Answer:

Percent of error of Logan's Estimate is 12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Actual Volume of sample =48 mL

Estimated Volume of sample = 42 mL

We need to find the percent errors of Logan estimate.

To calculate percent of error below are the steps.

Step 1: Subtract the Actual value from the estimated value.

Step 2: Take the absolute value of step 1

Step 3: Divide that answer by the Actual value.

Step 4: Multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

Now Substituting the values we get;

Step 1: To Subtract Actual Volume with Estimated Volume

Estimated Volume of sample - Actual Volume of sample = 42 - 48 = -6 mL

Step 2: Find Absolute value we get;

|-6| = 6

Step 3 : Divide that answer by the Actual volume.

\frac{6}{48}=0.125

Step 4: Multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

0.125\times 100 = 12.5\%

Hence Percent of error of Logan's Estimate is 12.5%

The density of a certain material is such that it weighs 9 kilograms for every 7 cubic feet of volume. Express this density in p
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

1.641× 10^-3 pounds/ cubic inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Density= mass / volume

Mass of the material= 9 kilograms

Volume= 7 cubic feet

Density= 9/7= 1.286 kg/ ft^3

Density= 1.286 kg/ ft^3

To Convert to pounds per inch

1 kg/ ft^3 = 0.00128 pound / cubic inch

1.286 kg/ ft^3 = X pounds/ cubic inch

X=( 1.286 × 0.00128)

= 0.0016407087 pounds/ cubic inch

= 1.641× 10^-3 pounds/ cubic inch

Hence,this density in pounds per inch is 1.641× 10^-3 pounds/ cubic inch

What is the equation of the line that passes through (-9,12) and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is y=1/3x 6?
tigry1 [53]
Y = 1/3x ? 6....slope here is 1/3. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. So our perpendicular line will have a slope of -3 (see how I flipped 1/3 and changed the sign)

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -3
(-9,12)...x = -9 and y = 12
now we sub and find b, the y int
12 = -3(-9) + b
12 = 27 + b
12 - 27 = b
-15 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = -3x - 15

adelina 88 [10]

The inequality for the maximum number of bottles of juice she can buy

6.13+ 2.08b <20.00

Option B

Given

Melissa has $20 to buy bagels and juice for her class

Box of bagels :   6.13 including tax

Bottle of juice: 2.08 including tax

She will buy only one box of bagels that is for 6.13

Let 'b' be the number of bottles of juice she can buy

Total cost should be less than 20 dollars

6.13(one bagels) +2.08(bottles of juices)<20

So the inequality becomes

6.13+2.08b

Helpppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
zimovet [89]
Answer:
First choice is the correct one

Explanation:
The given is:
[(x+5) / (x+2)] - [(x+1) / x(x+2)]
First, we will need to have a common denominator and then we will solve the subtraction normally. To get a common denominator, we will have to multiply both numerator and denominator of first term by x.

Therefore:
[(x+5) / (x+2)] - [(x+1) / x(x+2)] = [x(x+5) / x(x+2)] - [(x+1) / x(x+2)]
                                                 = [x(x+5)-(x+1)] / [x(x+2)]
                                                 = (x^2 + 5x - x - 1) / [x(x+2)]
                                                 = [(x^2 + 4x - 1)] / [x(x+2)]

Hope this helps :)
