Answer:

The equation is;

T = 87.4 ± 1.5

Maximum value of T = 88.9 °F

Minimum value of T = 85.9 °F

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the stated temperature as 87.4 °F

Now, we are told that this stated temperature differs from the actual temperature by no more than 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit.

Thus, if the actual temperature is T, it means that T should either be 1.5 more than 87.4 or 1.5 less than 87.4.

Thus the equation is;

87.4 ± 1.5 = T

So maximum value of T = 87.4 + 1.5 = 88.9 °F

While minimum value of T = 87.4 - 1.5 = 85.9 °F

How do I subtract decimals from whole numbers?
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Just use long subtraction by expanding the decimal places of the whole number. This is done by adding a point, and enough zeros to it to match the number of decimal digits in the other number (digits after the decimal point).

12345678

i.e: 5 - 2.48374827, 2.48374827 has 8 decimal digits, so add 8 zeros after the point.

=

1 1 1 1 1 1 1

5.00000000

-

2.48374827

This is basically borrowing a group of 10s which are the same as 1s in the next decimal place up.

For each digit except the first to the right, let 10 subtract that number from it and minus 1 since the 1 is carried over.

Given right triangle jkl, what is the value of cos(l)? five-thirteenths five-twelfths twelve-thirteenths twelve-fifths
kykrilka [37]

The value of the cosine ratio cos(L) is 5/13

<h3>How to determine the cosine ratio?</h3>

The complete question is added as an attachment


Start by calculating the hypotenuse (h) using

h^2 = 5^2 + 12^2

Evaluate the exponent

h^2 = 25 + 144

Evaluate the sum

h^2 = 169

Evaluate the exponent of both sides

h = 13

The cosine ratio is then calculated as:

cos(L) = KL/h

This gives

cos(L) =5/13

Hence, the value of the cosine ratio cos(L) is 5/13

MIDDLE SCHOOL MATH DONT ANSWER IF YOU DONT KNO-<br> WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Radius is <u>2.8</u> Circumference is <u>17.584 or 17.6 Rounded to the nearest Tenths </u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find circumference with the Formula <u>C=πd</u>

C=3.14 x 5.6

<u><em>C=17.584 or 17.6 Rounded to the nearest Tenths </em></u>

2. Radius is Always half of the Diameter.

5.6/2 = 2.8

<em><u>2.8 is your radius.</u></em>

3. If you want to check you work try the formula C=2πr to see if things checks out.

C=2 x 3.14 x 2.8

<u><em>C= 17.584 or 17.6 Rounded to the nearest Tenths </em></u>

<u><em /></u>

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

Would someone mind explaining this?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

3?

Step-by-step explanation:

i think that because it's multiplying by 3.

3*3= 9

5*3= 15

7*3= 21

9*3= 27

This is the only way i could think of helping in some sort of way! I'm sorry if it's wrong! (´。_。`)

Have a great day! (´。_。`)  /  (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧
