Answer:

74°F

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the average of a certain amount of numbers, you add those numbers together and divide by how many numbers there are. In this case, you would reverse that method to find the last number. We know that there were four readings, and we have three of them and the average. Multiply the average (84.75) by the number of readings (4), and you get the sum of all the readings (339). Then you subtract each of the readings that you already know to isolate the last reading. 339 - 112 (first reading) = 227, 227 - 68 (second reading) = 159, and 159 - 85 (fourth reading) = 74. Therefore, the third reading must be 74.

Find the area of a circle with a<br> circumference of 11(pi)feet.
dlinn [17]

Answer:

30.25pi in terms of pi

94.985 In terms of 3.14

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay since the circumference is 11pi we know d = 11.

Meaning r = 5.5

We can solve this in terms of pi or 3.14, for this I will use both.

The formula for an area of a circle is pi*r^2

So,

5.5 * 5.5 = 30.25.

In terms of pi, the answer would be 30.25pi

In terms of 3.14 the answer would be 94.985

Help me please can you model this for me I need SERIOUS HELP ASAP? And correct my answer PLEASE and thank you!
Maksim231197 [3]

What do I need to find?

Your answer is correct.

What information do I need to use?

100% = 240 miles, she has already driven 15% of 240, so she has driven x miles.

How will I use the information?

Set up a proportion. If she has already driven 15% out of 100% of the distance, then you should write \frac{15}{100} for the first fraction. This is proportional to \frac{x(miles)}{240(miles)}. This means that \frac{15}{100} = \frac{x}{240}. Wait, but this is confusing. How on Earth do we solve it? Let's take a closer look. If \frac{x}{240} is supposed to equal 15/100, then this means that x/240 divided by 15/100 should give us the answer. So, even though it looks complicated, all you have to do is cross multiply like this:

\frac{15}{100} = \frac{x}{240} --> 240 * 15 = 100x --> 3600 = 100x

Now isolate x:

\frac{3600}{100} = \frac{100x}{100}

So x = 36, which means she has already driven 36 out of 240 miles. Lucia still has to drive 204 miles to reach her destination.

1.) In this case, 56 = 100% and 25% of the sandwiches were tuna. This means that 75% of the sandwiches were not. If \frac{25}{100} = \frac{x}{56} and you use the same method above, x is equal to 14. If 14 is 25% then that means the other 75% = 14 * 3. So 42 sandwiches were not tuna.

2.) \frac{60}{100} = \frac{x}{450}

--> 27000 = 100x

---> \frac{27000}{100} = \frac{100x}{100}

He still has $270 left to pay.

Find the value of 6t -q<br> When t= -3 and q = -5
Natali5045456 [20]

The value of 6t - q when t = -3 and q = -5 is -13

Find 6t - q

when t = -3 and q = -5, the value of 6t - q can be found as follows:

<h3>What is substitution:</h3>

Substitution simply means to put in place of another.

Therefore, let substitute the value of t and q in the equation 6t - q and solve. Therefore,

  • 6t - q
  • 6(-3) - (-5)
  • -18 + 5
  • -13
