Answer:

Percent error = -4.02 (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Estimated pool dimension = 15 ft long and 35 ft wide

Actual pool dimension = 14.5 ft long and 34.75 ft wide

Find:

Percent error

Computation:

Area of Estimated pool = 15 x 35

Area of Estimated pool = 525 ft²

Area of Actual pool = 14.5 x 34.75

Area of Actual pool = 508.875 ft²

Percent error = [(Actual - Estimated) / Estimated]100

Percent error = [(508.875 - 525) / 525]100

Percent error = [(-21.125) / 525]100

Percent error = -4.02 (Approx.)

You buy shrimp at the market. The shrimp cost $34.99 for two 2.5-pound bags. What is the unit rate of the shrimp in dollars per
schepotkina [342]
$34.99 ... 2.5-pound bags
$x = ? ... 1 pound

If you would like to know what is the unit rate of the shrimp in dollars per pound, you can calculate this using the following steps:

34.99 * 1 = x * 2.5
34.99 = x * 2.5      /2.5
x = 34.99 / 2.5
x = $13.996 = $14

The correct result would be $14.

A hamster wheel has a diameter of 8.5 in. How many inches does the hamster run in one revolution? Use 3.14 to approximate for π
Ahat [919]

As hamster wheel is circular so for revolution we will find the circumference.

Diameter of the Hamster wheel = 8.5 in

One revolution of the wheel = circumference of the wheel

Circumference = π × d

π = 3.14 and d = 8.5

So, Circumference = 3.14 × 8.5

Circumference = 26.69 in

So in one revolution the hamster wheel travels a distance of 26.69 in

3 The Hawks soccer team played a total of 24 games. They won 6 more games than they lost, and they tied 2 games. How many games
kogti [31]

They won 14 games. If you subtract 2 ( the ties ) you are left with 22. Subtract 6 ( games more won than loss) you get 16. Then divide by two and get 8. 8 + 6 = 14.

The sum of the areas of two circles is 80n square meters. Find the length of a radius of each circle if
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

8 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 2 radii be x and 2x, then
π x^2 + π (2x)^2 = 80π

π x^2 + π 4x^2= 80π

x^2 + 4x^2= 80

5x^2 = 80

x^2 = 16

x = 4.

So the radius of the larger circle = 2*4 = 8 m.
