2+1=3
15/3=5
split the 3 5's in ratio 2:1 and you get 10:5
Answer: Yes. The new average is 3
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
25 students at 3 siblings each = 75 siblings
26 students has 75 siblings + 8 siblings = 83 siblings
New average is 83 siblings ÷ 26 students = 3.19 siblings per students
Answer:
98 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a couple of ways you can think about this one. Perhaps easiest is to treat it as a square with a triangle cut out of it. The cutout triangle has a base (across the top) of 14 ft and a height of 14 ft, so its area is ...
A = (1/2)(14 ft)(14 ft) = 98 ft²
Of course the area of the square from which it is cut is ...
A = (14 ft)² = 196 ft²
So, the net area of the two triangles shown is ...
A = (196 ft²) - (98 ft²) = 98 ft²
_____
Another way to work this problem is to attack it directly. Let the base of the left triangle be x. Then the base of the right triangle is 14-x, and their total area is ...
A = A1 + A2 = (1/2)(x ft)(14 ft) + (1/2)((14-x) ft)(14 ft)
We can factor out 7 ft to get ...
A = (7 ft)(x ft + (14 -x) ft)
A = (7 ft)(14 ft) = 98 ft²
