Answer with explanation:

We have to estimate the sum of

→7.95 + 8.11 + 78.5 + 8.05 + 79.4 + 0.815

When Rounded to nearest tens

7.95 → 8.00

8.11→ 8.00

78.5→79

8.05→8.00

79.4→79.0

0.815→1

So,estimation of the above rational numbers with addition as an operation is done,the result is

→8 + 8 + 80 + 8 + 80 + 0.8 = 184.8, is not correct ,because in the expression it is not clear , the numbers are neither exactly rounded to nearest tens or tenths.

for example ,79.4 when rounded to nearest tens → 79,but in the expression 80 is written,which is not correct.

Similarly,when rounded to nearest tens, 0.815 → 1, but in the expression 0.8 is written,which is confusing.

Similarly,when rounded to nearest tens ,78.5 →79 , but in the expression 80, is written,which is incorrect.

The numbers are not clustered around a common number. Two of the numbers are very large and one is very small.

N76 [4]

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

the parabola having (1,5) as vertex have as equation:

y=k*(x-1)²+5

It is passing through (2,8)

8=k*(2-1)²+5 ==> k+5=8 ==> k=3

equation is  y=3(x-1)²+5

A game is played with a deck of 50 cards numbered from 1 to 50. At the end of each round, players calculate their score by addin
liberstina [14]

Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the score is the sum of all cards a player has, the way to make it smallest is to use the smallest cards.  So the 7 smallest cards are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.  So you want to add these up.  This gets 28
