Her error in terms of inches was 2 inches while her percent error was 4.166%

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; From the given data Claire estimated her brother to be shorter than he actually was. She estimated his height to be 4 feet while it was actually 4 feet 2 inches.

We convert the feet into inches because 12 inches are equal to a feet.

4 feet = 4 × 12 inches = 48 inches

4 feet 2 inches = (4 × 12 inches) + 2 inches = 48 + 2 = 50 inches

Error in terms of inches = 50 inches - 48 inches = 2 inches.

Step 2 ; Her percent error is given by dividing the difference in values by the actual value multiplied by 100.

% error = (difference in values / actual value) × 100

Claire's % error = (50 - 48)/ 48 × 100 = 2/48 × 100 = 0.04166 × 100 = 4.166%.

nignag [31]

Given:

The point is (6,2).

To find:

The image of given point after rotation of 270 degrees.

Solution:

Let the given point be P(6,2).

Rotation of 270 degrees means the figure is rotated 270 degrees counterclockwise about the origin. So, the rule of rotation is

(x,y)\to (y,-x)

Using this rule, we get

P(6,2)\to P'(2,-6)

Therefore, the image of given point is (2,-6).

lauren wants to keep her cell phone bull under $60 per month. Her current cell phone plan is $30 per month plus $0.50 per text.
stellarik [79]

Answer:

The correct answer is t < 60.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lauren wants to keep her cell phone bill below $60 per month.

Lauren's current cellphone plan charges her a fixed price of $30 and per text price for one text is $0.50.

Let Lauren sends t texts in a complete month.

Total money spent on texts in a month is given by $ (0.50 × t)

Therefore Lauren's total spent in a month is given by $ (30 + (0.50 × t)).

But this amount should be under $60 as per as the given problem.

∴ 30 + (0.50 × t) < 60

⇒ (0.50 × t) < 30

⇒ t < \frac{30}{0.50}

⇒ t < 60.

So in order to keep her phone monthly bill under $60, Lauren should keep her number of texts below 60.
