A manatee eats the equivalent of about 12% if it’s body weight each day

1 answer:

8 0

First, write a statement to define your unknown variable. This is technically not essential to solving the problem, but many teachers prefer to see it.

Example: Let w = the manatee's weight in pounds.

Next, decide what the variable needs to be multiplied by. 12% is equal to 0.12. Usually when a problem says "of," it wants you to multiply. Therefore, 12% of the body weight equals 0.12w. Since the problem already says that this is how much the manatee eats every day, that is your answer.

y = 0.12w

The area of a rectangle garden is 38 1/4 Square meters the width of the garden is 4 1/2 meters. Find the length of the garden

maxonik [38]

Area of rectangle it's the width multiply by the lenth.

A=W*L

A=38 1/4 m²
W=4 1/2 m²

So: 38 1/4 = 4 1/2 * L
Dividing both sides by 4 1/2: : 4 1/2 :4 1/2
 $38\frac14\ :\ 4\frac12\ =\ L\\\\L=\frac{153}4\ :\ \frac{9}2\\\\L=\frac{153}4\ \cdot\ \frac2{9}\\\\L=\frac{17}{2}\cdot\ \frac1{1}\\\\L=8\frac12$

Answer: The length of the garden is 8 1/2 meters

What is the mean median mode range of 3,14,7,12,4,9,16,4,8,20

gogolik [260]

First, order the number set from least to greatest:

3 , 4 , 4 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 12 , 14 , 16 , 20

Mean: You find the mean by combining all the terms, and dividing by the amount of the terms there are in the number set:

(3 + 4 + 4 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 12 + 14 + 16 + 20)/10

(97)/10 = 9.7

Mean: 9.7

Median: You find the median by first ordering the number set from least to greatest, and finding the middle number. Note that if there is a even number of numbers in the set, you find the mean with the two given median digits:

8 & 9 are the median numbers:

(8 + 9)/2 = (17)/2 = 8.5

Median: 8.5

Mode: The mode is the number(s) in the set that shows up the most:

Mode: 4 (shows up one more time than all other numbers)

Range: The range can be found by subtracting the least number from the greatest number in the number set:

Range: 20 - 3 = 17

Range: 17

Find 4 consecutive even integers such that when three times the smallest of the intagers is added to twice the largest their sum

zhannawk [14.2K]

If x is the first of the integers then the statement is:

(x) , (x+2) , (x+4) , (x+6)

This means that the smallest is x and the largest is x + 6

so:
3(x) + 2(x+6) = 293
3x + 2x + 12 = 293
5x = 281
x = 56.2
This gives us a none integer (decimal)
What now?

Wait remember how x started as the lowest? what if x was the highest instead?

x, x-2, x-4, x-6
so:

3(x-6) + 2(x) = 293
5x = 315
x = 62.2

This is as close as have gotten to the answer
Cant seem to get an integer.
Maybe error in the question or some bad math on my part.
