A biased example: Asking students who are in line to buy lunch
An unbiased example: Asking students who are leaving/going to lunch(<em>NOT buying </em><em>lunch</em><em />).
But in this case, the answer choices can be... confusing.
Don't panic! You're given numbers and, of course, your use of logic.
Answer choice A: 100 students grades 6-8
Answer choice B: 20-30 students any <em>one</em> grade<em></em><em>
</em>Answer choice C: 5 students
<em></em>Answer choice D: 50 students grade 8
An unbiased example would be to choose students from <em>any grade.</em> So we can eliminate choices B and D.
Now, the question wants to <em>estimate how many people at your middle school buy lunch.</em> This includes the whole entire school, and if you are going to be asking people, you aren't just going to assume that if 5 people out of 5 people you asked bought lunch, the whole school buys lunch.
So, to eliminate all bias and/or error by prediction, answer choice A, the most number of students, is your answer.
516 is the dividend, 3 is the divisor, 172 would be the quotient.
3 goes into 5 once with a 2 remainder, that 2 turns into 21 because of the 1 in 516 which 3 goes into seven times with a remainder of zero turning into 6, which 3 goes into twice, making the quotient 172.
172 times 3 is 516
Ok so the correct answers are both A. and B.
It would be A. between 1.5 and 2, because the number 1.77 is in between those two numbers. It is greater than 1.5 but also less than 2.
It would be B. to the right of 1.71, because the number 1.77 is greater than 1.71.
I hope this helps! Good luck on your homework!!
Answer:
12 fish
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to work this problem backwards. If he caught 30 fish, which was six more than twice the number he caught last year, you would start by subtracting six, leaving you with 24. Then you'd have to divide by 2, because it was twice plus six as many fish, which would give you 12 fish.
= x
= x
12 = x
