List two real-world scenarios in which you would multiply a decimal by a decimal.

5 0

It's obvious that every normal person has ten fingers. Since we have ten fingers, our numbering is based on multiples of ten which is called decimal. Can you imagine how life would be different if all human beings were born with eight fingers instead of ten? Maybe our numbering system would be based on multiples of eight. A numbering system based upon eight exists and is called octal. Octal numbering is used behind the scenes in computer systems.

Polygon D is a scaled copy of polygon C using a scale factors of 6

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer: The area of the Polygon D is 36 times larger than the area of the Polygon C.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The complete exercise is: "Polygon D is a scaled copy of Polygon C using a scale factor of 6. How many times larger is the area of Polygon D than the area Polygon C"?</h3>

In order to solve this problem it is important to analize the information provided in the exercise.

You know that the Polygon D was obtained by multiplying the lengths of the Polygon C by the scale factor of 6.

Then, you can identify that the Length scale factor used is:

$Length\ scale\ factor=k=6$

Now you have to find the Area scale factor.

Knowing that the Length scale factos is 6, you can say that the Area scale factor is:

$Area \ scale\ factor=k^2=6^2$

Finally, evaluating, you get that this is:

$Area \ scale\ factor=36$

Therefore, knowing the Area scale factor, you can determine that the area of the Polygon D is 36 times larger than the area of the Polygon C.

If a data value in a normal distribution has a negative z-score, which of the following must be true?

mel-nik [20]

Correct Answer:
The data value must be less than the mean.

The formula for the z value is:

z-value = (Data value - Mean) / Standard Deviation

The z-value will be negative when the Numerator of the above expression will be negative. The numerator will be negative only when the Data Value is less than the mean value. For example, for a data value of 5 and mean value 8, the numerator will be -3, and when it will be divided by standard deviation, the resulting z value will be negative.

So, Third option is the correct answer.
