Joshua uses his thermometer and finds the boiling point of ethyl alcohol to be 75 degrees Celsius. He looks in a reference book and finds that the actual boiling point of ethyl alcohol is 80 degrees Celsius. What is his percent error?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

6.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent error is calculated by taking the difference of measured value and correct value divided by correct value and multiplied by 100%.

Mathematically,

Percent error = (correct value - measured value)/correct value  * 100%

_________________________________________________

in the problem given

measured value = 75 degrees Celsius

correct value = 80 degrees Celsius ( as given in reference book)

thus,

Percent error = (80 - 75)/80 * 100%

Percent error = (5/80 )* 100% = 6.25%

Percent error calculated by him is  6.25%.

Answer 2

We will see that the percent error in Joshua's measure is:

Pe = 6.25%

How to get the percent error in a measure?

The percent error for a measure is computed as:

[tex]P_E = (\frac{A - M}{A})*100 \%[/tex]

Where A is the accepted value and M is the measured value.

Here we have:

A = 80°C

M = 70°C

Replacing that we get:

[tex]P_E = (\frac{80 \°C - 75 \°C}{80 \°C})*100 \% = 6.25 \%[/tex]

So we can conclude that the percent error is 6.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, list all the factors of the two numbers. Factors are numbers that evenly divide into a number.

Factors of 27: 1, 3, 9, 27

Factors of 36: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36

Now, find the GCF. The GCF is the largest factor both numbers share. In this case, the GCF is 9.

Now, find the equivalent expression.

Vivian worked 19 hours more than Malik last month. If Vivian worked 7 hours for every 2 hours that Malik worked, how many hours did they each work? Note: these are proportion problems

Answers

Answer:

Malik 7.6

Vivian 26.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Vivian is working at the rate of 7hrs per 2 hours so basically 3.5hrs per hour Malik worked. In equation, it looks like:

V=3.5m where M is the number of hours Malik worked.

We know Vivian works 19 more hours than Malik and that in equation would be:

m+19 = V

So equate the two

3.5m = m+19

3.5m-m=19

2.55m=19

m=7.6

V=7.6+19 = 26.6

A trader purchased 1,000 books at the rate of $5.40 per book and spent $200 towards transportation. If he wants to earn a profit of 12.5%, at what price should he sell each book?
( with explanation )

Answers

Answer:

$6.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of one book =  $5.40

cost of 1000 books = 1000* Cost of one book  =  $5.40*1000 = $5400

Transportation cost for all the books = $200

Thus, total cost for all the books = cost of 1000 books + Transportation cost for all the books  = $5400 + $200 = $5600.

Given , trader wants to earn a profit of 12.5%

thus, we find 12.5 % of total cost incurred by trader

12.5 % of total cost incurred by trader = 12.5/100 *  $5600. = $700

Thus, total profit for 1000 books will be $700

we know that

selling price = cost price + profit

therefore, in the given problem

selling price for 1000 books =  total cost for 1000 books + total profit

substituting the value as calculated above

selling price for 1000 books = $5600 + $700 = $6300

To find selling price for one book, lets divide LHS and RHS by 1000

selling price for 1000/100 books = $6300/1000 = $6.3

Thus, trader should sell each book at $6.3 to earn a profit of 12.5%.

The length of a rectangle is x. The length and width add up to 10 inches. What is the maximum area of the rectangle? Please provide steps on how solve!

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Area=25\,\,in^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the rectangle is unknown and is defined with the letter "x". Notice that the width of the rectangle is also unknown, so we can name it 'y".

Recall the formula for the area of a rectangle (length times width), and notice that it is this quantity the one we need to maximize (find the maximum possible value).

We use the other information provided to represent the rectangle's with (y) in terms of "x" :

length + width = 10 inches

x + y = 10

Therefore,   y = 10 - x

Now we use this expression for "y" in the product for the area;

[tex]Area= x\,*\,y\\Area=x\,(10-x)\\Area=10x-x^2\\Area=-x^2+10x[/tex]

Notice that this quadratic expression corresponds to a parabola with branches pointing down (negative leading term), so its maximum value would be given at the vertex of the parabola.

Now recall that the formula for the x-value of a parabola's vertex when its function is of the form [tex]f(x)=ax^2+bx+c[/tex]

is given by:

[tex]x_{vertex}=-\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]

which in our case where "a" = -1 and "b" = +10, gives:

[tex]x_{vertex}=-\frac{b}{2a}\\x_{vertex}=\frac{-10}{2(-1)}\\x_{vertex}=\frac{-10}{-2}\\x_{vertex}=5[/tex]

Then the maximum value for the Area can be obtained by replacing "x" with "5" in the area formula:

[tex]Area=-x^2+10x\\Area=-(5)^2+10\,(5)\\Area=-25+50\\Area=25\,\,in^2[/tex]

Therefore, the area of the rectangle is [tex]25\,\,in^2[/tex]

The diameter of a cylinder is 10 feet. The height of the cylinder is 15 feet. What is the approximate volume of the cylinder rounded to the nearest cubic foot? Use 3.14 for π.

Answers

Answer:

1,178 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of cylinder is given by following formula

volume = [tex]\pi r^2l[/tex]

where r is the radius for cylinder and l is the height of cylinder.

____________________

given

diameter of cylinder = 10 feet

radius is half diameter

thus, radius = diameter/2 = 10/2 = 5 feet

height of the cylinder = 15 feet.

[tex]volume = \pi r^2l\\=> volume = 3.14* 5^2*15\\=> volume = 3.14* 25*15 = 1,177.5[/tex]

Thus, volume of cylinder is 1,177.5 cubic feet

volume of cylinder,rounded to the nearest cubic foot, is 1,178 cubic feet.

Multiply each equation by a constant that would help to eliminate the y terms. 2x-5y=-21 3x-3y=-18 What are the resulting equations?

Answers

Answer:

6x - 15y = -63

15x -15y = -90

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to multiply the two equations by a constant that will eliminate the y terms.

The two equations are:

2x - 5y = -21

3x - 3y = -18

Let us multiply the first by 3 and the second by 6. The resulting equations will be:

6x - 15y = -63

15x -15y = -90

Note: To solve the system of equations we can simply subtract the first from the second.
