Answer:

  1.92, 3.84, 4.8, 5.76

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given set, the sum of the last two numbers is 5+6 = 11; the sum of the first two numbers is 2+4 = 6. The difference between these sums is 11-6 = 5.

You want to scale all the numbers by a factor of 4.8/5 = 0.96 so that the difference computed the same way is 4.8 instead of 5.

Then the numbers are ...

  0.96{2, 4, 5, 6} = {1.92, 3.84, 4.8, 5.76}

Answer:

\boxed{\text{1.92, 3.84, 4.80, and 5.76}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers  must be in the ratio 2:4:5:6.

Let's call them 2x, 4x, 5x, and 6x. Then

5x + 6x =  11x = sum of last two numbers

2x + 4x =    6x = sum of first two numbers

According to the condition,

11x – 6x = 4.8

        5x = 4.8

          x = 0.96

2x = 1.92; 4x = 3.84; 5x = 4.80; 6x = 5.76

The numbers are \boxed{\textbf{1.92, 3.84, 4.80, and 5.76}}

Check:

(4.80 + 5.76) – (1.92 + 3.84) = 4.8

     10.56       –       5.76       = 4.8

                              4.8         = 4.8

OK.

I need help with this maths question
ella [17]
If we simply it, then it would be
3 + 2x + 6 + x = 15, which equals
3x + 6 + 3 = 15,
3x + 9 = 15,
if we subtract 9 from 15, we get 6. If we divide 3x by 3, and 6 by 3, we get 2.
Therefore x = 2, and we know there is a 10/15 chance to get a humbug, or a 1/3 chance.
Hope this helped.

Felix has a bucket of golf balls. The table shows the number of golf balls of each color in the bucket.
disa [49]
It should be A because most of the balls are green so there is a higher chance of picking green than all the other colors.

Tara has four favorite CDs the length of the CDs are 45 minutes 52 minutes and 38 minutes and 47 minutes what is the median leng
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Your answer is 46 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation: By doing the median of the numbers you order the pairs from least to greatest. 38, 45, 47, 52. You find the middle number if its an even number of pairs you pick the two middle most numbers and add them together.

45 + 47= 92

Then you divide the sum by the number of pairs. Which we have 2 pairs.

92/2 = 46 hence your answer will be 46 minutes.
