D=rt
r=(boatrate+riverrate)=(x+2)mph
d=528ft=528/5280mi=1/10mi
t=1/3hr
remember to keep the same units
so
1/10=(x+2)(1/3)
times both sides by 3
3/10=x+2
minus 2 or 20/10
-17/10=x
-1.7=x
it would be going -1.7mph (means going backwards)
29 + (-37) = 29 - 37
answer is C. 29 - 37
I would have to say A - Mean; because the data is skewed and there are outliers.
This is because the median of this would not be accurate for the number of kids that read no books and the random three kids that read ten. Mean, however, would find the true median within the plot and utilize and take into account the outliers and how skewed the data is.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
22% reduction
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the percent decrease by dividing the difference in amounts by the original amount.
Find the difference:
115 - 90 = 25
Divide this by the original amount:
25/115
= 0.217
So, the percent decrease is 21.7%. Round this to the nearest whole percentage:
= 22
The percent reduction in fuel used was approx. 22%
