Answer:

He is likely to be accurate.

Step-by-step explanation:

An estimate is a value that is close to the true or actual value. Usually, a sample from a smaller group is projected into a larger population. To crosscheck the trueness of the estimate, we compare the small sample to the large sample thus;

If 40 employees =  8 applicants for vacation

1200 employees = ? applicants for vacation

Cross multiplying the above gives;

<u>1200 * 8</u>

40

= 9600/40

= 240 applicants for vacation.

The figure 240 is close to the owner's estimate of 250.

Solve the equation for W
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

fourth option

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{2x-1}{y} = \frac{w+2}{2z} ( cross- multiply )

y(w + 2) = 2z(2x - 1) = 4xz - 2z ( divide both sides by y )

w + 2 = \frac{4xz-2z}{y} ( subtract 2 from both sides )

w = \frac{4xz-2z}{y} - 2

Help! It's geometry. :) 35 points.
Masja [62]

Answer:

g = 21

h = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

3g + 5 + 6g - 14 = 180 (since they are adjacent angles and will equal 180)

Simplify to get g = 21.

Substitute 21 for g in 3g + 5 and set that equal to 9h - 4 and solve for h to get 8 (since they are opposite angles and will equal each other)
