Answer:  3 is the weighted average

Step-by-step explanation:

A weighted average is sort of like it sounds. - Different data-points are given different weights as far as how much they affect the answer. It's like you had 4 people on a corporation's board and all four get to vote, but their votes count differently. Person A has a vote that counts as 3. Person B has a vote that counts as 2 votes. Persons C & D each have a vote that counts as just one vote. For peron A to get outvoted, all the others must gang up against him.

Okay, back to our actual problem ...

  • point E measures (-1) and has weight 2x weight of F
  • point F has a measure of 2 and no particular stated weight
  • point G measures 6 and has a weight of 3x weight of F

Since we can assign a weight to point F and the other weights will be based on that, let's just keep it simple and give point F a weight of 1.

That gives E a weight of 2, and G a weight of 3.

So, ...

E value times E weight is   (-1)   x   2 = -2

F value times F weight is      2   x   1 =   2

G value times G weight is   6   x   3 = 18

          Sum of (value x weight)  =  18

          Sum of the weights = 2 + 1 + 3 = 6

WE get the weighted average by taking the sum of (value x weight) products (18) and then dividing by the sum of the weights (6).

18/6 = 3, the weighted average

The point at coordinate 3 represents the weighted average.

What is 1.13 (where the three is repeating) written as a fraction? Someone pleaseee help!
Bess [88]

Answer:

13/90

Step-by-step explanation:

The decimal that you wrote is mixed non terminal decimal. Which means all the number don't repeat themselves.

The denominator of a non terminating decimal is always 9 even though it depends on the type of the decimal, whether it is simple or mixed

The denominator of the given decimal is 90. The denominator is 2 digit number since the given decimal is also 2 digit decimal even though it is under repeating bars.

And the numerator is 10, 13-3.

We subtract 3 since it is the one repeating itself.

Hope it helps ;) ❤❤❤

What is the surface area of the figure?
likoan [24]
We can split it up into a net
actually, here is a hack

notice that indented side?
we can take the plane and push it so it makes 4 sides, neat

ok, so we now just have 4 normal sides and 2 L shapes

L shape can be cut into 2 rectangles
5 by 5 and 5 by 10 so total of 75 is the L
2 L's so
2*75=150

the sides
4 of them
they all are 10 by 3
10*3*4=120

toatl is 150+120=270

answer is A
