Answer:

0.8 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Ounces are typically used to measure liquid, so I would discourage choosing the top two. And, hopefully you know by now that an orange does not weigh 8 pounds.

Answer:

(a) 0.8 ounces (most precision)

(b) 8 ounces (best precision for likely weight of an orange)

Step-by-step explanation:

The most precision is obtained by using the smallest unit of measure. On this list, the smallest unit of measure is a tenth of an ounce. That is, the measure 0.8 ounces has the most precision.

It is unlikely that the weight of one orange will be 0.8 ounces. The smallest unit used in a measurement likely to correspond to the weight of an orange is 1 ounce, used in the measurement 8 ounces. That measurement has better precision than 0.8 pounds, because 0.1 pounds corresponds to 1.6 ounces.

"Rebecca walks 100 feet in a straight line. She then turns 20 degrees to her left and walks another 100 feet, and then turns 20

iragen [17]

Answer:

1,800 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Rebecca will walk in the pattern of a regular polygon with 'n' sides and internal angles of 160 degrees (180 at a straight line - 20 degrees from each turn).

The equation that describes the internal angle of a regular polygon is:

$A = \frac{(n-2)*180}{n}$

For A = 160 degrees:

$160n=(n-2)*180\\(180-160)n=360\\n=18\ sides$

If each side is 100 ft long, the total distance that Rebecca has walked is:

$d = 18*100\\d=1,800\ ft$

She walked 1,800 ft.
