The depth of a lake is 15.8m

Leya [2.2K]

a. Jada got the measurement 16m.

b. The measured depth differ 0.2m from the actual depth.

c. There is a 12.66% error in calculation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The depth of lake = 15.8 m

a. Jada accurately measured the depth of the lake to the nearest meter. What measurement did Jada get

When a digit after the decimal point is 5 or more than that, the number before decimal is rounded to the next number.

Therefore,

15.8 rounded to nearest number is 16.

The depth of lake measured by Jada = 16 m

Jada got the measurement 16m.

b. By how many meters does the measured depth differ from the actual depth?

Difference = Approx - Exact

Difference = 16 - 15.8 = 0.2m

The measured depth differ 0.2m from the actual depth.

c. Express the measurement error ad a percentage of the actual depth.

Percent error = $\frac{|approx-exact|}{exact}*100$

Percent error = $\frac{|2|}{15.8}*100 = \frac{200}{15.8}$

Percent error = 12.66%

There is a 12.66% error in calculation.

30 pts AWNSER ASAP In 2 hours, Nolan can bake 5 1/2 dozen cookies. What is his unit rate in dozen cookies per hour?

seraphim [82]

Answer:

2 3/4 dozen cookies per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

To find his unit rate per hour, divide 5 1/2 by 2:

5.5/2

= 2.75 or 2 3/4 dozen cookies

So, his unit rate in dozen cookies per hour is 2 3/4

Short side length = x

Medium side = x + 7

Long side = 5x

Total 49, so

x + x + 7 + 5x = 49

If you combine like terms:

7x + 7 = 49

Subtract 7 from both sides

7x = 42

Divide both sides by 7

x = 6 inches.
