The man travelled in different ways: by rail, by taxi, by ___ and by foot. I placed a blank there because there seems to be a missing word in the given problem above. For sample purposes, let's just assume that is travel by bus.

Since all of these travels are equal to 1 whole journey, you can express each travel as a fraction. When you add them up, the answer would be 1. So,

3/8 + 1/4 + 1/8 + x = 1

The variable x here denotes the fraction of his travel by foot. We are only given the exact distance travelled on foot which is 2 km. We have to find the fraction of the travel by foot to determine the length of the total distance travelled. Solving for x,

x = 1 - 3/8 - 1/4 - 1/8
x = 1/4

That means that the travel by foot comprises 1/4 of the whole journey. Thus,

Let total distance be D.

1.4*D = 2 km
D = 8 km

Therefore, the man travelled a total of 8 kilometers.

2. At the local park, there is an annual fair that
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

132 children and 88 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

let x represent the amount of kids and y represent the amount of adults.

since the problem says there was a total of 220 people at the fair an equation can be made

x+y=220

the problem tells that each childrens ticket was 1.5$ and each adult ticket was $4 and that a total of $550 was made that day, we can use the knowledge to make an equation:

1.5x + 4y = 550

using the equations we can make this systems of equations:

1.5x + 4y =550

x + y =220

solve the systems of equations by subracting y on both sides of th bottom equation:

x=220-y

since x is equivant to 220-y it can be substitued for x in the first equation to make this:

1.5(220-y)+4y =550

--solve for y--

y=88  - there were 88 adults

substute 88 for y in the second equation

x+88=220

--solve for x--

x=138 - there were 132 children

The following list contains the average annual total returns (in percentage points) for 9 mutual funds. The mutual funds appear
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Mean =25.78

Median =20

Step-by-step explanation:

given that the following list contains the average annual total returns (in percentage points) for 9 mutual funds. The mutual funds appear in an online brokerage firm's "all-star" list.

40, 30, 6, 10, 30, 18, 15, 20, 36

Let us find the sum of these 9 entries

Sum = 205

a) Mean = \frac{205}{9} =22.78

b) Median of this data set is the middle entry after arranging in ascending order

Here it would be the 5th entry

6,10, 15, 18,20, 30, 30, 36, 40

Median = 20
