That question is accompanied by these answer choices:

<span>A. The scale is accurate but not precise.
B. The scale is precise but not accurate.
C. The scale is neither precise nor accurate.
D. The scale is both accurate and precise.

Then you need to distinguish between accuracy and precision.

Accuracy refers to the closeness of the measure to the real value, while precision, in this case, refers to the level of significant figures that the sacle report.

The fact that the scale reports the number with 4 significant figures means that it is very precise, but the fact that the result is not so close to the real value as the number of significan figures pretend to be, means that the scale is not accurate.

So, the answer is that the scale is precise but not accurate (the option B).

NemiM [27]

Given :

Michaela runs to the end of her street and back in 90 s.

Her brother, Jacob, walks to the end of the street and back in 3 min.

They both run or walk for the same amount of time, but Michaela makes 5 more trips than Jacob.

To Find :

How many times did each person go to the end of the street and back.

Solution :

Let, they both walk for T seconds.

Number of rounds Michaela walk is, n₁ = T/90 .

Number of rounds Jacob walk is, n₂ =T/180 .

It is given that :

n₁ = n₂ + 5

T/90 + T/180 = 5

( T/90 + T/180 ) × 180 = 5×180

2T + T = 900

3T = 900

T = 300 s

So, n₁ = 300/90 = 3

n₂ = 1

Hence, this is the required solution.

Karen brought a total of 7 Items at 5 different stores. She began with $65.00 and had $15.00 remaining. Which of the following e
Virty [35]

Answer:

A.) 7x x 5=$50.00

Step-by-step explanation:

You can eliminate B and C as they don't include the 5 different stores.

D is incorrect because it doesn't include the 7 items.

Therefore, A is correct because 7x is the 7 items multiplied by the average cost per item and you multiply by 5 because she does that at each of the 5 stores. It = to 50 because she started with $65 but ends up with $15 so you subtract $65 with $15 to get $50 as that's how much she spent.
