Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\$6\dfrac{2}{3}\approx\$6.67}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\bold{METHOD\ 1:}\\\\\begin{array}{ccc}12&-&\$4.00\\\\20&-&\$x\end{array}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\12x=(20)(4)\\\\12x=80\qquad\text{divide both sides by 12}\\\\x=\dfrac{80}{12}\\\\x=\dfrac{20}{3}\\\\x=6\dfrac{2}{3}\Rightarrow x\approx6.67$

$\bold{METHOD\ 2:}\\\\12\ \text{pencils cost}\ \$4.00.\\\\1\ \text{pencil cost}\ \$4.00:12=\$\dfrac{4}{12}=\$\dfrac{1}{3}\\\\20\ \text{pencils cost}\ \$\dfrac{1}{3}\times20=\$\dfrac{20}{3}=\$6\dfrac{2}{3}\approx\$6.67$

Evaluate using properties of arithmetic operations. 12∙121∙13÷(26∙11)∙7÷11

Anika [276]

Answer:

0.1978

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the rule of BODMAS (or FEDMAS), let us do the bracket first.

26·11 = 286

Now, do the multiplication from the left.

12·121·3 = 4356

286·7 = 2002

Now, do the division from the left.

$\frac{\frac{4356}{2002} }{11}$

$=\frac{4356}{2002(11)}$

$=\frac{396}{2002}$

= 0.1978

Consider the inequality -20.2 > 0y. Which of the following must be true? Check all that apply. You cannot divide by zero. The

Katarina [22]

Answer:

You can not divide by zero.

The inequality is equivalent to - 20.2 > 0 which is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can not divide both sides by zero, because if we divide both sides by zero, then the inequality becomes

$- \frac{20.2}{0} > y$

⇒ - ∞ > y, which is not possible.

Again, the given inequality is - 20.2 > 0 × y.

We have to multiply y with zero and a product of zero with any term is also zero.

Hence, the inequality becomes - 20.2 > 0.

Therefore, the inequality is equivalent to - 20.2 > 0 which is false. (Answer)

Answer: (C) the 2633 viewers who phoned in.

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics , a sample is a countable subset of a large population that represents the entire population.

Given : A television station is interested in predicting whether or not voters are in favor of an increase in the state sales tax.

It asks its viewers to phone in and indicate whether they support or are opposed to an increase in the state sales tax in order to generate additional revenue for education.

Of the 2633 viewers who phone in, 1474 (55.98%) are opposed to the increase.

i.e. 1474 out of 2633 viewers opposed to the increase.

Clearly , 2633 viewers are representing the entire population of viewers.

Hence, the sample obtained is the 2633 viewers who phoned in.
