Answer:

The percent error is 40%.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 divided by 5 (actual time) = 0.4

What is the solution of 5/2-7= 3/4x+14,
Sidana [21]

Answer:

D) x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

\sf{\dfrac{5}{2}x-7=\dfrac{3}{4}x+14 \implies \dfrac{10}{4}x-7=\dfrac{3}{4}x+14}

1. Multiply both sides by 4

\sf{4\left(\dfrac{10}{4}x-7\right)=4\left(\dfrac{3}{4}x+14\right)}\\\\\implies 10x-28=3x+56

2. Subtract 3x from both sides

\sf{10x-3x-28=3x-3x+56}\\\\\implies 7x-28=56

3. Add 28 to both sides

\sf{7x-28+28=56+28}\\\\\implies 7x=84

4. Divide both sides by 7 to isolate the variable:

\sf{\dfrac{7x}{7}=\dfrac{84}{7}}\\\\\implies x=12

Yao Xin puts 3/10 liters of potting soil in each pot for planting flowers. She has 17/3 liters of potting soil. How many pots ca
kari74 [83]

For this case defining variables we have:

x: total amount of liters of potting soil.

y: number of liters of potting soil in each pot.

We have then to find the number of pots we use the following expression:

N = \frac{x}{y}

Substituting values we have:

N = \frac{\frac{17}{3}}{\frac{3}{10}}

Rewriting we have:

N = \frac{170}{9}

N = 18.8

Rounding to the previous whole we have:

N = 18

Answer:

Yao Xin can fill 18 pots

7.1x10^-2 as an ordinary number
Sonja [21]
Hey there,

So let's start off with one part of this equation . . . 


10^{-2} would be 0.01.

So, we have 0.01 has our answer (so far).
 
Then we would do 7.1 × 0.01, this would give us  . . .

0.071.

Your correct and final answer would be \boxed{0.071}

Hope this helps you!
