Answer: D. She is above 11.5% of test takers

Step-by-step explanation:

So logically we can eliminate like 3 answers and let me explain why

So first we can eliminate both A and B because the question asks "Does this score place Sheila in the bottom 10% of test takers?" If the answer were<u> yes </u>she wouldn't be "above 8.5%" or "above 11.5%" because she would be below.

So that would leave both C and D right. Lets look at C first. It says "No, she is above 8.5% of test takers" But if she is above 8.5% she could hypothetically be in the 9% or the 9.5% of test takers. Since this answer doesn't gurantee she would be above 10% we can't choose it. Now D it says "No, she is above 11.5% of test takers" This is correct because She is not in the bottom 10% because according to the empirical rule she is I would say around or just under 16% of test takers. Also the 11.5% part gurantees that anything above the number 11.5 is greater than 10%. Unlike in C which only says the number is greater than 8.5 which means the number could be 8.6 which is NOT greater than 10.

A baker uses 2.327 kilograms of blueberries for muffins. There are four packages at the fruit market. Which amount is closest to
irinina [24]

Answer:

2.33 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

If the baker needs to use 2.327 kilograms of blueberries, we are going to subtract the amount of the packages to the amount he needs and we'll see which is the smallest number.

In the case of 2.3, 2.327 - 2.3 = .027

In the case of 2.42, 2.327 - 2.42 = -0.09

In the case of 2.33, 2.327 - 2.33 = -0.003

In the case of 2.4, 2.327 - 2.4 = -0.07

Therefore, the closest amount to 2.327 is the 2.33 package.

Solve the two-step equation. − 2 3 x – 21 4 = 27 4
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to assume that the problem is -23x -214 = 274

And in that case...

1. First isolate the x-value by adding 214 to both sides of the equation:

-23x = 488

2. Then, divide both sides by -23 to truly get x alone:

x = -\frac{488}{23} or -21.22
