Answer:

12.7 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the place values:

12.654

1 (tens value)

2 (ones value)

6 (tenths value)

5 (hundredths value)

4 (thousandths value)

You are rounding to the nearest tenths value. Note that when rounding, you look at the value directly next to the one you are solving for. If the digit is 5 or greater, round up. If it is 4 or less, round down.

In this case, the hundredths value is a 5, so round up.

12.654 miles rounded to the nearest tenths value is 12.7

12.7 miles is your answer.

This item can be answered through the concept of fundamental principles of counting. In the first of the four digits, there are 10 possible digits. The same with all the other 3 places or digits of the code. That is,
n = 10 x 10 x 10 x 10
Giving us the answer of 10,000. Thus, there are 10,000 possible keys for the keyless entry.

Given that a rectangle with length $3x$ inches and width $x + 5$ inches has the property that its area and perimeter have equal

scoray [572]

Answer:

First, we need to know how to calculate the area and the permiter of a rectangle.

To calculate the area, we multiply base by height and to calculate the perimeter, we sum all sides.

Knowing this, we can say that the area is 3x * (x+5) and the perimiter is 3x + 3x + x + 5 + x + 5, as we know both are the same, we write it as an equation:

$3x * (x+5) = 3x + 3x + x + 5 + x + 5$
