Answer:

  49,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The divisor is 4.084. When it is rounded to the nearest whole number, it is 4.

Then the division problem becomes ...

  196,900/4 ≈ 49,000 . . . . . . showing just 2 significant digits for the estimate

__

The point of an estimate is to obtain an approximate answer that is within a few percent of the actual answer. Here, rounding 4.084 to 4.000 gives an error on the order of .084/4 ≈ 2.1%. Because we're using a smaller divisor, the value we obtain for our estimate will be too large by about that amount.

Often, an estimate that has 1 or 2 significant digits is "close enough" for the purpose. Because a change in our estimated value of 1 in the least significant digit is a change of about 2%, we judge this estimate to be "close enough", given the rounding we did to start. Keeping 3 significant digits in our estimate would claim an accuracy that it does not have.

Step-by-step explanation:

How much polka dot paper she need to cover the board is the area of the board . The is a rectangle with length 3.5 ft long and width of 2.5 ft wide .

The area of the board(rectangle) = length × width

Area = LW

where

L= 3.5 ft

W = 2.5 ft

Area = 3.5 × 2.5

For the class of 2013's prom Norman's dress shop sold cheaper dresses for $90 each and more expensive dresses for $140 each. The
Tema [17]

Answer:

Number of cheaper dresses sold  is 35

Number of expensive  dresses sold  is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of cheaper dresses = $90

Cost of  expensive dresses = $140

Total cost of  the dresses = $5250

To Find:

Number of cheaper dress = ?

Number of expensive  dress = ?

Solution:

Let

The number of  cheaper dresses be x

The number of  expensive dresses be y

(Number of cheaper dresses X cost of cheap dress) +  (Number of Expensive dresses X cost of  expensive dress)  =  $5250

x \times90 +y \times 140 = 5250=  $5250

It is given that the 20 more of the cheaper dresses than the expensive dresses is sold

So,

number of cheaper dress  =  20  +  number of expensive dress

x = 20 + y---------------------------------------(1)

(20+y) \times90 +y \times 140 = 5250 = 5250

(20 \times 90 +y\times 90) +y \times 140= 5250

1800 + 90y+ 140y = 5250

1800 + 230y = 5250

230y =5250 -1800

230y = 3450

y = \frac{3450}{230}

y = 15

Substituting y in (1)

x = 20 +15

x= 35
