Answer:

The least amount of prizes Mrs Drennan needs to buy = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

She likes to keep at least three times as many prizes in the bag as she has students.

If number of students is n, number of prizes she has = 3 n

Given that Mrs. drennan has 26 students

That is n = 26

Number of prizes needed = 3n = 3 x 26 = 78

Number of prizes she has = 72

Minimum prizes she need to buy = 78 - 72 = 6

The least amount of prizes Mrs Drennan needs to buy = 6

3. Six less than twice a number is 17. Which equation could be used to determine the
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

n represents our number. So, twice a number would be 2n because twice means multiply by two.

When the problem says 6 less, then it means 6 less than 2n. So, it would look like 2n-6.

FInally, the problem says that all of this equals 17 so 17 would be the result.

So, you answer is 2n-6 = 17. This is answer choice B.

To make a box and whisker plot, first you write down all of the numbers from least to greatest.

0, 1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 10

The median is 4, so that’s the middle line of the plot.

So now we have:
0, 1, 3, [4,] 7, 8, 10

So next we have to find the 1st and 3rd interquartiles..
0, [1,] 3, [4,] 7, [8,] 10

Those are the next 2 points you put on the plot.

Lastly, the upper and lower extremes. These are the highest and lowest numbers in the data.
[0,] 1, 3, 4, 7, 8, [10]

These are the final points on the plot.

To make the box of a box-and-whisker plot, you plot the 3 Medians of the data: 1, 4, and 8, and connect those to make a box that has a line in the middle at 4.

Next, you plot the upper and lower extremes: 0 and 10, by making “whiskers” that connect to the box. So you draw a line from the extremes to the box.

Points A, B, and C are collinear. Point B is between A and C. Find the length indicated. AB= 5x-15, BC=3x-5, and AC=28. Find AB
katrin2010 [14]

Answer: AB is 15

Step-by-step explanation: First, you need to draw a picture and label the parts of the line: AB=5x-15; BC= 3x-5; AC =28. Because of the segment addition postulate, you set the equation to be 5x-15+3x-5=28. Then you solve:

5x-15+3x-5=28

Add like terms:

8x-20=28

Add 20 to both sides

8x=48

Divide by 8

x=6

Now, you need to find the measure of AB, so you plug the 6 into the x variable for 5x-15

5(6)-15

30-15

AB=15
