Answer:
the GPE is 1/2 the unit of measure used to make the measurement or you say 1/2 the most precise unit
12.3 L has 0.1 as the most precise unit of measure, so 1/2 of 0.1 is 0.05 L which is c. above
look at it this way: 12.3 can be any number between 12.25 and 12.34 rounded to the nearest tenth
any number from 12.25 to 12.34 rounded to the nearest tenth gives you 12.3, so the GPE that you can possibly make is 0.05; if the number was 12.24 it would round down to 12.2 not up to 12.3 and if the number was 12.35 it would round up to 12.4 not round down to 12.3, so again the greatest possible error that you can make is 0.05
Answer:
x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 5 + 3.
add the numbers
↓
x + 8
Let the steaks = X and the salmon = y.
Set up two equations:
15x + 18y = 559.81
19x + 9y = 583.66
Now using the elimination method:
Multiply the second equation by -2, then add the equations together.
(15x+18y=559.81)
−2(19x+9y=583.66)
Becomes:
15x+18y=559.81
−38x−18y=−1167.32
Add these equations to eliminate y:
−23x=−607.51
Divide both sides by -23 to solve for x:
x= -607.51 = -23 = 26.413478
Now you have the cost for a steak.
To solve for the cost of the salmon, replace x with the value in the first equation and solve for y.
15(26.413478) + 18y = 559.91
396.202174 + 18y = 559.81
Subtract 396.202174 from both sides:
18y = 163.607826
Divide both sides by 18:
y = 163.607826 / 18
y = 9.089324
Round both x and Y to the nearest cent:
X (Steaks) =$26.41
Y (Salmon) = $9.09
