1.A mathmatics book with 200pages in 10mm thick. If the relative error is 1/500,fing the maximum absolute rreor of each page.
Since, Relative Error= Maximum Absolute Error / Actual Value
Let x mm be the Maximum Absolute Error
x / 10mm = 1 / 500
500x = 10mm
x=0.02
Therefore, Maximum Absolute Error is 0.02mm 2.If 開方2=1.414,without using a calculator,fing the value of 4 / 開方32
Since 開方32 = 4 x 開方2
Therefore, 4 / 開方32
= 4 / (4 x 開方2)
= 4 / 4 x 1.414
=4 / 5.656
= 0.707(cor. to 3 sig. fig.)3.The sum of two numbers is 143 and their difference is 9.Find these two numbers.Let the large number be x,the small number be y
Let x+y=143 be the first equation
Let x-y=9 be the second equation
equation 1 + equation 2
2x=152
x=76
substitute x=76 into equation 1
76+y=143
y=67
Therefore x equals 76 and y equals 67. 4.If a=2b and b=5c,find the ratio a:b:c
a=2b b=5c
a/b=2/1 b/c=5/1
a:b=2:1 b:c=5:1
a:b=2:1 b:c=5:1
a:b:c = 2x5:1x5:1x2
a:b:c=10:5:25.135 sweets are divided among A and B in the ratio of 2:7.How many sweets does each person get?
A gets: 135 x 2 / 2+7
= 30 sweets
B gets: 135x 7 / 2+7
= 105 sweets
Therefore A and B gets 30 sweets and 105 sweets respectively.6.The total salaries of A,B and C are $34000.If A's salary:B's salary =3:2 and B's salary : C's salary =3:1,find how much salarydoes each person get.
A's salary:B's salary =3:2 and B's salary : C's salary =3:1
A's salary:B's salary:C's salary = 9:6:2
A gets: $34000 x 9 / 17
= $18000
B gets: $34000 x 6 / 17
= $12000
C gets: $34000 x 2 / 17
= $4000
Therefore, A gets $18000, B gets $12000, C gets $4000[ 此帖被bon1在2008-07-15 00:58重新編輯 ]
