1 part = 24 cakes
5 parts = 24 x 5 = 120

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Find number of apple cakes
--------------------------------------------------------------------
1 part = 24 cakes
4 parts = 24 x 4 = 96 

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Total number of cakes 
--------------------------------------------------------------------

20=v+9-16               Equation

20=(v)+(9+-16)        Combine \ like \ terms

20=v+-7

20=v-7            

v-7=20 

v-7+7=20+7     \ Add \ 7 \ to \ both \ sides

v=27                 Solution

13) How do you know when to use the mean or median as the best measure of center?​
scoray [572]

Answer:

The mean is the most common measure of center. It is what most people think of when they hear the word "average". However, the mean is affected by extreme values so it may not be the best measure of center to use in a skewed distribution. The median is the value in the center of the data.

In the Kite Club, there are a total of 17 kids. There are 5 more girls than boys. Write two equations and graph to find the numb
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

6 boys and 11 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

hello,

let 's note x the number of boys and y the number of girls, we can write two equations

"there are a total of 17 kids"

(1)  x + y  = 17

"There are 5 more girls than boys"

(2) y = x + 5

We can replace (2) in (1) it comes

x + x + 5 = 17

<=> 2x = 17-5 = 12

<=> x = 6

and then y = 11

So, there are 6 boys and 11 girls

graphs below

hope this helps

-3/4(4x+12)&lt; - (2x+8)
Dovator [93]

Answer:

x>-1

Step-by-step explanation:

We will assume that here the question prompt us to solve the Inequality given and find the value of x for which is true and valid.

To begin with, let us re write our inequality clear as:

-\frac{3}{4}(4x+12)    Eqn(1).

Now, since this is an Inequality it must be noted that <em><u>for any operation of multiplication/devision</u></em> with a<u> </u><u><em>Negative number</em></u>, the order of the Inequality will change from ≤ to ≥ and vice versa.

So having said that, let us solve Eqn(1) and obtain a value for x as follow:

\frac{3}{4}(4x+12)>(2x+8)              Remove Negative sign from both signs and change order of inequality from < to >.

\frac{12}{4}x+\frac{36}{4}>2x+8                Factor Out Bracket on Left Hand Side

\frac{12}{4}x+\frac{36}{4}>\frac{8}{4}x+\frac{32}{4}             Make Common Denominator on Both Sides

12x+36>8x+32             Eliminate denominator to simplify and remove fractions

12x-8x>32-36             Gather equal terms on each side

4x>-4                              Simplify

x>-1                              Solve for x

<em>Thus solving the inequality gives that x is greater than -1:</em>

<em> i.e. </em>x>-1
