Answer: 6.6 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Since he finished 22% of his skiing in the morning, that means he still has 78% (100% - 22%) of his skiing left.
The remaining 78% is equivalent to 23.4 miles. We need to know the total miles of the skiing. This will be:
78% of x = 23.4
0.78 × x = 23.4
0.78x = 23.4
x = 23.4 / 0.78
x = 30 miles
Since the total skiing is 30 miles and he has 23.4 miles left, the miles covered in the morning will be:
= 30 - 23.4
= 6.6 miles
Lowest Common Denominator refers to lowes t common multiple. These expressions have two terms 'x' and 'y' and we want to choose the expression that has the highest power such that the other expressions can be multiplied into the common denominator.
For the 'x' term, the highest power is x⁴ and for the 'y' term, the highest power is y⁵
Common denominator of A, B, C, and D: x⁴y⁵
x in terms of b:
-2(bx - 5) = 16
-2bx + 10 = 16
-2bx = 6
x = 6 / -2b
x = -3/b
--------------------------------
when b = 3 then
-2(3x - 5) = 16
-6x + 10 = 16
-6x = 6
x = -1
Answer
The value of x in terms of b is -3/b
The value of x when b is 3 is -1
If I understand what you are asking, you can use the median as an average since it is not affected by the mean ( median is a measure of center). Since a mean is affected by outliers, it might lower the score if there are very low outliers. But note that if there are outliers way <em>greater </em>it can increase the average. You can use the Inter Quartile Range if shown on a box plot ( measure of variability).
