Answer:

B. 1.69%

Step-by-step explanation:

If Ross calculated the countertop for a laundry room to be 12 square feet but turns out to be actually 11.8 square feet, we need to find out how much percentage error Ross has made!

In order to solve this question,

1) We need to create proportions:

Ross' calculations              x

______________ =   _________

   actual area                   100

x represents the percentage error.

100 is the total percentage.

2) Now we plug in the numbers:

We plug in 12 for Ross' calculations. We plug in 11.8 for the actual area. So, it will look like this:

   12                x

______ = _______

   11.8           100

3) Time for cross multiplication:

12 times 100 is 1,200

11.8 times x is 11.8x

So,

1,200 = 11.8x

4) Now we divide:

1,200 divided by 11.8 equals to 101.69 %

5) We are not done! We still have to subtract:

101.69

-100.00

_______

    1.69

Finished!!

<u>Our answer is 1.69%, which is B.</u>

<u>Hope this was helpful !!!</u>

Answer:

b. 1.69

Step-by-step explanation:

So to solve this problem we need to simply find the percentage increase from 11.8 to 12 =>

to solve this we would do 12 - 11.8 = 0.2 --> 0.2 is our "difference in the increase" -->

now we divide this by our amt. which is 11.8 --> 0.2/11.8 = approx. 0.0169

--> finally multiply that by 100 which is simply moving the decimal places 2 places right giving us the final answer of 1.69

<u><em>Hope this helps!</em></u>

LCM of 189024 <br>please give me answer my question​
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

360

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the LCM of 18,90 and 24.

The prime factorization of 18 = 2 × 3 × 3

The prime factorization of 90 = 2 × 5×3×3

The prime factorization of 24 = 2 × 3×2×2

LCM is least common multiple.

LCM = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5

= 360

Hence, the LCM of 18,90 and 24 is 360.

A triangle has two sides of length 17 and 2. What is the largest possible whole number length
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

The largest possible value for the third side is  18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the first side of the triangle  = 17

Second side of the triangle  = 2

Let us assume the third side of the triangle  = m

Now, In any given triangle:

"Sum of any two sides of a triangle is strictly greater than the third side."

⇒ Sum of first side  +  Sum of second side   > Third Side

   or,     m < 17 + 2

   or,     m  <  19

hence, the largest possible value for m = 18

The Question Is:
lora16 [44]

Answer:

C)  ∠3 and ∠6  is the CORRECT OPTION.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the image is UNATTACHED. Attaching image here for the reference.

Given: JL and MP are parallel.

Alternate Interior angles is a pair of angles formed when there is a common intersecting line between two parallel lines.

As JL and MP are parallel.

and KN is a traversal. So, the pair of Alternate Interior angles  so formed are:

a)   ∠3 and ∠6

b)   ∠4 and ∠5

Now, out of the given options:

A.  ∠3 and ∠4  is a LINEAR PAIR

B.  ∠1 and ∠6  makes no pair

C. ∠3 and ∠ 6  is a Alternate Interior angles pair

D.  ∠5 and ∠6 LINEAR PAIR

Hence, ∠3 and ∠ 6  is a Alternate Interior angles pair.

How do you convert 14x + 19y = 20 into slope intercept form?
nevsk [136]

Subtract 14x from both sides. Then divide both sides by 19

14x + 19y = 20\\\\19y = 20-14x\\\\19y = -14x+20\\\\y = \frac{-14x+20}{19}\\\\y = \frac{-14x}{19}+\frac{20}{19}\\\\y = -\frac{14}{19}x+\frac{20}{19}\\\\

The equation is now in slope intercept form y = mx+b

m = -14/19 is the slope

b = 20/19 is the y intercept
