Answer:
- $52
- this estimate is a little low
Explanation:
a) I might choose 6 1/2 hours and $8 per hour, so the estimated earnings would be ...
6(8) +(1/2)(8) = 52 dollars . . . . estimated earnings
These values are purposely chosen so that one is a little high and the other is a little low, hopefully producing a closer estimate than if both numbers were high (as 7 hours, $8, for example).
__
b) Using 800 instead of 790 means the pay estimate is about 1/80 = 1.25% high.
Using 6 1/2 instead of 6 3/4 means the hours estimate is about 1/27 ≈ 3.7% low.
So, we expect the product of these values to be slightly low, perhaps by about 2.5%.

<em>Comment on estimating</em>
If you can estimate the error in the estimate with some reasonable accuracy, you can use that to adjust the estimate to a pretty close value.
Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
when the points are placed on a graph correctly, you would have to go down 6 and over 6; rise over run would make that -6/6 which is equal to -1
Answer:
10 buses are needed.
9 buses will only be able to take 468 people.
Explanation:
There are 461 + 20 = 481 people altogether needing transport. Each bus can take at most 52 people. The number of buses needed =
482 ÷ 52.
482 ÷ 52 = 9.25 buses. You might be tempted to round down to 9 buses (because of the 2 that follows the decimal) However, if there are 9 buses,
9 × 52 = 468 people can be taken There will still be
13 people to be transported. This is an example of where you need to round UP to the next whole number.
10 buses are needed. In reality it means that not all the buses will be full, but 10 buses are needed to ensure that everyone gets a ride to the museum.
I can’t see it..
Sorry!
