in the question

Kerrie is tiling the floor of a kitchen. The kitchen floor measures 11.3 feet by 9.25 feet. She orders enough tiles for 99 square feet.

Kitchen floor is rectangular = Area = Length × Width

= 11.3 × 9.25 feet

= 104.525 square feet

We are told that Kerrie ordered for 99 square tiles.

But looking at the decimal, the number after the decimal are between 1 and 4.

Hence, she would be rounding down.

If Kerrie rounds down to the nearest whole number

11.3 feet = 11 feet

9.25 feet = 9 feet

Finding the area = 11 feet × 9 feet

= 99 square feet

Therefore, the correct statement = option a) Kerrie estimated correctly by rounding down. She has enough tile. The exact area is 104.5 square feet.

What is the volume of the sphere? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
pentagon [3]

Answer:

2,144.7

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a sphere is V=4pi r^3/3. Lets apply this formula for your sphere. The radius is 8, so lets plug in 8 in our formula. 4pi 8^3/3. Now, lets solve. 4 times pi. What is pi? We usually think of pi as 3.14. 4x3.14 is 12.56. Now, lets do 8^3/3. 8 times 3 is 512, and divided by 3 is 170.67. Alright, now we have 12.56 times 170.67. That is 2144.7 rounded to the nearest tenth.

Problem 9
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

3:36PM

Step-by-step explanation:

Leon starts at 12PM with 12 gallons of gas, and after 2 hours he has used 5 gallons of gas. This means that every 2 hours he uses 5 gallons of gas.

Next we will find at what point Leon will stop to get gas. Since he will stop when the tank is at \frac{1}{4} capacity, we can use the equation:

\frac{1}{4} * 12 = \boxed{3}

This shows \frac{1}{4} of his tank's capacity (12) is equal to 3 gallons. This means he will stop for gas when 3 gallons are remaining.

Now we need to find how many gallons of gas he uses, but as a unit rate. (This will allow us to find what time Leon will stop to get gas.) To find the unit rate, we will need to find how many gallons of gas he uses per hour.

\frac{\mbox{5 gallons}}{\mbox{2 hours}} = \frac{\mbox{2.5 gallons}}{\mbox{1 hours}}

This is a simple proportion, and now we know he uses 2.5 gallons of gas per hour.

Now we can how many hours of gas Leon has left.

He has 7 gallons of gas left at 2PM, so we can divide to find how many hours left of gas he has.

\frac{7-3}{2.5} = 1.6

The 7-3 is because Leon doesn't stop when his tank is empty, he stops 3 gallons earlier. We are dividing by 2.5 because that is how much gas he uses per hour, meaning the result of this division (1.6) is how many hours he has left.

Now we can solve for what time Leon will stop to get gas.

12PM + 2 hours of driving + the remaining 1.6 hours = 3:36PM

(1.6 hours is equal to 1 hour and 36 minutes)

Therefore, Leon will stop for gas at 3:36PM
