<span>a) We know that the correct answer will be the square root of 256 since the competition area is a square with an area of 256 meters. And since 10^2 = 100 which is less than 256, the answer has to be greater than 10. And since 20^2 = 400 which is greater than 256, the answer also has to be less than 20. Therefore the answer has to be between 10 and 20. b) The last digit has to be either a 4 or a 6. The units digit is the only digit that will contribute to the units digit of the square. And 0^2 = 0, 1^2 = 1, 2^2 = 4, 3^2 = 9, 4^2 = 16, 5^2 = 25, 6^2 = 36, 7^2 = 49, 8^2 = 64, 9^2 = 81. Of the 10 possible digits, only the values 4 and 6 have a square that has an units digit of 6. c) The square root of 256 based up (a) and (b) above has to be either 14, or 16. So the dimensions are either 14x14 meters or 16x16 meters.</span>

What is the quotient of 15,048 and 76

vitfil [10]

Answer:

If you mean 15,048 ÷ 76, the quotient is 198.

If you mean 76 ÷ 15,048, the answer is 0.00505050505. But I doubt that’s what you mean.

Jay estimates that a basketball weights about .5 pounds. Shawna estimates that a basketball weights about.05. Whose estimate is

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Jay's estimate is closer to the actual weight of the basketball

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard weight of an NBA basketball is 1.4 pounds.

Judging the accuracy of Jay's and Shawna's answer based on their percentage error when compared with the standard, we have that Jay's answer has a lower error as shown below

Error = (Standard value - Estimated value)/ Standard Value ×100

Error in Jays answer = $\frac{1.4 - 0.5}{1.4}$ × 100 = 64.28 %

Error in Shawna's answer = $\frac{1.4 - 0.05}{1.4}$ × 100 = 96.42%

From this, It is obvious that Jay's answer has a lower percentage error when compared to the actual value.
