Answer:
<em>The percent error of the cyclist's estimate is 5.63%</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Percentages</u>
The cyclist estimates he will bike 80 miles this week, but he really bikes 75.5 miles.
The error of his estimate in miles can be calculated as the difference between his estimate and the real outcome:
Error = 80 miles - 75.5 miles = 4.5 miles
To calculate the error as a percent, we divide that quantity by the original estimate and multiply by 100%:
Error% = 4.5 / 80 * 100 = 5.625%
Rounding to the nearest hundredth:
The percent error of the cyclist's estimate is 5.63%
Answer: he hiked 5.6 miles up the canyon.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent his speed hiking uphill.
His speed running downhill was 2.8 mph greater than his speed hiking uphill. This means that his speed running downhill would be x + 2.8
Distance = speed × time
Kevin hiked up Lamb’s Canyon in 2 hours. This means that the distance covered by hiking uphill is 2 × x = 2x
He ran back downhill in 1 hour. This means that the distance covered by running downhill is 1 × (x + 2.8) =
x + 2.8
Since the distance uphill is the same as the distance downhill, then
2x = x + 2.8
2x - x = 2.8
x = 2.8
Therefore, the distance hiked up the canyon is
2x = 2 × 2.8 = 5.6 miles
Answer:
A) y = x - 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the line with slope m and intercept b is
y = mx + b
Here were have slope = m = 1.
y-intercept = b = -3/4
Equation:
y = mx + b
y = 1x + (-3/4)
y = x - 3/4
Answer: A) y = x - 3/4
Perimeter of a rectangle is given by (2 × Length(l)) + (2 × Width(w)) = 2l + 2w
l= 11 feet
2(11) + 2w = 46
2w = 46 - 22 = 24
w = 24/2 = 12 feet
Width = 12 feet.
