This question is not even trying to test your arithmetic. It's just testing
to see whether you know how to read numbers in words properly.
When you read numbers in words, the only time you ever say "and"
is for a decimal point. There are no decimals in this question, so the
"and" is not a part of any numbers.
The question gives you two numbers. The word "and" is the marker
that's
BETWEEN them. The two numbers are 1,300 and 950 .
The first thing the question wants you to do is write the numerical
expression for all the words. That's (1300 - 950) / 4 .
The next thing you're supposed to do is"evaluate the expression" ...
find out what number it all boils down to. I don't think you'll have
any trouble with that now.
<span>Last
year, the average math SAT score for students at one school was 475. The
headmaster then introduced a new teaching method hoping to improve scores. This
year, the mean math SAT score for a sample of students was 491. The headmaster
concluded that the new teaching method produces higher SAT scores. The problem
with reporting results this way is voluntary response. The information of how
the teaching method isnot mentioned.</span>
Answer: 19.8 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the Pythagorean Theorem formula to solve for how high the top of the ladder reach.
The formula says a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Where a and b are the two legs and C is the hypotenuse.
In this situation, the hypotenuse will be length of the ladder , and either a or b will be the length of the ladder from the building or the length of how long the ladder.
a will be 3 , and c will be 20. Input in the values into the formula and solve for b.
3^2 + b^2 = 20^2
9 + b^2 = 400
-9 -9
b^2 = 391
b = 
b = 19.77371 round to the nearest tenth is , 19.8
I haven’t met them but they seem like very nice fun people ...
Have you met them? :)
