16 balls. 

Let's call x the total number of golf balls that Ricardo had before he lost the first 6 balls. (x - 6).
Then he bought 12 more and lost 4 so basically 12 - 4 = 8
Add that to the equation: (x-6) + 8
And now that he has 18 golf balls at end of the second day the total must add to 18.

Full equation: (x-6) + 8 = 18

(x-6) + 8 = 18
(x-6) = 18 - 8 <-- Transpose
(x-6) = 10
16 - 6 = 10 <-- What would x have to be inoder to make this equation true? 16!
So x = 16

16 is the number of golf balls the Ricardo began with.

Triss [41]

Hi!

The answer to your question is 9.75 minutes

Here is the math to prove it:

9+11+3+14+14+7+14+6=78

Now you will take 78 and divide it by 8

This is because when finding the mean you add all of the given number together and then divide them by the amount of number added together.

78/8=9.75

Thus, your answer is 9.75 minutes

I hope this helped!

Have a wonderful day/night!

God bless!

What is the surface area and volume? PLEASE EXPLAIN IN DETAIL.
Effectus [21]

Check the picture below.

so to find the surface area of the triangular prism, we simply add the areas of each of the figures composing it, as you can see is really just 2 triangles an 3 rectangles.

\bf \stackrel{\textit{\Large Areas}}{\stackrel{triangles}{2\left[ \cfrac{1}{2}(4)(3) \right]}+\stackrel{\textit{rectangles}}{(3\cdot 10)+(4\cdot 10)+(5\cdot 10)}}\implies 12+30+40+50\implies 132

now, to get the volume is simply the area of the triangular face times the length, well, we know the area of one of the triangles is 6, times 10 is just 6*10 = 60.
