Answer:

The answer is actually C

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because you do 115 - 82.50 = 32.5 then divide by 82.5 = 0.394 multiply by 100 = 39.4%. A lot of people use the theoretical number to divide instead of the actual, because people confuse the number 115 the theoretical number with the actual one. This causes people to use the number 115 to divide when you should use 82.5 to divide.

The equation to find percent error is:
percent error=(experimental-theoretical)/theoretical *100
So, (115-82.5)/82.5=0.393939*100
39.3939%, or 39.94%

Hope this helps!!

Mario walked at a rate of 2/3 miles every 10 minutes what is his unit rate every mile per hour
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Mario's unit rate is given by 900 miles/hour.

Explanation:

We have been given that Mario walked at a rate of 2/3 miles every 10 minutes.

We have the relation between speed, time and distance, which is given by

\text{Speed}= \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}

We have,

Distance = \frac{2}{3} \text{ miles}

Time = 10 minutes

On substituting these values in the above formula, we get

\text{Speed} = \frac{2/3}{10}\\\\ \text{Speed} =\frac{2}{10\cdot 3}\\\\ \text{Speed} =[tex]\frac{1}{15} \text{ miles/min}[/tex]

We have to find the unit rate in mile per hour, so we need to multiply it by 60

Thus, unit rate is given by

\frac{1}{15} \times 60\\ = 4 \text{ miles/hour}

Multiplying these together, we get:

4 \sqrt{x^2}

The square root of x^2 is x, so we have a final expression of 4x.
