Answer:

A. 3.8 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

A baking scale measures mass to the tenth of a gram, up to 650 grams. Which of the following measurements is possible using this scale?

a.3.8 grams

b.120.01 grams

c.800.0 grams

d.54 milligrams

Solution

The scale measures mass to the tenth of a gram

The scale measures up to 650 grams

a.3.8 grams

This measures to the tenth of a gram (to one decimal place) and it is not up to 650 grams

b.120.01 grams

This measures to hundredth of a gram ( 2 decimal places) and it is not up 650 grams.

c.800.0 grams

This measures to the tenth of a gram but exceeds the 650 grams limit

d.54 milligrams

This is in milligram, so it is wrong

Option a.3.8 grams is the only possible scale measurement among the options.

A and b are odd numbers.

stepladder [879]

Answer:

2(3+7)=20 and 20 is a multiple of 4

Step-by-step explanation:

4 times 5 equals 20, which makes it a multiple of 4

3 and 7 are both odd, and added together get 10. Times that by 2 and you get 20

Look at picture. Does anybody know the answer I’m lost?

Let $x,y$ be the dimensions of the rectangle. We know the equations for both area and perimeter:

$A=xy=36$

$P=2(x+y)=36 \iff x+y=18$

So, we have the following system:

$\begin{cases}xy=36\\x+y=18\end{cases}$

From the second equation, we can deduce

$y=18-x$

Plug this in the first equation to get

$xy=x(18-x)=-x^2+18=36$

Refactor as

$x^2-18x+36=0$

And solve with the usual quadratic formula to get

$x=9\pm3\sqrt{5}$

Both solutions are feasible, because they're both positive.

If we chose the positive solution, we have

$x=9+3\sqrt{5} \implies y=18-x=18-9-3\sqrt{5}=9-3\sqrt{5}$

If we choose the negative solution, we have

$x=9-3\sqrt{5} \implies y=18-x=18-9+3\sqrt{5}=9+3\sqrt{5}$

So, we're just swapping the role of $x$ and $y$ . The two dimensions of the rectangle are $9+3\sqrt{5}$ and $9-3\sqrt{5}$

F is inversely proportional to d2<br> When F=12, d=3<br> Work out F when d=6

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Step-by-step explanation:

F -------> 1/d²

12 -------> 1/3²

12 ×(3/6)² ----->1/6²

3----->1/6²

Force = 3N if d=6

Please help, what’s the perimeter? I got the answer wrong I need the correct answer, A, C, or D?

balandron [24]

The answer is C. The square root of 83 is about 9.1. Because a square has four sides, you multiply 9.1 by 4 to get 36.4. The product rounds to the nearest whole number at 36.
