Kurt and Maria's high school is having a newspaper drive.The goal is to collect 3,585 pounds of newspapers. So far, 21% of the goal has been reached. Kurt estimated the number of pounds of newspapers collected by finding 10% of 3,600 and then multiplying the result by 2. Maria estimated the number of pounds of newspapers collected by finding One-fifth of 3,600.

Answers

Answer 1

Options:

Who is right, and why?

a. Neither Kurt nor Maria is right, because 3,500 should be used instead of 3,600.

b. Kurt is right, because finding 1/5 of 3,600 is not a good way to approximate 21% of 3,585.

c. Maria is right, because finding 10% of 3,600 and multiplying the result by 2 is not a good way to approximate 21% of 3,585.

d. Both Kurt and Maria are right, because 3,585 should be rounded up to 3,600, and 21% of this amount can be approximated by either finding 10% of 3,600 and multiplying the result by 2 or by finding 1/5 of 3,600.

Answer:

d. Both Kurt and Maria are right, because 3,585 should be rounded up to 3,600, and 21% of this amount can be approximated by either finding 10% of 3,600 and multiplying the result by 2 or by finding 1/5 of 3,600.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Goal = 3585[/tex]

[tex]Collected = 21\%[/tex]

[tex]Kurt= 10\% * 3600 * 2[/tex]

[tex]Maria = \frac{1}{5} * 3600[/tex]

Required [Missing from the question]

Who is correct and why?

First, we calculate the actual amount collected.

[tex]Actual = Collected * Goal[/tex]

[tex]Actual = 21\% * 3585[/tex]

[tex]Actual = 752.85[/tex]

[tex]Actual = 753[/tex] --- approximate

Next, determine the estimate (round 3585 to 3600 and 21% to 20%)

[tex]Estimate = 20\% * 3600[/tex]

[tex]Estimate = 720[/tex]

Next, calculate Kurt and Maria's estimates

[tex]Kurt= 10\% * 3600 * 2[/tex]

[tex]Kurt = 720[/tex]

[tex]Maria = \frac{1}{5} * 3600[/tex]

[tex]Maria = 720[/tex]

Hence, Kurt and Maria are correct because of option (d)

Answers

I think it's -18 13/24 ?

Answer:

-18 13/24

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the two numbers, we need to find a common denominator. To do that, list the multiplies of both numbers & find the first one that is in common.

8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96, 104, 112, 120

6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66, 72, 78, 84, 90, 96, 102, 108, 114, 120

The first multiple 8 & 6 share is 24, so we'll use that as our denominator

-67/8 - 61/6

-201/24 - 244/24

(-201 - 244)/24

Subtract 244 from -201 to get -445.

-445/24

Convert -445/24 into a mixed number.

-18 13/24 is the answer to -8 3/8 - 10 1/6.

Answer:

They played 4 games and paid $19

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 3 = 2x + 11    (You basically have to solve for X)

4x - 2x = 11 - 3      (move like terms together)

2x = 8

x = (8/2)

x = 4

This means they had to play 4 games.

To get how much they paid, just plug 4 into any one of those given equations (They will both give the same answer).

4x + 3 ⇒ 4(4) + 3 = $19

To check if this is true,

2x + 11 ⇒ 2(4) + 11 = $19

Therefore, they paid $19

Answer:

$19 and played 4 games

5. Chante was very cold. She wanted to wear her new jacket with the pink
flowers on it. Her mother said that it was negative seven degrees Celsius
but that it was going to be eleven degrees Celsius by afternoon. How many
degrees would the temperature have to rise to reach eleven degrees
Celsius? Convert 11 degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many degrees the temperature would have to rise you need to do 11 - (-7) which is equal to 18. So the temperature rose 18 degrees.

To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit you need to do

(C * 9/5) + 32. In this case it would be (11 * 9/5) + 32 which results in 51.8 degrees Fahrenheit.

7. The milligrams of aspirin in a person's body is given by the equation a = 500 - (3/4)
where t is the number of hours since the patient took the medicine.

b. In the equation, what does the 500 tell us about the situation?

c. In the equation, what does the tell us about the situation?

d. Graph the equation for values of t between 0 and 4.

Answers

Answer:

a. 281.25 grams

b. The 500 represent the original amount of aspirin.

c. 3/4 tells us what amount of the aspirin remains after every hour.

d's answer is in the picture. Just copy the line.

Step-by-step explanation:

A is the only part that needs any explanation.

Since the t represent hours, I'll subsititute t for 2.

500 * (3/4)²

3/4 squared is 9/16.

500 * 9/16

Multiply 500 by 9 to get 4500.

4500/16

Simplify 4500/16 to 1125/4 (4 is canceled out.)

1125/4

Divide 1125 by 4 to get 281.25

281.25

281.25 grams of aspirin will be in the patient body after two hours.
