There are 9 boys and 6 girls in a hall, each holding coins in their hand. The mean number of coins for the children is 18 The me
Orlov [11]

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

Average = total number of coins / number of students

If the mean number of coins with boys is 14, the total number of coins held by boys =  14 x 9 = 126

The total number of coins held by the students = total number of children x average number of coins held by the children

15 x 18 = 270

The total number of coins held by girls = 270 - 126 =144

The mean  number of coins for the girls = 144 / 6 = 24

Which of the following terms can be combined in this expression? -3-x/5+6.2y+20.5x-3/8y
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

-\frac{x}{5} and 20.5x

-\frac{3}{8}y and 6.2y

Step-by-step explanation:

-3-x/5+6.2y+20.5x-3/8y

-3-\frac{x}{5}+6.2y+20.5x- \frac{3}{8} y

We are given an expression with 5 terms

The terms that has same variables with same exponent are like terms. WE combine only like terms. Constants are also like terms.

In the given expression , the fractions -\frac{x}{5} and 20.5x have same 'x' . so they are like terms. we can combine these terms.

the fractions -\frac{3}{8}y and 6.2y have same 'y' . so they are like terms. we can combine these terms.
