Answers:
-3.5 < 5
|-3.5| < |5|
============================================
Explanation:
Any negative number is <u>always</u> smaller than any positive number. So that's why -3.5 is smaller than 5 and where -3.5 < 5 comes from. It might help to set up a vertical number line. Stuff on top is larger than stuff down below.
---------
The vertical bars represent absolute value. The result of |-3.5| is 3.5 because this is the distance from -3.5 to 0 on the number line. Likewise, |5| = 5.
So that's how we get to |-3.5| < |5| which is effectively saying -3.5 is closer to zero than 5 is to zero.
Because the SI units are based on the power of 10 but the imperial units are not
Answer:
The container will hold 70.14 cubic cm of chocolate.
Step-by-step explanation:
The base of the prisms are equilateral triangles.
Each base measures 3 cm on a side.
The length of the container = 18 cm
Area of the equilateral triangle is given by :
a = 3 so area = 
= 3.897 cm square
And volume will be 
cubic cm.
So, the container will hold 70.14 cubic cm of chocolate.
Answer:
73.1 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
We solve for this using z score formula.
z-score is z = (x-μ)/σ,
where x is the raw score,
μ is the population mean
σ is the population standard deviation.
x = unknown = randomly selected male's height
μ = 70.3 inches
σ = 4.1 inches
z = is not given but we are given its percentile which is 75
The z score for a 75th percentile = 0.674
Hence,
0.674 = x - 70.3/4.1
Cross Multiply
0.674 × 4.1 = x - 70.3
2.7634 = x - 70.3
x = 70.3 + 2.7634
x = 73.0634 inches
The height of the randomly selected male = 73.0634
Therefore, the height of the randomly selected male to the nearest tenth of an inch is 73.1 inches
