Clare estimates that her brother is 4 feet tall. When they get measured at the doctor’s office, her brother’s height is 4 feet,

2 inches.
1. Should Clare's or the doctor's measurement be considered the actual height? Explain your reasoning.


2. What was the error, expressed in inches? (Hint: 12 inches = 1 foot, so 12 is the unit rate to multiply the number of feet by)
Amount of Error = difference between Actual and estimated guess

3. What was the error, expressed as a percentage of the actual height?

Percent Error = Amount of Error x 100

Answer:

  • 1. Yes
  • 2. 2 inches
  • 3. 4%

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Estimated height is 4 feet
  • Measured height is 4 feet 2 inches

1. The measurement is actual and should be considered as such. Estimate is approximate most of the time.

2. <u>The error is:</u>

  • 4 feet 2 inches - 4 feet = 2 inches

3. <u>Percent error:</u>

  • 2 inches/4 feet 2 inches × 100% =
  • 2 inches / 50 inches × 100% =
  • 0.04× 100% =
  • 4%

After solving an equation, you end up with integers on both sides of the equation. What can you interpret about the equation are
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The equation is:

An identity

Has infinitely many solutions

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Because there is integers on both sides, we know that any attempts to fix this will either cause an identity, or a false numerical equation(an identity but <em>w r o n g</em>).(Note, an identity can either mean 2 = 2 or x = x).

Identities have infinite solutions, because it does not matter what you put in, the equation will always be true. False equations do not have a solution because they aren't even true equations.

Hope this helps!

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

a) $13588.08

b) $688.08

Step-by-step explanation:

Melissa had to purchase $12,900 worth of machinery for her business.

She made a down payment of $2100 and after that made monthly payments of $478.67 for the business loan for the rest.

Given that after years of paying monthly payments of $478.67, she finally paid off the loan.

Assume that she took 2 years to repay the loan.

a) Therefore, the total amount Melissa ended up paying for the machinery was $[2100 + (478.67 × 24)] = $13588.08 (Answer)

b) Therefore, the amount of interest that Melissa pay on the loan is $(13588.08 - 12900) =$688.08. (Answer)
