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.

A grocery store wants to examine the relationship between the sales amounts each day at two different locations, store A and sto
Leona [12618]

Response:

The average of the 10 sales figures for store A is $40,000.

Detailed explanation:

Provided;

yˆ= −3,000 + 1.2x...................... (1)

Where;

x = daily sales amounts at store A or the average of the 10 sales amounts for store A =?

yˆ = daily sales amounts at store B or the average of the 10 sales amounts for store B = $45,000

Substituting y = 45,000 into equation (1) and solving for x, yields:

45,000 = −3,000 + 1.2x

45,000 + 3,000 = 1.2x

48,000 = 1.2x

x = 48,000 / 1.2

x = 40,000

Consequently, the mean of the 10 sales figures for store A is $40,000.

Leona [12618]

Answer:

16 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the count of years. The suburb population increases at a rate of 5000 annually, which can be formulated as:

320000 + 5000x

The city population decreases at a rate of 14000 per year, represented as:

624000 - 14000x

The point in time when both the suburb and city populations will match can be derived from:

320000 + 5000x = 624000 - 14000x

14000x + 5000x = 624000 - 320000

19000x = 304000

x = 304000 / 19000

x = 16

In 16 years, the populations of both the suburb and the city will be equivalent
