HELP WITH EQUATION

Answers

Answer 1

I think  the answer its 1.8 percent because if you subtract 15-13.2 comes out to be 1.8.

but l also think it could be 12 percent error.      

Answer 2

The odometer recorded [tex]13.2[/tex] miles for his last trip to the hardware store, but he knows the distance traveled is [tex]15[/tex] miles then the percent error is  [tex]12 \%[/tex] .

What is percentage ?

A percentage is a number or ratio that can be expressed as a fraction of 100. And is denoted using the percent sign, "[tex]\%[/tex]".

Percentage [tex]=\frac{Diffeerence \ in \ value}{Total \ value}[/tex]

We have,

Last trip to the hardware store [tex]=13.2[/tex] miles

Original trip to the hardware store [tex]=15[/tex] miles

So,

Using the above given formula;

Percentage error [tex]=\frac{Diffeerence \ in \ value}{Total \ value}*100[/tex]

                     [tex]=\frac{15-13.2}{15} *100[/tex]

                    [tex]=\frac{1.8}{15} *100[/tex]

                    [tex]=12 \%[/tex]

So, the Percentage error in the odometer is [tex]12 \%[/tex] which is find out using above given formula.

Hence, we can say that the odometer recorded [tex]13.2[/tex] miles for his last trip to the hardware store, but he knows the distance traveled is [tex]15[/tex] miles then the percent error is    [tex]12 \%[/tex] .

The Empire State Building is just over 1,450 feet tall. In anticipation of visiting this
landmark on your vacation, you create a model of it using blocks.

a) Suppose you are making a model where one block represents 2 feet. About how
many blocks tall is your model of the Empire State Building? What is the scale
factor? (2 points)

b) Suppose you are making a model where one block represents 5 feet. About how
many blocks tall is your model of the Empire State Building? What is the scale
factor? (2 points)

c) Look at the scale factor from parts a and b. Do they represent a reduction or an enlargement of the Empire State Building? How do you know? (2 points)

d) Use your knowledge of scale drawings and image sizes to fill in the missing
information in the table. (3 points)

Answers

A) your model would be 725 blocks tall because 1,450/2=725
B) your model would be 290 blocks tall because 1,450/5=290.
C)reduction of the Empire State Building because you are building a model that takes blocks representative of a larger unit than what it signifies
D)don’t have the table to fill in

Model  requiring  525 block and 290 blocks

What is scale factor ?

Scale Factor is used to scale shapes in different dimensions. In geometry, we learn about different geometrical shapes which both in two-dimension and three-dimension. The scale factor is a measure for similar figures, who look the same but have different scales or measures. Suppose, two circle looks similar but they could have varying radii.

a) You have two given data available here: the actual height of the Empire State Building measuring 1,450 feet, and the height of the block measuring 2 feet. To find how many blocks stacked together would make up 1,450 feet, just divide 1,450 by 2.

Number of blocks=1,450 feet * (1 block/2 feet)

Number of blocks = 725 blocks

Therefore, you would use a model requiring 725 blocks.

The scale factor for the model is 1 block per two feet.

b) You have two given data available here: the actual height of the Empire State Building measuring 1,450 feet, and the height of the block measuring 5 feet. To find how many blocks stacked together would make up 1,450 feet, just divide 1,450 by 5.

Number of blocks=1,450 feet * (1 block/5 feet)

Number of blocks = 290 blocks

Therefore, you would use a model requiring 290 blocks.

The scale factor for the model is 1 block per five  feet.

As Dad said, Every cloud has a silver lining.Dad was already in Colorado, but Mom stayed behind so that the twins Natalie and Mason could finish fifth grade at Oak School. Today, Natalie and Mason were helping to pack boxes, and they enjoyed looking at the old treasures, especially the photo albums.Mason found many photos, and Natalie picked up one of a baseball team in which the mens uniforms had CLEVELAND printed on them. Someone had written 1895 on the photo, and Natalie asked, Why is this photo here? The year is more than one hundred years ago.Mason asked Mom, Is there a famous baseball player in our family?I dont know of anyone in my family, but maybe there was someone in your dads family, she said, so remember to ask about the photo when you talk to your dad tonight.That night Dad called, and Mason was eager to talk to him.

Mason knew that a franchise is a name for a professional sports team. Under Earlier Franchises they found three teams: Cleveland Blue, 18791884; Cleveland Infants, 18901890; and Cleveland Spiders, 18871899.Mason shouted, We found the answer! Our 1895 photo must show the Cleveland Spiders.Natalie said, You might be right, so lets find out about them.They looked for Cleveland Spiders and found the headline, Grand Opening. About Nine Thousand People See the First Game. A new Cleveland ballpark had opened on May 2, 1891. Cy Young was the starting pitcher, and Zimmer was listed as one of the players. Thats the cousin of our great-great-grandfather! said Natalie.Mom said, That means he played on the same team as Cy Young, who was an exceptional pitcher who won more games than any other pitcher in history.Mason wanted to know more, so they searched a baseball almanac. Natalie saw a list of players, and Zimmer was a catcher in 1895, a year in which the team came in second. She also read that in 1899, the Spiders were baseballs worst team.Natalie checked the 1899 team, and there was Zimmer again. Oh, well, you cant win them all, she said.Mom then said, Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.
