Stella predicted that she would sell 56 sculptures. She actually sold 30 sculptures. What are the values of a and b in the table below? Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

a=26 / 56 and b = 46.4 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the Approximate value is given as = 56

While the Exact value is given as 30

Error

Absolute error= 56-30=26

Where Ratio= a= error/Approximate value=26/56

Percent error = b= 26/56×100%=46.4

-22

times both sides by 2, times () by 8, add alile terms, move terms, add alike and caculate divide both sides by 3

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
