two chefs are trying to break world record for the longest spaghetti. chef a measures his spaghetti strand to be 503 2/3 ft chef

b measures his spaghetti strand be 503.66 ft. Since 503.66 rounds to 503.7 the judges declare chef b is the winner. Explain y chef a should protest the judges' decision

\frac{2}{3} =0.666666... = 0.67

Chef A Length >=< Chef B Length
503 \frac{2}{3} >=< 503.66
503.67 = 503.67

If you convert \frac{2}{3} into a decimal and round it, it shows that both the chefs have the the same length of pasta.

Lenght spaghetti chef a:
503 2/3ft= (503*3+2)/3=1511/3 =503,(6)
lenght spaghetti chef b:
503,66

Because 503,(6)>503,66
=> lenght spaghetti chef a > lenght spaghetti chef b
So, the winner must be chef a, but, if 503.66 rounds to 503.7, also 503(6) rounds to 503.7, and in this case
lenght spaghetti chef a= lenght spaghetti chef b
So, <span>chef a should protest the judges' decision, because his </span>lenght spaghetti is ≥ lenght spaghetti chef b.

Mr. Parker wants to rent a cargo van for a day. It will cost the daily fee of $50 plus $0.35 per mile driven. Let m = the number
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

<h2>y=0.35m+50</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

the daily fee= $50

cost per mile driven =$0.35

Let m = the number of miles

let y be the total cost

Step two

Required

the expression for the total cost is

An algebraic expression that shows the amount he will pay for the van. is  

<em>y=0.35m+50</em>

Find an equation of the circle that satisfies the given conditions. (Give your answer in terms of x and y.) Center at the origin
Elanso [62]

Answer:

The equation of circle is x^2+y^2=65.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the circle passes through the point (8,1) and center at the origin.

The distance between any point and the circle and center is called radius. it means radius of the given circle is the distance between (0,0) and (8,1).

Distance formula:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Using distance formula the radius of circle is

r=\sqrt{\left(8-0\right)^2+\left(1-0\right)^2}=\sqrt{65}

The standard form of a circle is

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2         .... (1)

where, (h,k) is center and r is radius.

The center of the circle is (0,0). So h=0 and k=0.

Substitute h=0, k=0 and r=\sqrt{65} in equation (1).

(x-0)^2+(y-0)^2=(\sqrt{65})^2

x^2+y^2=65

Therefore the equation of circle is x^2+y^2=65.

Flip a coin twenty five times, the purpose of this is to show that theoretical and experimental do not always overlap.

Theoretically, it should be a fifty-fifty chance.

In the experiment because you do it a odd amount of times, 25, each flip will be worth a four percent chance.

You would not be able to make a fifty fifty chance with that amount of flips.

Also here:

1.) 13 Heads, 12 tails

2.) 48% chance for the coin to land on tails, 52% chance for the coin to land on heads.

3.) The theoretical probability of a coin landing on heads is 50% of the time that the coin is flipped. This is because there are two possibilities with an equal likelihood of happening 

4) The theoretical probability and experimental probability are different as theoretically there would be an equal likelihood or probability and in the experiement, there was a higher probability for the coin to land on heads.
