Why is it helpful to estimate the answer before adding or subtracting decimals?

So you can get a basic idea of what your actual answer will be in range of.

Example:
10.5+5.5=__

I can safely assume with estimating that it'll be 15.
Now when I actually find the correct answer which is 16, its a safe bet knowing that your estimate is close to your actual answer.

If you make an uneducated guess like saying 10.5+5.5 was 30 then your answer was 16 its makes you wonder how you got an estimate of almost 2x of 16.

Estimates help, so you know what range your real answer would be in.

Hope this helps

If the 9-inch wheel of cheese costs $18.60, what is the cost per square inch? If the cost is less than a dollar, put a zero to t
vagabundo [1.1K]

Find the area of the wheel:

Area of a circle is found using the formula:

Area = PI x r^2

9 inch would be the diameter, so the radius would be 9/2 = 4.5 inches.

The area would be 3.14 x 4.5^2 = 63.6 square inches.

Now divide the price by the area to get price per square inch:

Cost per square inch = 18.60 / 63.6 = $0.29 (rounded to the nearest cent)

A consumer testing service tested whether the average baking time of whole wheat bread in gas ovens was less than the average ba
vichka [17]

Answer:

Part 1) The explanatory variable is the type of oven

It is a categorical variable

Part 2) The response variable is the baking time

It is a quantitative variable

part 3) two-sample z-test for proportions should be used for the test

Step-by-step explanation:

An explanatory variable is an independent variable that is not affected by all other variables. In this experiment, the type of oven is the input variable and it  is not affected by any other variable

A categorical variable is one that has two or more categories without any intrinsic ordering of the categories. The type of oven is either gas or electric, so it is categorical.

A response variable is a dependent variable whose variation depends on other variables. The baking time in this experiment depends on the type of oven used

A quantitative variable is one that take on numerical values.

A two proportion z-test allows you to compare two proportions to see if they are the same. The null hypothesis (H0) for the test is that the proportions are the same. The alternate hypothesis (H1) is that the proportions are not the same.
