MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

24 inches represents 9 miles in the map

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you take into account that 8 inches represents 3 miles and that x represent the number of inches for 9 miles. That is:

8 ------- 3

x ------- 9

This is simply a rule of three, then you calculate:

$x=\frac{8\ x\ 9}{3}=\frac{72}{3}=24$

Hence, 24 inches represents 9 miles in the map

<h3>Answer:</h3>

The Slope is $2$

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Notice that both the points, $(60,0)$ and $(70,20)$ , are on the line. So we can use those points to calculate the slope. Recall that that slope of the line $m$ can be calculated by $\frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}\\$ if we have the points, $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ .

<h3>Calculating for the slope of the line:</h3>

Given:

$(60,0)$

$(70,20)$

$m = \frac{20 -0}{70 -60} \\ m = \frac{20}{10} \\ m = 2$

The local genealogical society in Coles County, Illinois, has compiled records on all 55,914 gravestones in cemeteries in the co

krok68 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 ways to proceed further.

Option A is with using the random number table.

Let us assume that each gravestone has a unique number between 1 and 55914.
Choose a row at random from the table.
Take the first number consisting of 5 digits, if the number corresponds with a number between 1 and 55914, then select the corresponding plot, otherwise move on to the next 5 digit-number.

Repeat until 395 gravestones have been selected.

Option B is with using any calculator with capability of generating random integer. Here for example consider any TI series programmable calculator.

Enter the following command into your calculator:

randInt(1,55914,395)

The first and second number are the lower and upper limits between which the values have to lie.
The third number is the number of required selections.

Which calculation could not be used to find the percentage change

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Option (B).

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage change between two numbers a and b can be calculated by the formula,

% change = $\frac{|b-a|}{a}\times 100$

Where, (b - a) = Change in values

a = Initial value

If a = 16 and b = 20

Percentage change between 16 and 20 will be,

= $(\frac{20-16}{16})\times 100$

= $\frac{4}{16}\times 100$

= 25%

If a = 20 and b = 16,

Percentage change = $\frac{|16-20|}{20}\times 100$

= 20%

Therefore, %change between 16 and 24 may be 16% or 20%.

Option (A),

$\frac{20-16}{16}\times 100$ = 25%

Option (B),

$\frac{20}{16}-1\times 100$ = 1.25 - 1 × 100

= 1.25 - 100

= -98.75%

Option (C),

$100\times \frac{1}{4}$ = 25%

Option (D),

$\frac{(20-16)}{20}\times 100$ = 20%

Therefore, we can not use the calculation used in Option (B).
