All estimating problems make the assumption you are familar with your math facts, addition and multiplication. Since students normally memorize multiplication facts for single-digit numbers, any problem that can be simplified to single-digit numbers is easily worked.
2. You are asked to estimate 47.99 times 0.6. The problem statement suggests you do this by multiplying 50 times 0.6. That product is the same as 5 × 6, which is a math fact you have memorized. You know this because
.. 50 × 0.6 = (5 × 10) × (6 × 1/10)
.. = (5 × 6) × (10 ×1/10) . . . . . . . . . . . by the associative property of multiplication
.. = 30 × 1
.. = 30
3. You have not provided any clue as to the procedure reviewed in the lesson. Using a calculator,
.. 47.99 × 0.6 = 28.79 . . . . . . rounded to cents
4. You have to decide if knowing the price is near $30 is sufficient information, or whether you need to know it is precisely $28.79. In my opinion, knowing it is near $30 is good enough, unless I'm having to count pennies for any of several possible reasons.
Answer:
- $70
- y = 25 + 0.9x
- $250
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 10% of $50 is $5, so the purchases would come to $50 -5 = $45. Added to the $25 membership fee, the total cost for the year would be
$45 +25 = $70
2. The member pays $25 even if no purchases are made. Then any purchases are 100% - 10% = 90% of the marked price. So, the total is ...
y = 25 + 0.90x
3. $25 is 10% of $250, so that is the amount the member would have to purchase to break even on cost.
If you like, you can compare the cost without the membership (x) to the cost with the membership (25+.9x) and see where those costs are equal.
x = 25 +0.9x . . . . . x is the spending level at which there is no advantage
0.1x = 25 . . . . . . . . subtract 0.9x
25/0.1 = x = 250 . . . divide by 0.1
Answer:
x = +√30
Step-by-step explanation:
Please write 30 = x squared as 30 = x^2.
If x^2 = 30, there are two solutions: x = +√30 and x = -√30.
Several possible answers are given. x=30−−√ is closest to the correct one, but must be written as x = √30. Please ask someone how to find the "√" operator in Brainly. Or, just write "sqrt( )" instead.
Answer:
<em>2 1/3, 2 1/4, 2 3/7</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Mixed Fractions</u>
Mixed fractions are made of an integer part followed by a proper fraction.
Some examples of mixed fractions are:
3 1/2, -4 5/8, 2 2/3
Between two consecutive integers a and a+1, there are infinitely many fractions. The centered number is a 1/2. Any number with its improper fraction part less than 1/2 is closer to a than to a+1.
In our problem, Jayne bought between 2 and 3 pounds of granola. We need to provide a mixed number that is closer to 2 pounds than to 3 pounds.
We can select any number with integer part 2 and a proper fraction less than 1/2.
Examples could be :
2 1/3, 2 1/4, 2 3/7
All of them are less than 2.5
