1 answer:

3 0

To Solve MAD or the mean absolute deviation what you need to do is get the Mean so lets say you have the numbers 20,35,18,34,60,82,10, and 29 add them up to get 228. next divide by the amount of numbers 228/8 = 36 now to get the mean absolute deviation get the difference of each number, but some will be negative so we will turn them to positive Like so.
20-36=-16 turn to positive 16
36-35=1
36-18=18
36-34=2
60-34=24
82-34=46
36-10=26
and 36-29=7
you add up these numbers to get 140 then divide them by the numbers 140/8=17.5
so 17.5 is your mean absolute deviation.

For all of the questions with method thankyou

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

(i) 7/10

(ii) 3/10

(iii) 1/5

(iv) Rs 40,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction of the salary spent on food = 1/2

The fraction of the salary spent on rented house fee = 1/5

(i) The fraction spent for both food and rental fee = (1/2) + (1/5) = (5 + 2)/10 = 7/10

(ii) The remainder (rest) of the salary = 1 - 7/10 = 3/10

The fraction of the remainder spent for children's education = 1/3

The fraction of the total salary spent for the children's education = (1/3) × (3/10) = 1/10

(iii) The remaining portion deposited in the bank = 1 - (1/10 + 7/10)) = 2/10 = 1/5

(iv) The amount equal to portion of 1/5 of his salary deposited in the bank is Rs 8000

Let x represent his whole salary, we have;

(1/5) × x = Rs 8,000

x = 5 × Rs 8,000 = Rs 40,000

His whole salary is Rs 40,000.

Maddie bought 3 2/3 yards of satin ribbon at the craft store. She wanted to make hair bows for the cheer squad. Each bow require

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total yards of satin bought by Maddie = $3\frac{2}{3}$ yards

Number of yards required make one ribbon = $\frac{2}{3}$ yards

To find:

Number of complete bows that can be made ?

Solution:

First of all, let us learn about converting the mixed fraction to fractional form.

Formula:

$a\dfrac{b}{c} = \dfrac{a\times c+b}{c}$

Therefore, total yards of satin bought by Maddie can be written in fractional form as:

$3\dfrac{2}{3} = \dfrac{3\times 3+2}{3} = \dfrac{11}{3}$

One hair bow requires $\frac{2}{3}$ yards of ribbon.

Number of hair bows that can be made, can be found by dividing the total ribbon length by ribbon required for making one hair bow.

Answer is:

$\dfrac{\frac{11}{3}}{\frac{2}{3}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{11\times 3}{2\times 3}\\\approx 4$

4 hair bows can be made.
