Answer:

<em>Total amount of $ at beginning of day ⇒ ( About ) $ 26.1</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us say x represents ⇒ amount of $ at the beginning of the day;

If she spent 1 / 6 of this total money on books, we can say that the amount spent on books is 1/6x. Consecutively if 1/8 of this money was spent on shoes, the amount spent on shoes is 1/8x;

Knowing that $13.50 was remaining, let us set up the following equation;

x - ( 1/6x + 1/8x + 5 ) = 13.50 ⇒ now let us solve for x,

x - ( 1/6x + 1/8x + 5 ) = 13.50 ⇒ add similar elements, expanding,

x - ( 7/24x + 5 ) = 13.50 ⇒ distribute the minus sign

x - 7/24x - 5 = 13.50 ⇒ multiply either side by 24,

17x - 120 = 324 ⇒ add 120 to either side,

17x = 444,

<em>Solution; Total amount of $ at the beginning of day ⇒ ( About ) $ 26.1</em>

If _____, use threshold braking any time you need to brake hard.
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The correct option is;

A. You don't have ABS

Step-by-step explanation:

A car braking system works by the friction action the break pad applies on the wheels, when the break is applied with much force, due to hard and sudden breaking of the motion of the vehicle, the break pad stops the rotation of the wheels but the vehicle could however continue skidding due to the high initial momentum

The being skidding vehicle in a situation of kidding increases the likelihood for an accident as the the vehicle can no longer be controlled at the steering either

Threshold braking is the technique of bringing the vehicle to a stop or slowing down in the shortest time possible by applying an optimum breaking force during breaking

Anti-lock Braking System is a safety feature that prevents skidding by keeping the wheels of the vehicle or aircraft from locking when excessive break is applied such that traction maintained between the wheels and the road.

Jay estimates that a basketball weights about .5 pounds. Shawna estimates that a basketball weights about.05. Whose estimate is
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Jay's estimate is closer to the actual weight of the basketball

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard weight of an NBA basketball is 1.4 pounds.

Judging the accuracy of Jay's and Shawna's answer based on their percentage error when compared with the standard, we have that Jay's answer has a lower error as shown below

Error  = (Standard value - Estimated value)/ Standard Value ×100

Error in Jays answer = \frac{1.4 - 0.5}{1.4} × 100 = 64.28 %

Error in Shawna's answer = \frac{1.4 - 0.05}{1.4} × 100 = 96.42%

From this, It is obvious that Jay's answer has a lower percentage error when compared to the actual value.
