There's a lot of ways to solve this and get the same answer. No matter what, you definitely need to convert feet an yards.

Starting with what you know, one balloon needs 2.5 feet of ribbon.

You also know that three feet make a yard.

Your final answer asks for yards of ribbon for 18 balloons.

So, some ways to solve would be:

1. Multiply 2.5 by 18. That would end up being 45 feet for 18 balloons. You want yards. Yards are bigger than feet, and so you would want to divide. 45 divided by 3 is 15 yards for 18 balloons.

You could also do:

2. Convert first. 2.5 feet would be not a whole number of yards, but you would do 2.5 divided by 3. It would be a decimal ( you could find out in a calculator ) then, multiply by 18 for the number of balloons and you get 15 yards for 18 balloons.

The answer would ultimately be 15.

A set of a thousand numbers has a mean of zero.

Alona [7]

We want to find the mean of two elements in a set, given that we know the other elements of the set and the mean of the whole set.

The answer is: -490

-----------------------------

For a set with N elements {x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ} the mean is given by:

$M = \frac{x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_n}{N}$

Here we know that:

The mean of the set is 0.
The set has 1000 elements.
998 of these elements are ones, the other two are A and B.

We want to find the mean of the values of A and B.

First, we can start by writing the equation for the mean:

$\frac{1 + 1 + 1 + ... A + B}{1000} = 0$

We can rewrite this as:

$1 + 1 + 1 +... + A + B = 0$

And we have 998 ones, then:

$1 + 1 + 1 +... + A + B = 998 + A + B = 0\\\\B = - 998 - A$

Now we have B isolated.

With this, the mean of A and B can be written as:

$\frac{A + B}{2} = \frac{A - 980 - A}{2} = -490$

So we can conclude that the mean of the other two numbers is -490.

Kate wants to spend less than $100 per day to rent a car. A car rents for $45 per day plus $0.25 per mile. Write, solve, and gra

Bezzdna [24]

Money to be spent per day <$100
To rent a car:
Minimum amount per day= $45
Amount per mile= $0.25

Hence amount spent depends on distance travelled.
If distance travelled= x; fee for travel= 0.25x

Hence finally we need the fare to be less than $100
And fare is $45+0.25x

So the final inequality is 0.25x+45<100.

Hope it helps.
