Coffee beans are packaged in 60 kg cartons with an allowable error of 0.8%. What is the acceptable weight range for a carton of coffee beans?

PLEASE HELP

60 to 61.5kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

mass of carton= 60kg

Allowable error of 0.8%

The acceptable weight in percent is

100-0.8= 99.2%

Hence they will accept between

99.2% and 100%

in weight we have

=99.2/100*62

=0.992*62

=61.5kg

The range is between 60 to 61.5kg

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
