Shen’s mother gave him $10 to go buy groceries. He picked up a gallon of milk for $3.49, three pounds of oranges that cost $1.14

per pound, and a box of cereal for $3.46. Shen used front-end estimation to determine whether he had enough money for the groceries. How much did he estimate the total cost would be?
He estimated that he had about $7 worth of groceries.
He estimated that he had about $9 worth of groceries.
He estimated that he had about $10.30 worth of groceries.
He estimated that he had about $10.40 worth of groceries.

Answer:

He estimated there were about $10.40 worth of groceries

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to round the prices up to the nearest tenth and then add them all.

3.50

3.50

1.15

1.15

1.15

___

10.45

So 10.45 is closest to 10.40 and you have to remeber that this is just an estimate so it will be less because we rounded the answer up.

Hope this helps

Answer:

$9 its be heres my work

Step-by-step explanation:

Gallon of milk: $3.49

3lbs oranges: $1.14(3) = $3.42

Box of cereal: $3.46

Front end estimation is taking the number in front and the rest of the numbers coming after it will be zeroes.

Using front end estimation:

$3.49 => $3.00

$3.42 => $3.00

$3.46 => $3.00

Add all these up; Shen estimated the total cost of the groceries would be $9.00.

Write an equation of the line that passes through the given point and is perpendicular to the graph of the given equation. Pleas
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{3}x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to figure out the equation of a line you must find the slope then plug in the coordinates.

In order to find the slope of the equation, you know that it is perpendicular to the equation y = -3x + 7.

Perpendicular slopes are basically reciprocals with opposite signs; you flip the number and give it the opposite symbol.

For example, the perpendicular slope of 2 would -1/2, because flipping the fraction 2/1 is 1/2 and the opposite sign of + would be -.

Therefore, the perpendicular slope of -3 would be 1/3, be 3/1 flipped upside down is 1/3 and the opposite sign of - is +.

Then you plug in the slope into the equation of a line along with the coordinate.

A line is y = mx + b

Since you found the slope, m = 1/3

They also give you the coordinate (3,5), meaning when x = 3, the y =5.

You plug everything into the equation to solve for b:

5 = (1/3)(3) + b

b = 5 - (1/3 * 3) = 5 - 1 = 4

Since you have values for m and b, the equation can now be constructed as

y = 1/3x + 4
