1. Sarah has an average of 92.5 for her 3 science tests. What does she need to make on the 4th test to get a 94% average.
1 answer:
1) set up a problem
you know you want to get an avg of 94 but how do you do avg in the first place. you add up the numbers then divde by the total number of numbers used lol
so
92.5 is the avg number for the last 3 tests
"x" is the 4th test score which we want to find out
"2" is the total number of numbers being added together
so now lets get x to one side
92.5+ x=94*2 (multiply 2 to both sides)
92.5+x=188
x=188-92.5 (subtract 92.5 from both sides)
x= 95.5 this is the score she need to make to avg 94%
2) you can draw a tree diagram. for example Flower1 branches off into 3 diff greens and then each of those greens branch off into 2 for with or with babies breath.
or you can simple multiply 4*3*2. you can do this because all choices are included with no restriction
your total number of options is 24
