Zinc roofing weighs 1.6 pounds per square foot. Jose wants to order 357.85 square feet of roofing. Before ordering, he calculate

s how much weight that will put on his roof. His calculation is shown below.
357.85 times 1.6 = 214710. 214710 + 35785 = 178.925

Why is his answer incorrect?
He did not line up the decimal points in the factors.
He put the decimal point in the answer in the wrong place.
He did not use a placeholder when multiplying by one.
He did not multiply 6 by 357.85 correctly.

Answer:He is wrong because did not multiply 1.6 by 357.85 correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight per square foot of zinc roofing is 1.6 pounds. Jose wants to order 357.85 square feet of roofing. The total weight of 357.85 square feet of roofing would be

1.6 × 357.85 = 572.56 pounds

His calculation was

357.85 times 1.6 = 214710. 214710 + 35785 = 178.925

He is wrong because did not multiply 1.6 by 357.85 correctly.

Greta is taking a road trip from Cincinnati to San Francisco. On the first day, she drove 650 miles in 10 hours. On the second d
abruzzese [7]

Given:

On the first day, she drove 650 miles in 10 hours.

On the second day, she got a later start and drove 540 miles in 8 hours.

To find:

Difference between average speed of second day and first day.

Solution:

We know that,

Speed=\dfrac{Distance}{Time}

On the first day, she drove 650 miles in 10 hours.  So, the average speed is

Speed=\dfrac{650}{10}

Speed=65

So, the average speed on first day is 65 miles per hour.

On the second day, she got a later start and drove 540 miles in 8 hours.

Speed=\dfrac{540}{8}

Speed=67.5

So, the average speed on second day is 67.5 miles per hour.

Difference between average speed is

67.5-65=2.5

Therefore, the average speed on the second day is 2.5 miles per hour is faster than first day.

Find a matrix representation of the transformation L(x, y) = (3x + 4y, x − 2y).
mario62 [17]

Answer:

\left[\begin{array}{cc}x&y\end{array}\right] * \left[\begin{array}{cc}3&1\\4&-2\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{cc}3x+4y&x-2y\end{array}\right]

Step-by-step explanation:

The general matrix representation for this transformation would be:

\left[\begin{array}{cc}x&y\end{array}\right] * A = \left[\begin{array}{cc}3x+4y&x-2y\end{array}\right]

As the matrix A should have the same amount of rows as columns in the firs matrix and the same amount of columns as the result matrix it should be a 2x2 matrix.

\left[\begin{array}{cc}x&y\end{array}\right] * \left[\begin{array}{cc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{cc}3x+4y&x-2y\end{array}\right]

Solving the matrix product you have that the members of the result matrix are:

3x+4y = a*x + c*y

x - 2y = b*x + d*y

So the matrix A should be:

\left[\begin{array}{cc}3&1\\4&-2\end{array}\right]
