Benchmark are numbers that are used as standards to which the rest of the data is compared to. When counting numbers using a number line, the benchmark numbers are the intervals written on the axis. For benchmark numbers of 10, the number line on top of the attached picture is shown. Starting from 170, the tick marks are added by 10, such that the next numbers are 180, 190, 200, and so on and so forth. When you want to find 410, just find the benchmark number 410.
The same applies to benchmark numbers in intervals of 100. If you want to find 170, used the benchmark numbers 100 and 200. Then, you estimate at which point represents 170. For 410, you base on the benchmark numbers 400 and 500.
You just solve it like a normal multiplication problem and then start putting the decimal begin the answer and place it 3 numbers forward
Answer:
c. 35.34015106
Step-by-step explanation:
As with many problems of this nature, you only need to get close to be able to choose the correct answer. 22 minutes 45 seconds is just slightly less than 1/2 degree (30 minutes), so the tangent value will be just slightly less than tan(88.5°) ≈ 38. The appropriate choice is 35.34015106.
If you need confirmation, you can find tan(88°) ≈ 29, so you know the answer will be between 29 and 38.

The above has to do with strategies for choosing answers on multiple-choice problems. Below, we will work the problem.
The angle is (in degrees) ...
88 + 22/60 +45/3600 = 88 + (22·60 +45)/3600 = 88 +1365/3600
≈ 88.3791666... (repeating) . . . . degrees
A calculator tells you the tangent of that is ...
tan(88.3791666...°) ≈ 35.3401510614
Many calculators will round that to 10 digits, as in the answer above. Others can give a value correct to 32 digits. Spreadsheet values will often be correct to 15 or 16 digits.
For this case we have the following equation:

Where,
w: The weight of a spring in pounds
E: the energy stored by the spring in joules.
Substituting values we have:

Making the corresponding calculation:
Answer:
the approximate weight of the spring in pounds is:
B. 10 blocks
C. i’m not sure for this one but i’m guessing for directions
