Answer:

Answer: (B) 3

Step-by-step explanation:

20x + 15(2x) + 10(3x) = 40

20x + 30x + 30x = 40

80x = 40

x = 40/80

x = 1/2

Find the amount of lobster

Lobster = x = 1/2 pound

Find the amount of crab:

Crab = 2x = 2(1/2) = 1 pound

Find the amount of Shrimp:

Shrimp = 3x = 3(1/2) = 3/2 pounds

Find the total pounds of seafood:

Total = 1/2 + 1 + 3/2 = 3 pounds

Answer: (B) 3

"More than 60% of the students scored below the mean on the last test." Can this statement be true? Why or why not?
Lelu [443]
The mean is the average of a set of numbers.

So if the remaining 40% of students score 100 points, and the 60% score like 50 points, then the mean would still be 70 points because of the 40% of students that scored super high.

So yes, it can be true.
