Answer: 3=24/8 24/8 - 1/8 = 23/8 or 2 7/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Exchange 3 into 24/8 which is still 3 but in 8th’s. Then subtract 1/8 from 24/8 which is 23/8 or 2 7/8
1. Eyeballing the data, the best fit will be pretty close to a line between the leftmost point and the rightmost point.
We estimate those points as (4,220) and (28,470)
The point point form for a line joining (a,b) and (c,d) is
(c-a)(y-b) = (d-b)(x-a)
(28 - 4)(y - 220) = (470 - 220)(x - 4)
24(y - 220) = 250(x-4)
24y - 5280 = 250x - 1000
24y = 250 x + 4280
y = (250/24) x+ (4280/24)
Approximately that's,
y = 10.4 x + 178
Answer: 4th choice, 10.4x + 180
2. For 48 wheelbarrows,
y = 10.4(48)+180 = 679.2
Answer: 679.2 liters of sand
70 x 100 = 7,000
Therefore, 70 hundred is equal to 7 thousands.
We can round 5.65 up to 6 and 3.4 down to 3.
3 * 6 = 18
now let's see how close our estimate is to the real answer
5.65 * 3.4 = 19.21
Our answer was pretty close to the real answer!
Hope I helped!
