Answer:

Error = 1.167 feet

Percentage error = 0.3242%

Step-by-step explanation:

The original length of the soccer field = 120 yards long

Converting to feet

1 yard = 3 feet

120 yards = x

Cross Multiply

x = 120 × 3 feet

x = 360 feet

Measured length:

Han measures the length of the field using a 30-foot-long tape measure and gets a measurement of 358 feet, 10 inches.

We convert 10 inches to feet

1 inch = 0.0833 feet

10 inches = x feet

Cross Multiply

x = 10 × 0.0833 feet

x = 0.833 feet

The measured length = 358 feet + 0.833 feet

= 358.833 feet

The Error is calculated as:

|Measured length - Original Length)

= 360 feet - 358.833 feet

= 1.167 feet

Percentage Error

= Error/Original Length × 100

= 1.167/360 × 100

= 0.3241666667%

Approximately = 0.3242%

A boat going upstream on The River averages 4 mph. Going downstream, the boat averages 9 mph. Find the speed of the current and
makkiz [27]

Answer: The speed of the boat in still water is 6.5 mph.

The speed of the current is 2.5 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the boat in still water.

Let y represent the speed of the current.

A boat going upstream on The River averages 4 mph. Assuming it travelled against the current while going upstream, its total speed would be (x - y) mph. It means that

x - y = 4- - - - - - - - - - - -1

Going downstream, the boat averages 9 mph. Assuming it travelled with the current while going upstream, its total speed would be (x + y) mph. It means that

x + y = 9- - - - - - - - - - - -2

Adding both equations, it becomes

2x = 13

x = 13/2

x = 6.5 mph

Substituting x = 6.5 into equation 1, it becomes

6.5 - y = 4

y = 6.5 - 4

y = 2.5 mph

The function f(x) is defined below. What is the end behavior of f(x)?
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the term 7x^3 is to the third power, the curve moves like x^3. This means that as x approaches infinity and -infinity, it approaches infinity and -infinity respectively. The answer is D.

For a sample of n = 30 scores, X = 45 corresponds to z = 1.50 and X = 40 corresponds to z = +1.00. What are the values for the s
Ber [7]

Answer:

Sample mean = 30

Standard deviation = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

A system with two linear equations can be modeled with the information given in order to find the sample mean (M) and the standard deviation (s):

z=\frac{X-M}{s}\\\\1.50=\frac{45-M}{s} \\1.00=\frac{40-M}{s}

Solving the linear system:

40-M = \frac{45-M}{1.5}\\M=\frac{15}{0.5}\\M=30\\\\s=\frac{45-30}{1.5}\\s=10

The sample mean is 30 while the standard deviation is 10.

The reciprocal of 5 and 4/9
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

1/5 and 9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Reciprocal is basically the vertically flipped version of the original number. To find the reciprocal, rewrite the numbers in fractions and then swap the numerator and the denominator. So 5/1 becomes 1/5, 4/9 becomes 9/4.
