Answer:

sample answer: Sari had a good estimate for the problem. But she was not correct in saying that her answer was slightly greater than the actual answer. The rounded dividend, 120, is slightly less than 120.76, and the rounded divisor, 10, is slightly greater than 9.9, so the estimate would be less than the actual quotient.

Step-by-step explanation:

I did the practice test on edge :>

Answer:

Yes, her estimate is greater than the actual answer. 120.78/9.9 = 12.2. Since 12.2 (the actual answer) is greater than her estimate of 12, she is correct.

A company administers an "aptitude test for managers" to aid in selecting new management trainees. Prior experience suggests tha
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

0.94

Step-by-step explanation:

The question after this basically is:

<em>"If the applicant passes the "aptitude test for managers", what is the probability that the applicant will succeed in the management position?"</em>

<em />

So,

P(successful if hired) = 60% = 0.6 [let it be P(x)]

P(success at passing the test) = 85% = 0.85   [let it be P(y)]

P(successful and pass the test) =  P(x) + P(y) -[P(x)*P(y)]

So,

P(successful and pass the test) = 0.6 + 0.85 - (0.6*0.85) = 0.94 (94%)

Ella takes 1 3/5 hours to complete a painting. Holly takes 3/4 of the time that Ella takes. How long will Holly take to complete
Misha Larkins [42]
1. you have to figure out what 3/4 of Ella's time is.
1 \frac{3}{5}  =  \frac{8}{5}
(You find that out by multiplying 5x1. Then add 3.)
2. Convert the fractions into decimals. (This will help make it easier when dividing.)
\frac{8}{5}  = 8 \div 5 = 1.6
\frac{3}{4}  = 3 \div 4 = .75
3. Next you are going to divide 1.6 by .75
1.6 \div .75 = 2.13
4. Now multiple 2.13 by 5.
2.13 \times 5 = 10.65

A environmental initiative has the goal of saving at least 25 2525 million hectares of rainforest through both planting trees an
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The possible way for the initiative to accomplish its goal without exceeding its budget is use 12.5 hectares for planting trees and 12.5 hectares by purchasing land.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the variable <em>X</em> represent the amount of land used for planting trees and <em>Y</em> represent the amount of land purchased.

The goal of the environmental initiative is to save at least 25 million hectares of rain forest.

That is:

<em>X</em> + <em>Y</em> = 25....(i)

Now it is provided that:

  • The cost of planting trees is $ 400 per hectare.
  • The cost of purchasing land is $ 260 per hectare.
  • The initiative has a budget of $8,250 million.

Using the above data it can be said that:

400<em>X</em> + 260<em>Y</em> = 8250....(ii)

Solve equations (i) and (ii) simultaneously.

\ \ \ \ x+y=25]\times 260\\400x+260y=8250\\\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\\\\\Rightarrow\\\\260x+260y=6500\\400x+260y=8250\\(-)\_\_\_\_\_\ (-)\_\_\_\_(-)\_\_\_\\\\\Rightarrow\\\\-140x=-1750\\\\x=\frac{1750}{140}\\\\x=12.5

Then the value of <em>y</em> is:

x+y=25\\y=25-x\\y=25-12.5\\y=12.5

Thus, the possible way for the initiative to accomplish its goal without exceeding its budget is use 12.5 hectares for planting trees and 12.5 hectares for purchasing land.
