Solution Steps

Step 1: Understand the Problem

The problem asks which pipe (A or B) would be more accurately measured using a fraction of the scale provided. The scale is divided into thirds (1/3, 2/3, 3/3).

Step 2: Analyze the Lengths of the Pipes
  • Pipe A extends from 0 to 2/3 of the scale.
  • Pipe B extends from 0 to 1/3 of the scale.
Step 3: Determine the Accuracy of Measurement
  • Pipe A's length is 2/3 of the scale.
  • Pipe B's length is 1/3 of the scale. Since the scale is divided into thirds, measuring a length that aligns exactly with these divisions (like 1/3 or 2/3) will be more accurate.

Final Answer

Pipe A.

An closed box with a square base is to have a volume of 2900 cm^3. What should the dimensions of the box be if the amount of material used is to be minimum? (Use decimal notation. Give your answers to three decimal places.) Recall: The surface area of a rectangular box is: SA=2 * l * w+2 * l * h+2 * w * h, where l= length, w= width, and h= height. The volume of a box is: V=l * w * h. square base side length: cm height: cm

The incubation time for a breed of chicks is normally distributed with a mean of 22 days and standard deviation of approximately 3 days. Look at the figure below and answer the following questions. If 1,000 eggs are being incubated, how many chicks do we expect will hatch in the following time periods? (Note: In this problem, let us agree to think of a single day or a succession of days as a continuous interval of time. Assume all eggs eventually hatch.) (a) in 16 to 28 days chicks (b) in 19 to 25 days chicks (c) in 22 days or fewer chicks (d) in 13 to 31 days chicks

The cost C, in millions of dollars, of producing q items is given by C=4.1+0.002 q. Interpret the 4.1 and the 0.002 in terms of production. Interpretation of 4.1: NOTE: Check all the correct interpretations. The 4.1 represents the fixed cost of 4.1 million. The 4.1 represents the fixed cost of 4.1. The 4.1 is the cost of producing zero units. The 4.1 is the cost in million of producing zero units.
