Answer:

If the weight of a package is multiplied by two thirds the result is 57.8 pounds. The weight of the package is 86.7 pounds

Solution:

Given that when weight of a package multiplied by two third the result is 57.8 pounds.

Need to calculate weight of the package.

Let’s assume the weight of the package = x

On multiplying 2/3 by weight of package we get

$\frac{2}{3} \times x = \frac{2x}{3}$

So from given information, if the weight of a package is multiplied by two thirds the result is 57.8 pounds. Hence we get,

$\frac{2x}{3} = 57.8$

On solving above expression for value of x, we get

x = 86.7

Hence the weight of the package is 86.7 pounds

Ipatiy [6.2K]

The box office manager said that 5000 people attended the show.
Find the possible actual number of people who attended the show if he convert it to the nearest hundred.
=> 5 000 = 5 thousands, 0 hundreds, 0 tens, 0 ones.
=> x xxx = actual number of people who attended the show
=> x xxx = may be the actual number is 4 990 or more because he rounded the number to it’s nearest hundreds.
=> 4 990 , hundredths place has a value of 9 and the next digit also has a value of 9
thus when you round it, it will become 5000.

Step-by-step explanation:

0.033×2451=80.883

2451+80.883=2531.883

=83.552139+2531.883

=2615.435139×0.033

=86.30935959+2615.435139

Mrs. Allard asked her students to identify which of the polynomials below are in standard form and explain why.

ANEK [815]

Answer:

Only II. is written in standard form

Step-by-step explanation:

The three polynomials given are:

I. $15x^4 - 6x + 3x^2 - 1$

II. $12x^3 + 8x + 4$

III. $285 + 8x^2 + 10%$

A polynomial is said to be in standard form when the variables are written in terms of descending powers i.e. the term with the highest power first, followed by the next and so on.

Examining the three polynomials I, II and III, there is only one which follows this rule and that is:

II. $12x^3 + 8x + 4$

The term with the highest power (3) came first, followed by the term with the next degree of power (1) and the last term with degree of power as 0.

Hence, only II. is written in standard form.
