Clare estimates that her brother is 4 feet tall. When they get measured at the doctor’s office, her brother’s actual height is 4
attashe74 [19]

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%.

In a fish tank, 50% of the fish are clown fish, 1/3 are angel fish and the rest are goldfish. There are 33 clown fish in the fis
zimovet [89]

Answer:

11 gold fish

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that

In a fish tank, 50% of the fish are clown fish and there are 33 clown fish in the fish tank.

Let the total number of fishes in the tank be = x

Hence,

50% of x = 33

50/100 × x = 33

50x/100 = 33

Cross Multiplying

50x = 33 × 100

x = 33 × 100/50

x = 66 fishes

Hence, the total number of fishes in the tank = 66 fishes

1/3 are angel fish

The number of angel fishes are

1/3 × 66 fishes = 22 angel fish

•The rest are goldfish. How many goldfish are there in the fish tank?

The number of gold fish is calculated as:

Total number of fishes -( Number of clown fish + Number of angel fish)

= 66 - (33 + 22)

= 66 - 55

= 11

Therefore, the number of gold fish is 11

GaryK [48]

Given: The smallest angle of rotational symmetry for a regular polygon is 30 degrees.

We have to determine the number of regular sides, a polygon have.

Number of regular sides of a polygon is given by the formula=

\frac{360}{angle measure}

= \frac{360}{30}

= 12 sides

Therefore, there are 12 regular sides of this polygon.
