Imagine you measure the length of 15 cars, and then sum that length, in order to see how big a parking lot must be. You do this in two different ways. First, you use the same bad tape measure for each car so that your measurement is always 1 cm too long, or always too short, for all of the measurements. For your second attempt, you use a different bad tape measure for each car, so there is an uncertainty of plus or minus 1cm in each measurement. What is your estimate of the total error in the sum of all the car lengths in these two cases

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

± 15 cm  

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first case, since the measurement is 1 cm too long or too short, the error is ± 1 cm.

In the second case, the uncertainty or error is also ± 1 cm.

Now, since there are 15 cars, and there is an error of ± 1 cm in each measurement, by the error formula the total error in the sum of both cases is 15 × ±1 cm = ± 15 cm  

So, the total error in both cases is ± 15 cm.

He uses 750 millilitres of orange squash.
Jamil is going to put the drink he has mixed into 1 litre bottles.
Work out the greatest number of 1 litre bottles that Jamil can completely fill.

Answers

Answer:

7 bottles

Step-by-step explanation:

first, calculate the volume of the total ammount of soloution

750ml + 9(750ml)=7500ml

then divide by 1000 to put the total into litres

7500/1000=7.5L

7.5L goes into 1L exactly 7 times with a remainder of 500ml as the bottles are required to be completely full

Jamal needs to purchase a countertop for his kitchen. Jamal measured the countertop as 5 ft. The actual measurement is 4.5 ft. What is Jamal’s percent error?
A) 5%
B) 11%
C) 45%
D) 50%

Answers

Answer:

percent error is 11.1%  (which agrees with answer B)

Step-by-step explanation:

The discrepancy (difference) between the measurement and the real length was: 5 - 4.5 = 0.5 ft

Then the percent difference is calculated as:

(difference / real value) * 100 = ( 0.5 / 4.5ft  ) * 100 =  11.1%

What is the unitary method?

The unitary method is a method for solving a problem by the first value of a single unit and then finding the value by multiplying the single value. Unitary method is a technique by which we find the value of a single unit from the value of multiple devices and the value of more than one unit from the value of a single unit. It is a method that we use for most of the calculations in math.

We are given that;

The four options

Now,

This is because the electric field at a point in space is in the direction of the force that the electric field would exert on a positive test charge if there were a positive test charge at that point in space1. Because positive charges repel each other, the electric field around an isolated positive charge is oriented radially outward.

Therefore, by unitary method the answer will be Lines with arrows that point outward radiate from the charge in all directions.

suppose the distnace in feet that an object travels t seconds is given by the formula d=64t^2 how far would the object travel after 1.5 * 10^3 seconds

Answers

Answer:

The object travels 144,000,000 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance the object travel after t seconds is given by:

[tex]d(t) = 64t^2[/tex]

How far would the object travel after 1.5 * 10^3 seconds

This is d when [tex]t = 1.5 \times 10^3 = 1500[/tex], so [tex]d(1500)[/tex]

[tex]d(1500) = 64*1500^2 = 144000000[/tex]

The object travels 144,000,000 feet.

Answers

Answer:

Maya says there are 4 hundreds in 5,467. Jenny says there are 54 hundreds in 5,467. their teacher say's they're both right. How can that be so?​

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

They are truly both right.

Maya says there are 4 hundreds in 5,467. This is right because the place value of 4 in 5467 is 4 hundreds = 400.

Jenny says there are 54 hundreds in 5,467. This is also correct as well. The number 5467 in words is five thousand four hundred and sixty seven. 54 hundreds equals = 54 × 100 = 5400

The place value of 5 is 5000.

The place value of 4 is 400

Addition of both gives = 5000 + 400 = 5400

If we divide 5400 by 100, we would have 54. It shows that there are 54 hundreds.

Both are correct

At a historical landmark, candles are used to simulate an authentic atmosphere. A volunteer is currently putting new candles in the candle holders. On the east side, he replaced candles in 24 small candle holders and 3 large candle holders, using a total of 87 candles. On the west side, he replaced the candles in 14 small candle holders and 7 large candle holders, for a total of 77 candles. How many candles does each candle holder hold?

Each small candleholder holds ____ candles, and each large one holds ____ candles

Answers

Answer:

Each small candleholder holds 3 candles, and each large one holds 5 candles.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of candles that a small candleholder holds.

y is the number of candles that a large candleholder holds.

24 small candle holders and 3 large candle holders, using a total of 87 candles.

This means that

[tex]24x + 3y = 87[/tex]

Simplifying by 3

[tex]8x + y = 29[/tex]

[tex]y = 29 - 8x[/tex]

14 small candle holders and 7 large candle holders, for a total of 77 candles.

This means that [tex]14x + 7y = 77[/tex]

Simplifying by 7

[tex]2x + y = 11[/tex]

[tex]y = 11 - 2x[/tex]

Since [tex]y = 29 - 8x[/tex]

[tex]11 - 2x = 29 - 8x[/tex]

[tex]6x = 18[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{18}{6}[/tex]

[tex]x = 3[/tex]

[tex]y = 29 - 8x = 29 - 8*3 = 29 - 24 = 5[/tex]

Each small candleholder holds 3 candles, and each large one holds 5 candles.
