Answer:

Absolute error = $25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amount spent by John on shopping trip = $75

Estimated amount to spent on shopping trip = $100

Absolute error = Approximate value - Exact value

Here,

Approximate value = $100

Exact value = $75

Absolute error = 100 - 75

Absolute error = $25

Percentage = $\frac{Absolute\ error}{Exact\ value}*100$

Percentage = $\frac{25}{75}*100$

Percentage = 33.33%

Hence,

Absolute error = $25

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

A car costs$cents when new. It was sold for four fifths of its cost price. How much money was lost on the car.

Let :

Cost price when new = x

Cost price when sold = 4/5 * cost price when new

Cost when sold = 4/5 of x = 4x/5

Amount of money lost on the car = (Cost price of car when new - Cost of car when sold)

Hence,

Amount of money lost on the car = (x - 4x/5)

x - 4x/5 = (5x - 4x) / 5 = x / 5

To obtain the exact price, kindly input the omitted cost when new for x.

Which is greater 1/3 or 3/8

morpeh [17]

1/3 and 3/8
First, you would need to find the lowest common multiple.
It would be 24.
Change both fractions to fractions with a denominator of 24
1/3*8=8/24
3/8*3=9/24
You can see that 9 is greater that 8. Therefore 3/8 is greater.

Allisa [31]

Answer: 2 11/24

Step-by-step explanation:

How many hours does the plane save?

Time taken for the train = 5 1/8

Time taken for the plane = 2 2/3

The number of hours saved will then be:

= 5 1/8 - 2 2/3

Let the lowest common multiple be 24

= 5 3/24 - 2 16/24

= 2 11/24

The number of hours saved by the plane will be 2 11/24

Find the ratio 2 1/2 to 6 1/2

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

The ratio 2 1/2 to 6 1/2 is

$\frac{5}{13}\\or\\5:13$

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio:

In mathematics, a ratio is a relationship between two numbers indicating how many times the first number contains the second.

It is also the Fraction

For example, if a bowl of fruit contains eight apples and six kiwis, then the ratio of apples to kiwis is eight to six.

i.e 8:6, which is equivalent to the ratio 4:3.

Now here,

$2\frac{1}{2}=\frac{4+1}{2}\\\\2\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}\\\\and\\\\6\frac{1}{2}=\frac{12+1}{2}\\\\6\frac{1}{2}=\frac{13}{2}$

Ratio of 2 1/2 to 6 1/2

$\frac{\frac{5}{2}}{\frac{13}{2}} = \frac{5}{13}\ \textrm{The number 2 will be cancelled from Numerator and Denominator} \\\\Hence,\\Final\ Ratio\ is\ 5 :13$

$\frac{5}{13}$
