Answer:

the significant figures of the number 0.0560 is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Significant figure is the number of non-zero digits.

The given number is 0.0560

Now, we know that leading zeros are not significant.

Hence, we count the number of digits after the decimal excluding 0.

So there are 3 digits 5,6 and 0.

Hence, we can conclude that the significant figures of the number 0.0560 is 3.

Match each set of points with the slope of the line formed by the ordered pairs.

Fynjy0 [20]

1) The slope of the point (0,0) and (2,1) is 1/2.

2) The slope of the point (0,-1) and (2,-5) is -2.

3) The slope of the point (0,7) and (2,4) is -3/2.

4) The points (-1,3) and (-1,-3) has No slope.

5) The slope of the point (1,-3) and (-1,-3) is zero.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

There are five set of points given in the question.

You need to find out the slope of the line formed by the points.

The formula used to find the slope of a line is given by,

Slope = $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

1) The given points are (0,0) and (2,1)

(x1,y1) ⇒ (0,0)

(x2,y2) ⇒ (2,1)

Slope = $\frac{1-0}{2-0}$

⇒ 1/2 is the slope.

2) The given points are (0,-1) and (2,-5)

(x1,y1) ⇒ (0,-1)

(x2,y2) ⇒ (2,-5)

Slope = $\frac{-5+1}{2-0}$

⇒ $\frac{-4}{2}$

⇒ -2 is the slope.

3) The given points are (0,7) and (2,4)

(x1,y1) ⇒ (0,7)

(x2,y2) ⇒ (2,4)

Slope = $\frac{4-7}{2-0}$

⇒ -3/2 is the slope.

4) The given points are (-1,3) and (-1,-3)

(x1,y1) ⇒ (-1,3)

(x2,y2) ⇒ (-1,-3)

Slope = $\frac{-3-3}{-1+1}$

⇒ -6/0 (No slope)

If the denominator of a fraction is zero, the expression is not a legal fraction because it's overall value is undefined.

∴ There is no slope.

5) The given points are (1,-3) and (-1,-3)

(x1,y1) ⇒ (1,-3)

(x2,y2) ⇒ (-1,-3)

Slope = $\frac{-3+3}{-1-1}$

⇒ 0/-2

∴ The slope is zero.

Henry works at a warehouse where he earns $23.56 per hour. How much money will Henry earn after working for 37 hours and 42 minu

Burka [1]

Answer:

$888.21

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll break this problem into two chunks.

First, find the number of dollars Henry gets after working for 37 hours. Since he gets paid $23.56 per hour, all you do is multiply how many hours he's worked (37) by the rate he gets paid (23.56) which gets you $871.72.

Second, adding 42 minutes onto the 37 hours. Since there are 60 minutes in one hour, all you have to do is divide 42 minutes by 60 minutes to get how much of 42 minutes is 1 hour, which is 0.7. Multiply 0.7 by 23.56 (the rate he gets paid per hour) and you have $16.49.

Adding the two sums gets you 888.21 dollars in total.

The area of a trapezoid is 144 square inches. if the height is 12 inches, find the length of the median.

deff fn [24]

Answer: 12 inches

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, since we're asked to find the length of the median, let's use our formula for the area of a trapezoid that involves the median which is shown below.

Area = median · height

We know that the area is 144 and the height is 9 so we can set up the equation 144 = M · 12. Now to solve for <em>m</em>, we divide both sides of the equation by 12 and we find that 12 = M.

So the length of the median of the trapezoid is 12 inches.

Bruce wants to make 50 ml of an alcohol solution with a 12% concentration. He has a 10% alcohol solution and a

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

0.1x+0.15(50-x)= 50*0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

50 ml of 12% solution has 50*0.12 ml of alcohol

x ml of 10% solution has x*0.1 ml of alcohol

(50-x) ml of 15% solution has (50-x)*0.15 ml of alcohol

The equation to solve is:

0.1x+0.15(50-x)= 50*0.12
