Wilma estimates that she'll drive about 18,000 miles during the year. The car she wants to purchase gets an
average of 24
miles per gallon, and the average cost per gallon of gas in her neighborhood is $2.72. Locate the error in her calculations,
and select the correction.
Step 1
18,000 miles/year
18.000 miles = 1,500 miles/month
12 months
Step 2
1.500 miles/month
125 gallons/month
12 miles/gallon
Step 3
(125 gallons/month) x ($2.72/gallons) = $340 cost/month

Answers

Answer 1

Given parameters:

Distance in a year = 18000miles

Car mileage = 24miles/gallon

Average cost per gallon = $2.72 per gallon

Problem;

Find the error in her calculation;

 

Step 1

18,000 miles/year    

18, 000 miles = 1,500 miles/month     -- Since there are 12months in a year

12 months

Step 2

1500 miles/month

      Car mileage  = 24miles/gallon

Gallons per month; [tex]\frac{1500}{24}[/tex]   = 62.5gallons/month

125 gallons/month   this is an error and should be 62.5gallons/month

12 miles/gallon  should be 24miles per gallon

Step 3

(125 gallons/month) x ($2.72/gallons) = $340 cost/month

Correct

Step 2 is wrong because it uses wrong values.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Wilma made a mistake is step 2. Instead of dividing by 12, she should have divided by 24. She should budget $170 per month for fuel expenses.

The area of B is 8 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram, we can tell that the scale factor is 2 because the length of A is 6 cm and the length of B is 12 cm so the scale factor is 2. Since diagram A's area is 4 cm², all we need to do is multiply the diagram A's area by 2. That gives diagram B's area which is 8 cm²

Katy is between Houston and San Antonio. If the distance from Katy to San Antonio is 2 x x  5 miles and the distance from Katy to Houston is 4 12 x  miles. The total distance from Houston to San Antonio is 120 miles . Then How far is it between each City?

Answers

Answer:

It is hard to read what you actually wrote, but i guess this is:

Distance to San Antonio = 2*5*x mi

Distance to Houston = 4*12*x mi

Distance from Houston to San Antonio = 120mi

Then we must have that:

2*5*x mi + 4*12*x mi = 120mi

(2*5 + 4*12)*x mi = 120mi

(10 + 48)*x mi = 120mi

x mi =120/58 mi = 2.06 mi

Now we can replace it in the above equations:

Distance to San Antonio = 2*5*2.06 mi = 20.6 mi

Distance to Houston = 4*12*2.06 mi =  98.88 mi

In response to a gss question in 2006 about the number of hours spent per day watching television, the responses by the fifteen subjects who identified themselves as Buddhist were 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, and 5. For these fifteen subjects, the mean number of hours spent per day watching television is 1.93 hours. What is the standard error of this mean estimate?

Answers

Answer:

Standard error = 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

We find the Standard Deviation

The formula = √(x - mean)/n - 1

n = 15

Mean = 1.93 hours

= √(0- 1.93)² + (0-1.93)² +(0- 1.93)²+( 0- 1.93)²+ (1- 1.93)² + (1- 1.93)² +(1 - 1.93)² +(2 - 1.93)² + (2 - 1.93)² + (2 - 1.93)² + (2 - 1.93)² + ( 2 - 1.93)² +(4 - 1.93)² +(4 - 1.93)² + (5 - 1.93)²/15 - 1

= √(3.737777776 + 3.737777776 + 3.737777776 + 0.871111111 +0.871111111 + 0.871111111 + 0.004444444445+ 0.004444444445 + 0.004444444445 + 0.004444444445 + 0.004444444445 + 1.137777778 + 4.271111112 + 4.271111112 + 9.404444446)/15 - 1

= √2.352380952

= 1.533747356

Step 2

We find the standard error

The formula = Standard Deviation/√n

Standard deviation = 1.533747356

n = 15

= 1.533747356/√15

= 1.533747356 /3.87298334621

= 0.39601186447

Approximately = 0.4

Therefore, the standard error is 0.4

1. The line through A and B has a slope = _____ and y-intercept = _____

2. Write an equation for this line. ________​

Answers

Answer:

1. slope= 1/2; y intercept=3

2. y= 1/2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is equal to the y value of b minus the y value of a OVER the x value of b minus the x value of b. This simplifies to 1/2.

If the slope is 1/2, you can see that for every 1 that the line rises, its x value increases by 2. Since you know the when the x value is 2, the y value is 4, decreasing the x value by 2 (making it 0) would make the y value 3.

Gi dont understand how to find Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation? y=8x+3

Answers

Answer:

(1, 11 ) is a solution

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain a solution, choose any value of x, substitute into the equation and evaluate for y, that is

choose x = 1, then

y = 8(1) + 3 = 8 + 3 = 11

Thus (1, 11 ) is a solution

choose x = - 2 , then

y = 8(- 2) + 3 = - 16 + 3 = - 13

Thus (- 2, - 13 ) is also a solution

Lets go over the solutions.

Let's start with (1, 11). After substituting x = 1 and y = 11, it results in the equation 11 = 11, which is a true statement. Hence, this is one solution.

Now, let's look at (-1 -5). After substituting x = -1 and y = -5, it results in the equation -5 = -5, which is also a true statement. So, this being said, (-1, -5) would also be a solution.

Hence, our two solutions are:

Both [tex](1, 11)[/tex] and [tex](-1, -5)[/tex].

simplifying the equation we get

7(2+5x)=3x+14

14+35x=3x+14

An account grows at an annual interest rate of r , so it grows by a factor of x = 1+ r each year. The function A(x)= 800x^4 + 350x^3 + 500x^2 + 600x gives the amount in the account after 4 years when the growth factor is x.

1) What is the total amount in the account if the interest rate for the account is 3% each year?

Answers

Answer:

2431.311498

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the model:

A(x)= 800x^4 + 350x^3 + 500x^2 + 600x

x = growth factor = (1 + rate)

If rate = 3% ; x = (1 +. 3%) = (1 + 0.03 = 1.03

Hence,

A(1.03)= 800(1.03)^4 + 350(1.03)^3 + 500(1.03)^2 + 600(1.03)

= 2431.311498

This is the amount in account after 4 years, if the interest rate is 3% and growth rate = (1 + rate)

Applying the formula, it is found that the total amount in the account will be of $2,431.3.

The amount in the account after 4 years is given by:

[tex]A(x) = 800x^4 + 350x^3 + 500x^2 + 600x[/tex]

In which the growth factor is x = 1 + r, in which r is the interest rate, as a decimal.

In this problem, interest rate of 3%, hence [tex]r = 0.03, x = 1 + r = 1 + 0.03 = 1.03[/tex].

Then:

[tex]A(1.03) = 800(1.03)^4 + 350(1.03)^3 + 500(1.03)^2 + 600(1.03) = 2431.3[/tex]

The total amount in the account will be of $2,431.3.
