Answer:  The correct option is (B) 1\dfrac{1}{2}.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Alice had 4\dfrac{1}{4} pounds of walnuts at the beginning of the week. At the end of the week, she had 2\dfrac{3}{4} pounds.

We are to find the quantity of walnuts that she had used.

We have

The quantity of walnuts that Alice has is

q_1=4\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{17}{4}~\textup{pounds}

and the quantity of walnut that she had at the end of the week is

q_2=2\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{11}{4}~\textup{pounds}.

Therefore, the quantity of walnut that she has used is given by

Q=q_1-q_2=\dfrac{17}{4}-\dfrac{11}{4}=\dfrac{6}{4}=\dfrac{3}{2}=1\dfrac{1}{2}.

Thus, the required quantity of walnut that she has used is 1\dfrac{1}{2}~\textup{pounds}.

Option (B) is CORRECT.

Which measure best represents the spread of the data shown below and what is its value? 10, 9, 8, 30, 7, 8, 9, 6, 7, 11
kenny6666 [7]
Lets put the numbers in order...
6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,11,30

Q1 = 7
Q2 = (8 + 9) / 2 = 17/2 = 8.5
Q3 = 10
IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 10 - 7 = 3 <== so the interquartile range is 3

mean absolute deviation...
the mean of our data is 10.5

now we subtract the mean from every data point....and find its absolute value

6 - 10.5 = -4.5.....| -4.5| = 4.5
7 - 10.5 = -3.5.....| -3.5| = 3.5
7 - 10.5 = -3.5.....|-3.5| = 3.5
8 - 10.5 = - 2.5....|-2.5| = 2.5
8 - 10.5 = -2.5....|-2.5| = 2.5
9 - 10.5 = -1.5....|-1.5| = 1.5
9 - 10.5 = -1.5....|-1.5| = 1.5
10 - 10.5 = -0.5..| -0.5| = 0.5
11 - 10.5 = 0.5...|0.5| = 0.5
30 - 10.5 = 19.5..|19.5| = 19.5

now we take the average of these numbers
(4.5+3.5+3.5+2.5+2.5+1.5 + 1.5 + 0.5+0.5+19.5) / 10 =
40/10 = 4 <== ur mean absolute deviation

In summary : 
ur interquartie range (IQR) of ur data set is 3
ur mean absolute deviation (MAD) of ur data set is 4

An Uber fare in Columbus is $3.50 for the first ½ mile and additional mileage charged at a rate of $0.30 for each additional 0.1
Alina [70]

If we consider the first half mile to be charged at $0.30 per tenth also, that half-mile costs $1.50 and the charges amount to a fixed fee of $2.00 and a variable fee of $0.30 per tenth mile.

After you subtract the $2 tip and the fixed $2 fee from the trip budget amount, you have $11.00 you can spend on mileage charges. At 0.30 per tenth mile, you can travel

... $11.00/$0.30 = 36 2/3 . . . . tenth-miles

The trip is measured in whole tenths, so you can ride ...

... 36 × 1/10 = 3.6 miles

_____

If you want to see this in the form of an equation, you can let x represent the miles you can travel. Then your budget amount gives rise to the inequality ...

... 3.50 + 0.30((x -.50)/0.10) + 2.00 ≤ 15.00

... 3.50 + 3x -1.50 +2.00 ≤15.00 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

... 3x ≤ 11.00 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, subtract 4

... x ≤ 11/3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

... x ≤ 3.6 . . . . . rounded down to the tenth
