A student made a mistake when measuring the volume of a big container. He found the volume to be 75 liters.However, the real value for the volume is 60 liters. What is the percent error?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation is in progress of writing:

First, I will divide 60 by 75 and multiply by 100, to find what percent of 75 is 60:

= [tex]\frac{60}{75}[/tex] · 100

= 0.8 · 100

= 80%

Answer 2

The percentage error of the student's measurement is 25%.

Given the following data;

Experimental value = 75 liters Real value = 60 liters

Percentage error can be defined as a measure of the extent to which an experimental value differs from the theoretical value.

Mathematically, percentage error is given by this expression;

[tex]Perecent \; error = \frac{Real \; value - Experimental \; value}{Real \; value} * 100[/tex]

Substituting the values into formula, we have;

[tex]Perecent \; error = \frac{60 - 75}{60} * 100[/tex]

[tex]Perecent \; error = \frac{-15}{60} * 100[/tex]

Note: The negative sign is neglected in percentage error.

[tex]Perecent \; error = \frac{1}{4} * 100[/tex]

Percent error = 25%

Therefore, the percent error is 25%.

Which number produces a rational number when added to 1/3

Answers

Answer:

[tex]0.22[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]0.22 =22/100[/tex]

0.22 can be expressed as a fraction. Therefore, it is a rational number.

1/3 is a raional number.

[tex]1/3+22/100=83/150[/tex]

To produce a rational number we add 0.22 to 1/3. So, option C. is the right option.

What are rational and irrational numbers?

A rational number is any number of the form p/q, where p, q ∈ Z, q ≠ 0, and p and q have no common factors except 1.

Any number which cannot be expressed in the above form is called an irrational number.

How do we solve the given question?

In the question, we are asked to find the number from the given choices, which when added to 1/3, produces a rational number.

We know that adding an irrational number to any number gives an irrational number only. So we simply need to check for the rational number among the given options. Analyzing the options:

A. π: It is an irrational number as it cannot be expressed in the required form of p/q for being a rational number. (We sometimes take π = 22/7 which is a rational form, but it is not the actual value of π).B. 5.38516480...: It is an irrational number as it cannot be expressed in the required form of p/q for being a rational number.C. 0.22: It is a rational number as it can be written as 11/50, the required p/q form for being a rational number.D. √10: It is an irrational number as it cannot be expressed in the required form of p/q for being a rational number.

∴ We will add 0.22 to 1/3, to produce a rational number. Option C. is the right choice.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]D = 1 - \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]D = \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

1 bag of potting soil

[tex]Peat Moss = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Required

What part is dirt?

The whole bag of potting soil is represented as 1;

Let P represent Peat Moss and D represented Dirt; Such that

[tex]P + D = 1[/tex]

Subtract P from both sides

[tex]P - P + D = 1 - P[/tex]

[tex]D = 1 - P[/tex]

Substitute [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] for P

[tex]D = 1 - \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]D = \frac{4-1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]D = \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Hence, [tex]1 - \frac{1}{4}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of the potting soil is Dirt

The point (2,–5), when reflected across the origin, maps onto the point _______. answers : (–5,2) (5,–2) (–2,5) (2,5)

Answers

The points (2, -5) when reflected across the origin becomes (-2, 5)

What is reflection?

Reflection is a mathematical transformation of a shape by moving the vertices of the shape a distance equal to the distance between the line of reflection and the original point.

Other types of transformational processes are: Rotation and translation.

Analysis:

In transformation in the origin, the line of reflection is x = 0 and y = 0.

Which means both coordinates of the point would be changed.

At x = 2, 2 is 2 units from the origin. The only point which is 2 units away from the origin in the opposite side is -2.

Also at x = -5, that is 5 units away from the origin. The only point 5 units away from the origin is 5. so the new coordinate is 5.

In conclusion, the new point after reflection would be (-2, 5)
