Answer: Her estimation is not reasonabl.fdgfdgfdgfd

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

38% of 63.

He estimated 38% as 40%

and

63 is estimated as 70.

and then he multiplied 70 by 0.4 and get 28.

But her estimation is not reasonable.

63  must be estimated as 60 instead of 70.

We always check the last digit, if is more than 5, then it is rounded off to next digit.

If the last digit is less than 5, then it is rounded off to that digit itself.

So, In case of 63, last digit is 3 which is less than 5 so, it will becomes 60.

So, 40% of 60 is given by

\dfrac{40}{100}\times 60\\\\=0.4\times 60\\\\=24

Hence, her estimation is not reasonable.

Nadusha1986 [10]

The cost of 8 pounds of oranges based on the total cost of 5 pounds bought is 12.00

What is the cost for a pound of oranges?

The cost of a pound of oranges based on the rate at which 5 pounds were bought and 8 pounds would also be bought is determined as the amount paid for 5 pounds of oranges divided by the number of pounds of oranges bought

cost per pound of oranges=cost of 5 pounds/5 pounds

cost per pound of oranges=7.50/5

cost per pound of oranges=1.50

Based on the 1.50 per pound, the cost of 8 pounds is the cost per pound multiplied by 8 pounds

cost of 8 pounds of oranges=1.50*8pounds

cost of 8 pounds of oranges=12.00

A group of 86 people consist of men women and children. There are twice as many women then there are men. There are 6 more child
weqwewe [10]

Answer: 16 men

32 women

38 children

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of men in the group.

Let y represent the number if women in the group.

Let z represent the number of children in the group.

A group of 86 people consist of men women and children. This means that

x + y + z = 86 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

There are twice as many women than there are men. It means that

x = y/2

There are 6 more children than there are women. This means that

z = y + 6

Substituting x = y/2 and z = y + 6 into equation 1, it becomes

y/2 + y + y + 6 = 86

multiplying through by 2, it becomes

y + 2y + 2y + 12 = 172

5y = 172 - 12 = 160

y = 160/5 = 32

x = y/2 = 32/2

x = 16

z = y + 6 = 32 + 6

z = 38
