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.

What is the average (arithmetic mean) of the first 90 measurements in a certain list of 92 measurements? (1) the average of the
marishachu [46]
The sum of all the measurements is just the average times the number.

\bar x = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n x_i

\sum_{i=1}^n x_i = n \bar x

So if the average of all 92 is 7 the sum of those is 92 \times 7

The average of the last two is 7.2 so their sum is 2 \times 7.2

That means the sum of the first 90 is 92 \times 7 - 2 \times 7.2

so the average of the first 90 is

 \dfrac{92 \times 7 - 2 \times 7.2}{90} = 6.99556 cm

The goals against average (A) for a professional hockey goalie is determined using the formula A = 60 a equals 60 left-parenthes
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Option 1 - \frac{At}{60}=g

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The goals against average (A) for a professional hockey goalie is determined using the formula A=60(\frac{g}{t} ). In the formula, g represents the number of goals scored against the goalie and t represents the time played, in minutes.

To find : Which is an equivalent equation solved for g?

Solution :

Solve the formula in terms of g,

A=60(\frac{g}{t})

Multiply both side by t,

At=60g

Divide both side by 60,

\frac{At}{60}=\frac{60g}{60}

\frac{At}{60}=g

Therefore, option 1 is correct.

Lady bird [3.3K]

By applying the law of sines, the length of side PQ is equal to 7.1 units.

<h3>What is the law of sines?</h3>

The law of sines is also referred to as sine law and it can be defined as an equation that relates the side lengths of a triangle to the sines of its angles.

<h3>How to calculate the length of PQ?</h3>

Mathematically, the law of sines is given by this equation:

\frac{sinA}{a} =\frac{sinB}{b} =\frac{sinC}{c}

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

\frac{sin80}{PQ} =\frac{sin42}{4.8} \\\\\frac{0.9848}{PQ} =\frac{0.6691}{4.8}\\\\0.6691PQ = 4.7270\\\\PQ = 4.7270/0.6691

PQ = 7.1 units.
