Also, I got lazy with the questions, sorry.
Btw, bot, I'm not talk to you; i'm taking to the real people
but have a great day or night, including you, bot
No problem at all! If you have any further questions or need assistance with anything, feel free to ask. Have a wonderful day or night as well!
To determine the reasonableness of solutions, we can analyze the given information and consider the context of the problem. Let's go through each question and explanation to find the best estimate for x and the total number of cells.
1. Equation: -2x + 902 = 1518
To find the value of x, we can solve the equation:
-2x = 1518 - 902
-2x = 616
x = 616 / -2
x ≈ -308
Given the answer choices, the closest estimate to -308 is -300. Therefore, the solution of x ≈ -300 is reasonable.
2. Total number of cells in three petri dishes:
22,340 + 43,560 + 36,612 = 102,512
From the answer choices, the closest estimate to 102,512 is 100,000. Therefore, the estimate of 100,000 is reasonable for the total number of cells.
3. Estimate: 200 * 75
By multiplying 200 and 75, we get the result:
200 * 75 = 15,000
The answer choice of 15,000 is correct and reasonable.
4. Estimate: 12,500 * 10.4
By multiplying 12,500 and 10.4, we get the result:
12,500 * 10.4 = 130,000
The answer choice of 130,000 is correct and reasonable.
5. Estimate: 7 * 1.5 + 5
By evaluating the expression, we get:
7 * 1.5 + 5 = 16.5 + 5 = 21.5
The answer choice of 10 is not reasonable since it is significantly smaller than the evaluated expression, which is 21.5.
Overall, we have determined the reasonableness of the solutions based on the given information and calculations.
