A measurement of 0.6 grams means that the 'true' answer lies between
<span>0.55 and 0.65 </span>

In general, the uncertainty in a single measurement from a single instrument is half the least precise decimal given for the instrument.
The precision for this measurement is in the tenths place.
so we take 0.1 /2 = 0.05, and divide by the measurement

<span>0.05 / 0.6 = 0.08333 = 8.3 %</span>

If x varies directly with y and x=6 when y=8, find x when y=18.
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

x = 13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

direct variation

y = kx

substitute x and y to find k

8 = k*6

divide by 6

8/6 =k

4/3 = k

y = 4/3 x

now put in y =18

18 = 4/3 x

 multiply by 3/4

18 * 3/4 = 3/4 * 4/3 x

54/4 = x

change to a decimal

13.5 =x

Write the equations for the line parallel and the line perpendicular to the given line passing through the given point.
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

10. y=2x+1                                              y = -1/2x +1

11. y=-1/3x +6                                          y = 3x -4

12. y=-5x-18                                            y=1/5x + 14/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation of a line we must have a slope and a point. To find the slope, we use the slope from the equations for parallel lines and modify it for perpendicular lines.

10. Use the point-slope form to write the equation, then simplify and convert into the slope intercept form.   The slope here is 2. The parallel slope is 2 and the perpendicular slope is the negative reciprocal or -1/2.

Parallel                                           Perpendicular

(y-1)=2(x-0)                                       (y-1)==-1/2(x-0)          

y-1=2x                                              y-1 = -1/2 x

y=2x+1                                              y = -1/2x +1

11. Use the point-slope form to write the equation, then simplify and convert into the slope intercept form.   The slope here is -1/3. The parallel slope is -1/3 and the perpendicular slope is the negative reciprocal or 3.

Parallel                                           Perpendicular

(y-5)=-1/3(x-3)                                        (y-5)=3(x-3)          

y-5=-1/3x+1                                            y-5 = 3x - 9

y=-1/3x +6                                              y = 3x -4

12. Use the point-slope form to write the equation, then simplify and convert into the slope intercept form.   The slope here is -5. The parallel slope is -5 and the perpendicular slope is the negative reciprocal or 1/5.

Parallel                                           Perpendicular

(y-2)=-5(x--4)                                           (y-2)=1/5(x--4)          

y-2=-5(x+4)                                              y-2 = 1/5(x +4)

y-2=-5x -20                                              y-2 = 1/5x +4/5

y=-5x-18                                                    y=1/5x + 14/5

What is a number written to the thousandths place that would relate to 417.91 using the = symbol?​
baherus [9]

Answer:

0.41791

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number written to the thousandth place then,

x times thousands = 417.91

or, x = 417.91/1000

therefore, x = 0.41791

and so

0.41791 thousand = 417.91

The sum of three times a first number and twice a second number is 14. If the second number is subtracted from twice the first n
Yanka [14]
Answer: 4, 1

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Let the First Number be ‘x’
Let the Second Number be ‘y’

Framing 2 Equations :-

=> 3x + 2y = 14 (Eq. 1)
=> 2x - y = 7 (Eq. 2)

Multiplying Eq. 2 by 2 :-

=> 4x - 2y = 14 (Eq. 3)

Adding Eq. 1 and Eq. 3 we get :-

7x = 14 + 14
7x = 28
x = 28/7
=> x = 4

Therefore, x = 4

Substitute value of ‘x’ in Eq. 1 :-

3x + 2y = 14
3(4) + 2y = 14
12 + 2y = 14
2y = 14 - 12
2y = 2
y = 2/2
=> y = 1

Therefore, y = 1

Hence,
First Number = 4
Second Number = 1

zahra earns $80 each day plus a 6% commission on her sale at an appliance store. on friday zahra has $900in sales.how much does
goldenfox [79]
<h3>Zara earned $ 134 on friday including commission</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

zahra earns $80 each day plus a 6% commission on her sale at an appliance store

zahra has $900 in sales

<em><u>Find the commission amount</u></em>

commission amount = 6 % of 900

commission\ amount = \frac{6}{100} \times 900\\\\commission\ amount = 54

Zara earnings including commission amount = 80 + 54 = 134

Thus Zara earned $ 134 on friday including commission
