Henry's Butcher Shop uses an electronic scale that measures to 1/100 of a pound. Which is the most accurate measurement based on

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

B) 3.16 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Accuracy is how close a measured value is to the actual or true value. The balance is accurate to the nearest 1/100 pound; thus, the highest level of accuracy appropriate to the limitations of the balance.

Which expression is equivalent to ( 4mn / m^-2n^6)^-2

inn [45]

Here are a few rules with exponents that apply here:

Raising a power to a power: $(x^m)^n=x^{m*n}$
Dividing exponents of the same base: $\frac{x^m}{x^n}=x^{m-n}$
Converting negative exponents to positive ones: $x^{-m}=\frac{1}{x^m}\ \textsf{and}\ \frac{1}{x^{-m}}=x^m$

Firstly, solve the outer exponent:

$(\frac{4mn}{m^{-2}n^{6}})^{-2}=\frac{4^{-2}m^{-2}n^{-2}}{m^{-2*-2}n^{6*-2}}=\frac{4^{-2}m^{-2}n^{-2}}{m^4n^{-12}}$

Next, divide:

$\frac{4^{-2}m^{-2}n^{-2}}{m^4n^{-12}}=4^{-2}m^{-2-4}n^{-2-(-12)}=4^{-2}m^{-6}n^{10}$

Next, convert the negative exponents:

$4^{-2}m^{-6}n^{10}=\frac{n^{10}}{4^2m^6}=\frac{n^{10}}{16m^6}$

Your final answer is n^10/16m^6 , or B.

John paid $222 for four hours of skiing and two hours boating. He paid $213 for two hours skiing and three hours boating. What i

Inga [223]

Answer:

Skiing costs $30 per hour and Boating costs $51 per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cost per hour of skiing be x and cost per hour of boating be y. Let's dissect the problem into 2 simultaneous equations.

"John paid $222 for four hours of skiing and two hours boating":

$4x+2y=222$

"He paid $213 for two hours skiing and three hours boating":

$2x+3y=213$

Now, if we solve for x in the 2nd equation and plug it in the 1st equation, we will have the value for y. Work shown below.

$2x+3y=213\\2x=213-3y\\x=\frac{213-3y}{2}\\Equation 1: 4x+2y=222\\Substituting :\\4(\frac{213-3y}{2})+2y=222\\2(213-3y)+2y=222\\426-6y+2y=222\\426-222=6y-2y\\204=4y\\y=\frac{204}{4}=51$

Hence, y = 51

Now, substituting this y value into the 1st equation and solving for x will give us the value of x.

$First Equation: 4x+2y=222\\4x+2(51)=222\\4x+102=222\\4x=222-102\\4x=120\\x=\frac{120}{4}=30$

Hence, skiing costs $30 per hour and boating costs $51 per hour.

What is the slope of the line shown below?

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the coordinates of the given points to find the slope.

difference in y-coordinates = -3 - 6 = -9

difference in x-coordinates = 2 - (-1) = 3

slope = -9/3 = -3

Find the measure of angle K.

atroni [7]

Answer:

m∠K = 97°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the measures of the angles of a quadrilateral is 360

127 + 5x + 3 + 10x + 7 + 88 = 360

15x + 225 = 360

15x = 135

x = 9

m∠K = 10x + 7 = 10(9) + 7 = 90 + 7 = 97°
