Sandy is incorrect. Absolute value marks serve the same purpose as parenthesis. So to solve the equation correctly, you would find the answer to x-6. Absolute value is the distance from zero, so the answer is 5. For example, if the answer was -5 then the answer would still be 5 because it is 5 units away from zero.

How can estimating the quotient help you check that your answer to a division problem is reasonable?​
neonofarm [45]

Explanation:

If your actual answer is very far from your estimate, you probably made a mistake somewhere.

<em>Additional comment</em>

50 years ago, when a slide rule was the only available calculation tool, making an estimate of the result was a required part of doing the calculation. Not only were the first one or two significant digits needed, but also the power of 10 that multiplied them. Use of a slide rule required the order of magnitude be computed separately (by hand) from the significant digits of the result.

You may also find it useful to estimate the error in your estimate. That is, you may want to know the approximate answer to 2 (or more) significant digits in order to gain confidence that your calculation is correct.

Tom [10]

Answer:

2,648.448 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The cargo box of a truck is a rectangular prism. The volume of a rectangular prism is l*w*h.

If the length is 39.6 ft, the width is 7.6 ft and the height is 8.8 ft then the volume is (39.6)(7.6)(8.8) = 2,648.448 cubic feet

Four people can mow a lawn in 6 hours. How many more people will be needed to mow the lawn in 4 hours, assuming each person mows
ratelena [41]

Answer:

Two more people.

Step-by-step explanation:

If 4 people can mow a lawn in 6 hours, then 4 people can mow 1/6 of a lawn in 1 hour.

If 4 people can mow 1/6 of a lawn in 1 hour, then 1 person can mow 1/24 of a lawn in 1 hour.

If 1 person can mow 1/24 of a lawn in 1 hour, then 6 people can mow 1/4 of a lawn in 1 hour.

If 6 people can mow 1/4 of a lawn in 1 hour, then 6 people can mow a lawn in 4 hours.

6 people minus 4 people is 2 people.
