The average rainfall for the four months is 3 27/40 inches

<h3>How to find the average rainfall for the four months?</h3>

The rainfall amounts are given as:

June 2 1/2 inches, July 3 1/4 inches, August 4 1/5 and September 4 3/4 inches.

The average rainfall for the four months is calculated as:

Average = Sum of rainfall/Number of months

So, we have

Average = (2 1/2 + 3 1/4 + 4 1/5 + 4 3/4)/4

Evaluate the sum

Average = (14 7/10)/4

Evaluate the quotient

Average = 3 27/40

Hence, the average rainfall for the four months is 3 27/40 inches

At best buy they have a 42" TV that sells for $1250 and is on sale for 15% off. What

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

If the television is on sale for 15%, that means that the selling price before tax will be 100 - 15 = 5% of the original price.

1250 * 0.85 = $1062.5 ... this is your selling price BEFORE tax

Now, calculate your tax.

You would pay (1062.5) + (1062.5 * 0.065)

= 1062.5 + 69.06 (your tax)

= 1131.56 dollars

A candy store sells walnuts for $8 per pound, and pecans for $2 per pound. If the store wants to create a bag of mixed nuts that

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer: 1/3 pound pecans and 2/3 pound walnuts.

Explanation:

x ==> weight of walnuts
y ==> weight of pecans

║ x + y = 1
║ 8x +2y = 6

║ x = 1 - y
║ 8x + 2y = 6

8(1 - y) + 2y = 6

8 - 8y + 2y = 6

6y = 2

y = 1/3

x = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3

explain whether rounding or compatible numbers gives a closer estimate for the product of 48 times 123 equals 5904

SIZIF [17.4K]

The compatible numbers (numbers you can easily use and calculate in your head) for 48 and 123 would be 50 and 100. 50 x 100= 5,000. Rounding would be 50 and 120. 50 x 120= 6,000. So rounding would provide a closer estimate.
