Answer: -7.408%
Explanation: The formula for percent error is:
(experimental - theoretical) / theoretical * 100. The experimental value is 50, or your guess. The theoretical value is 54, or the actual value. The theoretical value is the value it should be.
(50-54)/54 = -.074 * 100 = -7.408%
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
We have then:
x: number of minutes
y: total cost
We write the algebraic expression that models the problem.
We have then:
Simplifying we have:
Then, by the time the cost is equal to $ 300 we have:
From here, we clear the value of x.
Answer:
an algebraic expression for the problem is:
Answer:
180 square yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Total surface = 102.4 cm^2 (second answer in the list of options)
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that we need to add the surface of 4 rectangles, two have smaller sizes than the other two. A pair of rectangles are 7.2 cm x 4 cm = 28.8 cm^2, while the other pair has 7.2 cm x 2 cm = 14.4 cm^2
There are also two equal bases each one of size 4 cm x 2 cm = 8 cm^2
Now we add two of each of the individual surfaces discussed above to complete the total surface area:
2 * 28.8 + 2 * 14.4 + 2 * 8 = 102.4 cm^2
which agrees with the second answer option provided.
