It's 1/8 of a chance that he'll get a pearl. There are 96 treasures in the chest. 12 of them are pearls. 12/96 is converted into 1/8, therefore that is the answer

A scientist measures a substance to be 0.8 grams. Calculate the percent of error in the measurement. Show all work for full cred
Volgvan
You'll need to give a bit more information for the question to be answered. You can only calculate the percentage of error if you know what the mass of the substance *should be* and what you've *measured* it to be.

In other words, if a substance has a mass of 0.55 grams and you measure it to be 0.80 grams, then the percent of error would be:

percent of error = { | measured value - actual value | / actual value } x 100%

So, in this case:

percent of error = { | 0.80 - 0.55 | / 0.55 } x 100%
percent of error = { | 0.25 | / 0.55 } x 100%
percent of error = 0.4545 x 100%
percent of error = 45.45%

So, in order to calculate the percent of error, you'll need to know what these two measurements are. Once you know these, plug them into the formula above and you should be all set!

Find the value of the variable if P is between J & K. A) JP = 8z - 17 B) PK = 5z + 37 C) JK = 17z - 4
Daniel [21]
<span>We cannot deduce about the exact location of P between J and K. But we can conclude: segment JP + segment PK = line JK.
</span><span>JP + PK = JK.
</span><span>Substitute first each.
(8z - 17) + (5z + 37) = 17z - 4
Combine like terms.
13z + 20 = 17z - 4
Isolate the variable z.
4z = 24
z = 6
The value of the variable z is then 6 units.</span>

If the height and base of the parallelogram shown are each decreased by 2 cm what is the area of the new parallelogram
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

<u>complete question:</u>

If the height and base of the parallelogram shown are each decreased by 2 cm, what is the area of the new parallelogram?

A parallelogram with a base of 10 centimetres and a height of 8 centimetres

area = 48 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallelogram is quadrilateral with 4 sides formed by 2 pair of parallel lines. The area of a parallelogram is represented as follows :

area of parallelogram =  B × H

where

B = breadth

H = height

According to the question the height and the base each reduced by 2 cm.

The new base = 10 - 2 = 8 cm

The new height = 8 - 2 = 6 cm

area = B × H

area = 8 × 6

area = 48 cm²
