Answer:

Each apple pie requires 8 apples, and each apple tart requires 4 apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

We see that both Pamela and Nicole bake the same amount of apple pies, but different amounts of apple tarts. Because of this, we can subtract the two to try to figure out the amount of apples for each apple tart. We subtract 68 from 76, giving us 8. Nicole baked 9 apple tarts, while Pamela baked 7, and 9-7=2. So we can bake two apple tarts with 8 apples, so one apple tart requires 4 apples (we divide by 2). Now that we know the amount of apples per each apple tart, we multiply 7 apple tarts that Pamela made by 4 apples, giving us 28. We subtract that from the total amount of apples Pamela used, which was 68, giving us 40. From this we can deduct that 5 apple pies need 40 apples, and we divide by 5, giving us 1 apple pie requires 8 apples.

The dot plot below shows how many customers purchased different numbers of shirts at a sale last weekend.
scoray [572]

Answer:

the answer is 1.16 shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

the mean absolute deviation is found by finding the average of the difference between each data point and the mean of the data.

1st...find the mean of the data by adding all the numbers according to the data plotted and dividing the by the numbers listed; which in this case is 10

1 +2+ 2+ 3+ 3+ 3+ 4+ 4+ 5+ 6 = 3.3

mean is 3.3

then find the difference between the mean and each data point

Data Point =                       1      2     2      3     3       3      4      4     5      6

Difference from mean = 2.3    1.3   1.3  0.3  0.3   0.3   0.7    0.7   1.7   2.7

Find the average of these differences by adding the (differences from Mean) by 10

<u>2.3  + 1.3  + 1.3  + 0.3  + 0.3  + 0.3  + 0.7  + 0.7 +  1.7 + 2.7</u>

                                             10

the mean absolute deviations is 1.16 shirts

What is the unit rate of 15 laps in 3 days
Ivanshal [37]
The answer is going to be 5 laps per day because I did 15 laps/3days and divided each side by 3 which the answer is going to be 5/1 but it’s basically 5 since it’s going to be a whole number in this set. Therefore the unit rate of 15 laps in 3 days is going to be 5 laps per day.
