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.

(Geometry Question) A sledding run is 300 yards long with a vertical drop of 27.6 yards. Find the angle of depression of the run
atroni [7]

Answer:

5.28°

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw the triangle formed by the sledding run.  The hypotenuse is 300.  The height is 27.6.  The angle of depression is opposite of the height.

Using sine:

sin θ = 27.6 / 300

sin θ = 0.092

θ = 5.28°

Allisa [31]

pi radians in a semicircle (half circle)

2pi radians in a full circle.

2pi = 2*3.14 = 6.28 approximately, so there are approximately 6.28 radians in a half circle.

2pi radians is equivalent to 360 degrees.

Engineers measure angles in gradients, which are smaller than degrees. The table shows the conversion of some angle measures in
loris [4]
The table showing the conversion of angle measure in degrees to angles in gradients is attached below.

In order to find the slope we divide the difference of two y-coordinates (or dependent variable which in this case is gradient measure) by the difference of two respective x-coordinates (or independent variable which in this case is degree measure).

For finding the slope we will use the first and the last point given in the table. So, the slope m will be given by:

m= \frac{300-(-200)}{270-(-180)}  \\  \\ 
m= \frac{500}{450} \\  \\ 
m=1.11

So rounding of to nearest hundredth, the slope of line representing the conversion of degrees to gradients is 1.11

Katy had two choices of routes to get her to work. She wanted to choose the route that would get her to work fastest, on average
zmey [24]

Answer:

D. There is not enough evidence at the 5% significance level to indicate that one route gets Katy to work faster, on average, since 0 falls within the bounds of the confidence interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

At 5% confidence level, Katy found difference in mean commuting times (Route 1-Route 2) in minutes as (-1,9).

Since no difference in means (0 min) falls within the confidence level (-1,9), we can not reject the hypothesis that there is no difference in mean commuting times when using Route1 or Route2.

A <em>higher</em> significance level(10% etc) may lead a <em>shorter</em> confidence interval leaving 0 outside and may reach a conclusion that Route1 takes longer than Route2
