Answer:

The percent of error in her measurement is 1.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The circumference of a circle is equal to

C=\pi D

where

D is the diameter

we have

D=5\ in

assume

\pi=3.14

substitute

C=(3.14)(5)=15.7\ in ----> This value represent the 100% (theoretical value)

Find the difference between the theoretical value and the measured value

15.7-15.5=0.2\ in

Find the percentage by proportion

15.7/100=0.2/x\\ x=100*0.2/15.7\\ x=1.3\%

choose the equation that shows a step in the process of completing the square on the given quadratic. y = x2 8x – 3 y = x2 8x 8
posledela
Y = x^2 + 8x - 3
y = x^2 + 8x + (8/2)^2 - 3 - (8/2)^2
y = x^2 + 8x + 16 - 3 - 16

A bag contains 20 marbles: 12 red, 4 blue, 3 yellow, and 1 green. Arielle takes out 2 marbles. What is the probability that they
Marysya12 [62]

Total number of marbles in the bag =20

Number of blue marbles =4

Now we just want two blue marbles out of four.

Probability of taking out first marble which is blue =4/20

Now after we took out one blue marble , number of blue marbles left are 3.

Probability of taking out second marble which is blue =3/20

Total probability = 4/20 *3/20 = 12/400

So probability of taking out two blue marbles is 0.03 or 12/400.

Haruka hiked several kilometers in the morning. She hiked only 666 kilometers in the afternoon, which was 25\%25%25, percent les
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

She hiked 1,554 kilometers in all.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the hiking kilometers for morning be x

Given that:

Hiking kilometers in afternoon = 666

According to given condition that afternoon kilometers are 25% less than morning:

x = 666 + 25% of x

By simplifying:

x = 666 + 0.25x

x - 0.25x = 666

0.75x = 666

Dividing both sides by 0.75 we get:

x = 666/0.75

x = 888 kilometers

She hiked 888 kilometers in morning

And

Total = 888 + 666 =1554 km

i hope it will help you!
