Question:

How fast should the ant walk to go around the rectangle in 4 minutes if the sides are 12 inches and 16 inches

Answer:

The ant should walk 14 inches per minute

Solution:

Given that,

Dimensions of rectangle are 12 inches and 16 inches

Find the perimeter of rectangle

Perimeter = 2(length + width)

Perimeter = 2(12 + 16)

Perimeter = 2(28) = 56

Thus perimeter of rectangle is 56 inches

Time taken = 4 minutes

We have to find the speed at which ant covers 56 inches in 4 minutes

The speed is given by formula:

$speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

$speed = \frac{56}{4} = 14$

Thus the ant should walk 14 inches per minute

For data at the interval level you cannot calculate meaningful differences between data entries.

Alex Ar [27]

Answer: A. FALSE

Step-by-step explanation: The interval scale presents a measurement level for representing numerical variables in an ordered and fixed manner. Measurement are represented on the scale at equal intervals with each difference between consecutive intervals being the same. With this attribute, data represented on an interval scale gives meaningful difference between the data entries also allowing the US to know the size of the interval. Interval scales allows us to make subtraction and addition on data it's data. Examples of data represented on interval scale include, Temperature, ph and other numeric data with arbitrary zero levels
