The median of a data set is the 'middle number'. You can find the median by listing the given numbers from least to greatest (left to right) and finding the middle number.
8, 10, 10, 10, 11, 12, 14, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18
Cross one out on each side before getting to your last number that should be in the middle.
The middle numbers are: 12 and 14. If it was only one number, we could already have the answer, but since it is two numbers in the middle, we need to add them up and divide by 2.
12 + 14 = 26
26 ÷ 2 = 13
So, the median of the data set is: 13.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
What we need to know simply is the time taken for both trips. We know the car spent 6 hours on the first leg, that is settled.
What we do not know is the time spent on the second leg. To get the time spent on the second leg of the journey, we only need to get the total distance divided by the speed.
We can get the distance using the first part of the question. The time is 6 hours and the speed is x miles per hour, the total distance is this 6x miles.
Now we need to know the time spent on the second leg of the journey. We know that the distance is the same. Hence the time spent is 6x/y where y is the speed for the second leg and 6x is the length of each leg
Now the total time spent is thus (6x/y +6) hours. We need to however convert this to minutes. We do this by multiplying by 60
(6x/y + 6) * 60
Answer:
multiply the factor 2 with each term inside the parentheses
