Answer:
Kelly needs 24 3/4 cups of sugar altogether.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
89,709
Step-by-step explanation:
∡Z= 54°
tan 54 = XY / 361
XY = 361 · tan 54°
XY = 497
A = 1/2 (361) (497)
The question can be written out like this:
36 = 0.009x
Multiply both sides by 1,000:
9x = 36,000
Divide both sides by 9:
x = 4,000
Answer:
- $52
- this estimate is a little low
Explanation:
a) I might choose 6 1/2 hours and $8 per hour, so the estimated earnings would be ...
6(8) +(1/2)(8) = 52 dollars . . . . estimated earnings
These values are purposely chosen so that one is a little high and the other is a little low, hopefully producing a closer estimate than if both numbers were high (as 7 hours, $8, for example).

b) Using 800 instead of 790 means the pay estimate is about 1/80 = 1.25% high.
Using 6 1/2 instead of 6 3/4 means the hours estimate is about 1/27 ≈ 3.7% low.
So, we expect the product of these values to be slightly low, perhaps by about 2.5%.

<em>Comment on estimating</em>
If you can estimate the error in the estimate with some reasonable accuracy, you can use that to adjust the estimate to a pretty close value.
