Answer:

5 meters per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 60 seconds in 1 minute:

1 minute 20 seconds = 60 seconds + 20 seconds = 80 seconds.

Divide the amount of meters swam (400) with the total amount of seconds used (80) to get the average meters per second:

(400 meters)/(80 seconds) = 5 meters/second.

5 is your answer.

Answer:

5 MPS

Step-by-step explanation:

If Ciera can swin 400 meters in 1 minute and 20 seconds,

400 meters = 1 minute 20 seconds (1 1/3 minutes).

Divide both sides by 1 1/3.

400/ 1 1/3 = 300

Since it asks in seconds, divide by 60.

300/60=5

The number of electoral votes each state is assigned is determined by the size of its population every ten years. The chart show

sattari [20]

Answer:

D. $Q_3=47$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a table that represents the the number of electoral votes California was assigned each decade of the past century. We are asked to find the 3rd quartile of our given data.

The number of votes are: 9, 13, 13, 22, 25, 32, 40, 45, 47, 54, 55.

We will use upper quartile formula to solve our given problem.

$Q_3=\frac{3}{4}*(n+1)^{\text{th term}}$ , where, n represents the number of elements in the data set.

We can see that our data set has 11 data points, so upon substituting n=11 in above formula we will get,

$Q_3=\frac{3}{4}*(11+1)^{\text{th term}}$

$Q_3=\frac{3}{4}*(12)^{\text{th term}}$

$Q_3=3*3^{\text{th term}}$

$Q_3=9^{\text{th term}}$

Now let us count 9th term of our data set. Upon counting our data set from left to right we can see that 9th term of our data set is 47, therefore, 3rd quartile of our given data is 47 and option D is the correct choice.

Use addition to show how to find 16-9

Daniel [21]

It would be 9 + x =16
To solve it, subtract 9 from both sides of the equal sign
So (9+x)-9=16-9
Which is x=7, so the answer is 7.
