Answer:

\boxed{10.4 \%}

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{Percent error} = \frac{\lvert\text{Predicted - Actual}\lvert}{\text{Actual}} \times 100\%

Data:

Predicted = 275 lb

  Actual = 307 lb

Calculation

\text{Percent error} = \frac{\lvert275 - 307\lvert}{307} \times 100\%\\\\= \frac{\lvert-32\lvert}{307} \times 100\%\\\\= \frac{32}{307} \times 100\%\\

= 0.104 × 100 %

= 10.4 %

The percent error of the zookeeper's prediction was \boxed{10.4 \%}.

The inequality x - y &gt; 0 is satisfied by point (-1, 1).<br><br> T/F
Mekhanik [1.2K]

-2 is not greater than zero, so, the point don't satisfy the inequality  x - y > 0

Hence correct option is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to identify the point (-1,1) satisfies the inequality  x - y > 0

Solving:

The value of x = -1 and y =1

Putting values in the inequality:

x-y>0\\-1-1>0\\-2>0\,\,false

-2 is not greater than zero, so, the point don't satisfy the inequality  x - y > 0

Hence correct option is false.

When Vlad moved to his new home a few years ago, there was a young oak tree in his backyard. He measured it once a year and foun
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The tree was 175 centimeters tall when Vlad moved into the house.

7 years passed from the time Vlad moved in until the tree was 357 centimeters tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the tree, in centimeters, in t years after Vlad moved into the house is given by an equation in the following format:

H(t) = H(0) + at

In which H(0) is the height of the tree when Vlad moved into the house and a is the yearly increase.

He measured it once a year and found that it grew by 26 centimeters each year.

This means that a = 26

So

H(t) = H(0) + 26t

4.5 years after he moved into the house, the tree was 292 centimeters tall. How tall was the tree when Vlad moved into the house?

This means that when t = 4.5, H(t) = 292. We use this to find H(0).

H(t) = H(0) + 26t

292 = H(0) + 26*4.5

H(0) = 292 - 26*4.5

H(0) = 175

The tree was 175 centimeters tall when Vlad moved into the house.

How many years passed from the time Vlad moved in until the tree was 357 centimeters tall?

This is t for which H(t) = 357. So

H(t) = H(0) + 26t

H(t) = 175 + 26t

357 = 175 + 26t

26t = 182

t = \frac{182}{26}

t = 7

7 years passed from the time Vlad moved in until the tree was 357 centimeters tall.

If ABC is reflecting across the y-axis ,what are the coordinates of c’?
Brums [2.3K]
<h3>Answer:   (-6, 3)</h3>

Explanation:

First step is to locate point C. It is at location (6, 3)

Reflecting this over the y axis will change the sign of the x coordinate, while keeping the y coordinate the same. We go from (6, 3) to (-6, 3)

The algebraic rule for this is (x, y) \to (-x,y)

Therefore, point C' is located at (-6, 3)

Joshua has at most 10 dollars a cab company will charge him 4 dollars flat and a rate is 1.25 for each mile driven write and sol
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

4.8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to figure out an equation which will be 10<or equal to 1.25m+4. In this equation m=the number of miles. Knowing this information you can now solve. You want to subtract 4 from both sides leaving you with 6 is less than or equal to 1.25m. You then divide both sides by 1.25 and you are left with 4.8 is less than or equal to m.

Which choice correctly shows rounding to the hundredths place?
Romashka [77]
The correct answer would be the last one.

3.8765+4.824+1.733 > 3.88 +4.82+1.73 

This link is a good visual prompt of where the tenths, hundredths, thousandths, etc are.

Explanation:
Okay we are rounding to the hundredths. When we round a decimal up, we are basically being lazy so we just simplify the number. When we look at a number we are going to round we first need to spot where we are rounding up. In this case it is the hundredths.  Ex. 4.234/ Now the number that we are rounding "needs help from his buddy on his right" If the number on the right is 5 or greater, he is strong enough to help out. But if the number is 4 or lower he is too weak to help out. So lets do an example: Ex. 4.234. We see that 3 is the hundredths and the 3 turns to his buddy on the right and asks if can help. But since his buddy is 4 he can't help out.

Working out the problem:
The first option we are given the answers are in tenths so we can rule that out

The second option we are given the answers are rounded into hundredths so lets round the numbers/  3.825= 3.83, but the answers given (3.82) do not match up.

The third option: The answers are in hundredths so lets round the numbers.. 3.824= 3.82, but the answers given(3.81) do not match up

*Now by process of elimination you would now know that the 4th is the correct answer but lets work it out anyways, plus doing that is a bad habit to get into*

The fourth option: the answers given are in hundredths so let round the numbers.. 3.8765 (tricky since the answer all the way to the right is above 5 it rounds the helping buddy up) like so: 3.877... 3.877= 3.88. This turns out to be the right answer as you round up all of the hundredths places. 

I hope this helps you out and hope you can understand this! Have a GREAT DAY!
