Answer: The average age is 7.1 years.

This problem is an example of when we need to take a weighted average. We simply can't just find the average of 5 and 8, because there are different children of each each.

To start, lets multiply the total number of children by their individual ages.

6 x 5 = 30 years
14 x 8 = 112 years

There are 142 years among the 20 years, so divide 142 by 20. This gives us an average age of 7.1 years.

Answer:

  78.71 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

You're looking for the solution to ...

  d = 88

  0.0015r^2 +r = 88

  0.0015r^2 +r -88 = 0

Using the quadratic formula*, we find ...

  r = (-1 +√(1² -4(0.0015)(-88)))/(2×0.0015)

  r = (-1 +√1.528)/0.003 = 0.236123/0.003 = 78.7077

The speed of the car was about 78.71 mph.

_____

* The quadratic formula will also give a negative answer of about -745 mph, which is not relevant to the situation.

Whats the product of 6 and<br><br> q
nevsk [136]

Answer:

6q or 6 * q

Step-by-step explanation:

As you do not know what the value of the variable q is, you are essentially changing it from word form to expression form.

"product" in math means multiply, so you are multiplying 6 with q.

6q is your answer.

What value of p will make the expression below a perfect square? x^2 - x + P
shutvik [7]

Answer:

p = \frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

To make a perfect square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² - x, that is

x² + 2(- \frac{1}{2} )x + \frac{1}{4} with p = \frac{1}{4} , thus

x² - x = (x - \frac{1}{2} )² + \frac{1}4}
