True [87]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

  300

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of adults in the zoo at 12 pm. Then the number of children at that time is 855 -x.

The number of remaining children is 1/5 of the number at 12 pm, so is ...

  (855 -x)/5

The number of remaining adults is 1/4 of the number at 12 pm, so is ...

  x/4

There are 36 more remaining children, so we have ...

  (855 -x)/5 -x/4 = 36

  171 -9x/20 = 36 . . . . . collect terms

  135 = 9x/20 . . . . . . . . add (9/20)x-36

  (20/9)(135) = x = 300 . . . . . multiply by 20/9

There were 300 adults in the zoo at 12 pm.

Anyoneee?? Mean Median and mode
juin [17]

Answer:

mode is the most occuring number which is in this case 11

you get the median by putting them in order from least to greatest and them marking them out until you get to the middle but if there are two numbers in the middle you add them and then divide by two and that is your median but in this case your median is 11

you get the mean by adding all the numbers together and dividing by how many numbers there are so in this case you are dividing by 9 and when you add oall of these numbers together you get 98 and 98/9 is 10.8888888889 which you would round and get 10.9

hope this helps
