Answer:

1/4 of a yard of material

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we must convert both 12 1/4 yards and 8 1/2 yards to quarters. Since 1/2 of a yard is equal to 2/4 of a yard, 8 1/2 yards will be equal to 8 2/4 yards. 8 yards + 12 yards = 20 yards, and 2/4 of a yard + 1/4 of a yard = 3/4 of a yard, so you get 20 3/4 of a yard to finish the draperies. To find the leftover material, do 21 yards - 20 3/4 yards = 1/4 of a yard of material. Hope this helps!

Are the graphs of the lines in the pair parallel?<br> Y=6x + 9<br> 27x - 3y= -81
kifflom [539]
No, the graphs of the lines are not parallel because if you simplify 27x-3y=-81, you get y=9x+27, and in order to have the lines parallel, both equations must have the same "m" in y=mx+b. 6 and 9 do not equal, so no they are not parallel.

The reading on a car speedometer has 1.6% maximum error the speed limit on the road is 65 miles per hour
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

For A) it is possible that the speed  the cat is going over the speed limit

For B) The statement is false as if the error is negative, the speed of the car will be less than the speed limit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Maximum error  on a car speedometer = 1.6% = 0.016

Maximum Speed limit on the road = 65 miles per hour

Now,

The error will be ± 1.6%

Now,

When the speedometer reads 64 miles per hour

The possible speed of the car can be

64 miles per hour + Error

= 64 + [0.016 × 64]

= 64 + 1.024

= 65.024 miles per hour

or

The speed can be

64 miles per hour - Error

= 64 - [0.016 × 64]

= 64 - 1.024

= 62.976 miles per hour

Hence,

For A) it is possible that the speed  the cat is going over the speed limit

For B) The statement is false as if the error is negative, the speed of the car will be less than the speed limit.
