Here is the solution...

Compensation

The compensation is nothing but the process of reforming the given expression to find the answer mentally.

Here we need to rewrite the given expression in order find the answer mentally.

Step 1:

Here we can add 8 with 6572, so we get 6580.

Step 2:

Add 8 from 239, so we get 247.

Step 3:

We can rewrite 247 as 240 + 7

Step 4:

Now we can subtract 240 from 6580, so we get 6340.

We can calculate this mentally.

Step 5:

Finally, we can subtract 7 from 6340 mentally, So we get

6333.

Mathematically, the above expression written as

6572- 239

= 6572 + 8 - (239 + 8)

= 6580 - 247

= 6580 - (240 + 7)

= 6580 -240 - 7

= 6340 - 7

= 6333

Point T is at (–3, 7). What are the coordinates of point T' after Ry-axis ∘ Rx-axis?

dimaraw [331]

Given:

The point is T(-3,7).

To find:

The image T' after $R_{y-axis}\circ R_{x-axis}$ .

Solution:

$R_{y-axis}\circ R_{x-axis}$ , it means reflection across x-axis is followed by reflection across y-axis.

If a point is reflected across the x-axis, then

$(x,y)\to (x,-y)$

$T(-3,7)\to T_1(-3,-7)$

Then point is reflected across the y-axis. So,

$(x,y)\to (-x,y)$

$T_1(-3,-7)\to T'(3,-7)$

Therefore, the coordinates of point T' are (3,-7).

Question 45 A length of pipe that weighs 45 pounds is cut into two pieces. One of the pieces is 3 feet long and weighs 18 pounds

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer: 4.5 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Weight of original pipe =45 pounds

Weight of first piece = 18 pounds

Then, Weight of other piece = 45- 18 = 27 pounds

Length of first piece = 3 feet

Let x be the length of other piece.

As length is directly proportional to weight.

Then, $\dfrac{x}{27}=\dfrac{3}{18}$

$\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{x}{27}=\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{1}{6}\times27 =4.5$

Hence, the he length of the other piece = 4.5 pounds.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a)/Let x represent the amount of money earned by the World Issues club for all their fundraising activities this year.

Let y represent the revenue generated for the foundation.

b) The World Issues club has decided to donate 60% of all their fundraising activities this year to Stephen Lewis Foundation. Therefore, an equation that will determine the amount of money the foundation will receive is

60/100 × x = y

0.6x = y

A researcher says to the respondents in a poll, “Eating too many sugary foods leads to cavities. Would you rather have soda or w

mafiozo [28]

The correct answer is B. No, the wording of the question makes respondents more likely to say water, even if they may actually prefer soda at a meal.

Explanation:

One important factor when designing questions in research is to avoid any language that might influence the answers of respondents. This recommendation was not followed in the question "Eating too many sugary foods leads to cavities. Would you rather have soda or water served with your meal?" because mentioning sugary foods, which includes soda, leads to cavities will make respondents consider soda is negative and they are more likely to choose water. This implies the wording in the question influences respondents and introduces bias, which is inappropriate. Thus, the correct answer is B.
