Answer with explanation:

It is given that, a scale reports a 15-pound weight as weighing 12.375 pounds.

The problem arose because , the staff or the working person,or some ignorant person who must be unaware of this machine has either by mistake or just to irk the person whose thing is getting weighed, must have changed the scale, due to that there is error in measurement of weight of that object or thing.

So,the option which demonstrates the statement correctly is:

Option A:

The Scale is both accurate and precise.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If it is accurate then it would have gotten the correct weight, but by going down to the thousandths it would be precise

it takes max 1.8 hours to walk home from work at a rate of 3.5km/h. how long would it take max to cover the same distance walkin

NikAS [45]

Time taken by Max to cover the same distance walking at 4.2 km/h is 1.5 hours

<h3>Solution:</h3>

Given it takes Max 1.8 hours to walk home from work at a rate of 3.5km/h

We have to find time taken by Max to cover the same distance walking at 4.2 km/h

The relation between speed and time is given as:

$speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

CASE 1:

It takes Max 1.8 hours to walk home from work at a rate of 3.5km/h

Let us first find the distance covered

Time taken = 1.8 hours and speed = 3.5 km/hr

$3.5 = \frac{distance}{1.8}\\\\distance = 3.5 \times 1.8 = 6.3$

Hence distance covered is 6.3 km

Now we have to find the time taken to cover same 6.3 km walking at 4.2 km\hr

$4.2 = \frac{6.3}{time taken}\\\\time taken = \frac{6.3}{4.2} = 1.5$

So time taken by Max to cover the same distance walking at 4.2 km/h is 1.5 hours

Ella completed the following work to test the equivalence of two expressions.

MrRa [10]

Answer:

The expressions are not equivalent because Ella did not know that you can’t use substitution to test for equivalence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equivalent algebraic expressions are those expressions which on simplification give the same resulting expression.

Two algebraic expressions are said to be equivalent if their values obtained by substituting any values of the variables are same.

Two expressions 3f+2.6 and 2f+2.6 are not equivalent, because when f=1,

3f + 2.6 = 3.1 + 2.6 = 3 + 2.6 = 5.6

2f + 2.6 = 2.1 + 2.6 = 2 + 2.6 = 4.6

5.6 = 4.6

Method of substitution can only help her to decide the expresssions are not equivalent, but if she wants to prove the expressions are equivalent, she must prove it for all values of f.

3f + 2.6 = 2f + 2.6

3f = 2f

3f - 2f = 0

f = 0

This is true only when f=0.

Hence,

The expressions are not equivalent because Ella did not know that you can’t use substitution to test for equivalence.
