<span> Suppose the # of litres in the small container is 'x'.
This would make '2x' litres of water in the larger container.
After taking 8 litres from both containers, the following equation can be written:

(2x-8) = 3 (x-8)

Open the brackets:

2x-8 = 3x-24

Collect like terms:

x = 16

There were 16 litres in the smaller container</span>

Plz help! Sam had an appointment 90 miles away from home at 2pm. He drove there at 60 mph, and was 15 minutes late. What time di
never [62]

Answer:

12:45 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find out the amount of time it takes to drive 90 miles at 60 mph.

speed = distance/time

time * speed = distance

time = distance/speed

time = 90 miles / 60 mph

time = 1.5 hour = 90 minutes

It takes 1.5 hour, or 90 minutes, to drive 90 miles at a speed of 60 mph.

To get there at 2:00 pm, he should have left at 12:30 pm.

He got there 15 minutes late, so he must have left 15 minutes late.

He left at 12:45 pm.

Answer: 12:45 pm

The number of patients treated at Dr. Artin’s dentist office each day was recorded for nine days. These are the data: 6, 6, 6, 5
klemol [59]

Answer:

D) 5.6, 6, 6, 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Before we start solving this problem, we need to first rearrange the provided data from smallest to greatest, so we get:

5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6

now we can find the mean. The mean is nothing but the average of the provided values, so we need to add them and then divide them into the total amount of data:

mean=\frac{5+5+5+5+6+6+6+6+6}{9}=5.6

next, in an odd number of data, the median is the middle number when written in order. In this case the middle number (the one in the position 5) is 6, so:

median=6

the mode will tell you what is the value that has the greatest number of occurrencies. This is the number that appears the most on our list.

Mode=6

and the range is the difference between the greatest value and the smallest value:

Range=6-5=1

so the answer is D.
