Answer: 10% is the percentage error.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, According to the question the labeled weight of the a bag of apples = 5 pounds

Since, 1 pounds = 16 ounces

Therefore the labeled weight of the a bag of apples= 5 × 16 = 80 ounces

But, the actual weight of the bag of apples = 72 ounces

Since, The percentage error = ( experiment value - actual value)×100 /experiment value

Thus, percentage error of the weight of the bag of apple= (80-72)×100/80= 800/80= 10%

Can someone help me with my homework please!
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

(-1, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached,

Ordered pair representing point P is (3, 4) [parallel to y-axis]

If this point has been reflected across a line x = 1

New point after reflection across x = 1 will be,

P(3, 4) → P'(-1, 4)

Since point P and P' will be equidistant from the line (x = 1), so the x ordinate of P' will be = 3 - 4 = -1

And y-ordinates of point P' will be same as y = 4

Which is smaller: an angle showing a turn through 1/8 of a circle or an angle showing a turn through 1/3 of a circle? Explain yo
Zolol [24]

Answer:

An angle showing a turn through 1/8 of a circle is smaller

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A complete circle represent 360°

so

<em>An angle showing a turn through 1/8 of a circle is</em>

(360\°)*(\frac{1}{8})=45\°

<em>An angle showing a turn through 1/3 of a circle is</em>

(360\°)*(\frac{1}{3})=120\°

therefore

An angle showing a turn through 1/8 of a circle is smaller

Explain how knowing 1+7 helps you find the sum for 7+1
Alex Ar [27]
Knowing 1+7 helps you find the sum of 7+1 because 1+7 and 7+1 is communitive property of addition. Also because 1+7 is the same answer as 7+1. 
Ex:
      1+7=8 
        And
       7+1=8
its the same result.
