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.

If the area of a rectangle is 144 sq. in. and the length of one side is 18in. what is the length of the other side?
navik [9.2K]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:  The other side has a length of 8

Discussion:

Area of a rectangle = l * w ( length times width). In our case

Area = 144 = l * w = 18 * w =>

18 w = 144  =>

w = 144/18 = 8


Thank you,
