Step-by-step explanation:

The shape formed by this problem is a right triangle which is attached.

We apply Pythagoras Theorem

x^2=17^2+15^2\\x^2=514\\x=22.7\: km

The distance from Hawick to Kelso is 22.7 km (to the nearest tenth of a km)

Store had a sale on our supplies the price p of each item was mark down 60% which expression represents the new price
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

0.4p or p-0.6p

Step-by-step explanation:

We use percents in decimal form to multiply it with the price. We convert percents into decimals by dividing the percent number by 100. For example, 78% divided by 100 becomes 0.78.

There are two ways to look at it:

  • For finding the price we pay during a sale, we focus on the percent we pay. If 60% off is the sale, then we spend 40% or 100-60=40. 40% is 0.40. Multiply that by p an unknown price and we have 0.4p.
  • We can find the percent off by multiplying the price by the percent conversion. So 60% is 0.60. Then subtract it from the original price to find the leftover that we pay. This is p-0.6p.

There are exactly 2.54 centimeters in 1 inch. When using this conversion factor, how many significant figures are you limited t
IgorC [24]

Significant figures tells us that about how may digits we can count on to be precise given the uncertainty in our calculations or data measurements.

Since, one inch  = 2.54 cm.

This is equivalent as saying that 1.0000000.. inch = 2.540000... cm.

Since the inch to cm conversion doesn't add any uncertainty, so we are free to keep any and all the significant figures.

Since, being an exact number, it has an unlimited number of significant figures and thus when we convert inch to cm we multiply two exact quantities together. Therefore, it will have infinite number of significant figures.
