You are checking the intermediate results of a phone app that calculates the weight of an object in kilograms given the weight i

n pounds. The particular calculation you are checking, shown below, is for an input weight of 142 pounds and outputs 29.3 kilograms. What is the first step that has an error, and why is it an error?
Step 1
Input value: 142

Step 2
Conversion factor: 2.2

Step 3
Conversion result: 64.5

Step 4
Conversion factor: 2.2

Step 5
Conversion result: 29.3

Step 1, because the input weight should be 29.3.
Step 2, because the conversion factor should be 1,000.
Step 3, because this conversion should have been multiplied by 2.2 instead of divided by 2.2.
Step 4, because there is only 1 conversion needed.
Step 5, because this conversion should have been multiplied by 2.2 instead of divided by 2.2.

Step 4 is correct since only one conversion is required. For the conversion of pounds to kilograms, dividing by 2.2 pounds/kg suffices; this has already been done in Step 3, rendering further steps unnecessary.

Choose the solutions of the following systems of equations x^2+y^2=6 and x^2-y=6
AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

The solutions are (-√6,0) and (√6,0)

(-√5,-1) and (√5,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We start with the equations:

{x}^{2} + {y}^{2} = 6

and

{x}^{2} - y = 6

Rearranging the second equation to make y the subject results in;

y = {x}^{2} - 6

Substituting into the first equation gives us:

{x}^{2} + ({x}^{2} - 6 )^2= 6

x = \pm \sqrt{6}

and x = \pm \sqrt{5}

The solutions remain as (-√6,0) and (√6,0)

(-√5,-1) and (√5,-1)

Inessa [12570]
In response to the earlier inquiry, the diagram depicts horizontal lines along with a vertical segment; FB measures 3. If C is defined as 3, then the coordinates for point D would be (-6,-4). I trust this response has clarified your question.

Ana drew a map of the Panama Canal. In the scale Ana used for the map, 4 centimeters represents 20 kilometers. The actual length
lawyer [12517]

Answer:

According to the map, the length of the canal is 16.4 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the real length of Panama Canal = 20 kilometers

and the canal's length on the map = 4 centimeters

Then, the scale factor is \frac{\text{Length of canal on map}}{\text{Actual length of canal}}

= \frac{4}{20}

= \frac{1}{5}

If the actual length of the Panama Canal = 82 kilometers

The length of the canal on the map = Actual length × Scale factor

= 82\times \frac{1}{5}

= 16.4 centimeters

So, the canal's length on the map is 16.4 centimeters.

Each year Lizzie's school purchases student agenda books, which are sold in the schooTstore. This year, the school purchased 350
AnnZ [12381]
The outcome is $7.54 for each book.

By adding 1137.5 and 1500, you obtain 2637.5.
Then, dividing 2637.5 by 350 gives 7.54.

Verifying the result
350 multiplied by 7.54 equals $2639.

Subtracting $1137.5 from $2639 results in $1501.5 (profit).
