Hi there!

The correct answer is C) The administrator's calculation is not reasonable because my estimate of 500 is not close to 408. Let's use rounding to find our estimate. 423 is close to 400 and 931 is close to 900. If we subtract 400 from 900, we know that there was approximately 500 adults. Since 408 is not near 500, the administrator's calculation is not reasonable. In fact, they were 100 off from the correct calculation, also making it not reasonable.

Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!

Answer:

The Answer is C.) The administrator's calculation is not reasonable because my estimate of 500 is not close to 408.

Step-by-step explanation:

Round each number to the nearest hundreds.

423 → 400

921 → 900

Estimate = 900 − 400 = 500

Actual number of adult patients = 931 − 423 = 508

The administrator miscalculated the number of adult patients.

THE table shows the number of pages blaine read for different times. How many pages will blaine read in 42 minutes?
Mkey [24]

Answer:

126 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table, we know that Blaine can read 6 pages in 2 minutes. Therefore, Blaine can read \frac{6}{2}=3 pages per minute. Therefore, Blaine can read 42*3=126 pages in 42 minutes. Hope this helps!

Which value, when placed in the box, would result in a system of equations with infinitely many solutions?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

<h2>If we placed the number 10 in the box, we obtain a system of equations with infinitely many solutions.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system is

y=2x-5\\2y-4x=a

<em>It's important to know that a system with infinitely many solutions, it's a system that has the same equation</em>, that is, both equation represent the same line, or as some textbooks say, one line is on the other one, so they have inifinitely common solutions.

Having said that, the first thing we should do here is reorder the system

y=2x-5\\2y=4x+a

This way, you can compare better both equations. If you look closer, observe that the second equation is double, that is, it can be obtained by multiplying a factor of 2 to the first one, that is

y=2x-5\\2y=4x-10

So, by multiplying such factor, we obtaine the second equation. Observe that a must be equal to 10, that way the system would have infinitely solutions.

Therefore, the answer is 10.
