Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the width W and the length L.

We know the width is 3 less than the length, so:

W = L - 3

And we know the area is 28, so:

28 = WL

If we solve for L in the first equation:

L = W + 3

And substitute into the second equation:

28 = W (W + 3)

28 = W² + 3W

0 = W² + 3W - 28

0 = (W + 7) (W - 4)

W = -7, 4

Since W can't be negative, W = 4 units.

Answer:

mean=10.625=10.6

median=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean

The word mean, which is a homonym for multiple other words in the English language, is similarly ambiguous even in the area of mathematics. Depending on the context, whether mathematical or statistical, what is meant by the "mean" changes. In its simplest mathematical definition regarding data sets, the mean used is the arithmetic mean, also referred to as mathematical expectation, or average. In this form, the mean refers to an intermediate value between a discrete set of numbers, namely, the sum of all values in the data set, divided by the total number of values. The equation for calculating an arithmetic mean is virtually identical to that for calculating the statistical concepts of population and sample mean, with slight variations in the variables used

Median

The statistical concept of the median is a value that divides a data sample, population, or probability distribution into two halves. Finding the median essentially involves finding the value in a data sample that has a physical location between the rest of the numbers. Note that when calculating the median of a finite list of numbers, the order of the data samples is important. Conventionally, the values are listed in ascending order, but there is no real reason that listing the values in descending order would provide different results. In the case where the total number of values in a data sample is odd, the median is simply the number in the middle of the list of all values. When the data sample contains an even number of values, the median is the mean of the two middle values. While this can be confusing, simply remember that even though the median sometimes involves the computation of a mean, when this case arises, it will involve only the two middle values, while a mean involves all the values in the data sample. In the odd cases where there are only two data samples or there is an even number of samples where all the values are the same, the mean and median will be the same

Multiplying mixed numbers and whole numbers 1 1/2 x 2/1 =
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Convert the mixed number to fraction:

- Multiply the denominator of the fraction by the whole number.

- Add the product obtained and the numerator of the fraction.

- Write the sum obtained as the numerator and rewrite the original denominator of the fraction.

Then:

1\ 1/2=\frac{(1)(2)+1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}

2. Multiply the numerators.

3. Multiply the denominator.

4. Reduce the fraction.

Then:

(\frac{3}{2})(\frac{2}{1})=\frac{6}{2}=3

A car is traveling at 47 mph. If its tires have a diameter of 27 inches, how fast are the car's tires turning? Express the answe
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

3676.44 rad/min

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a problem about the angular speed of the car's wheel.

You can calculate the angular speed by using the following formula, which relates the tangential speed of the wheels (the same as the speed of the car) with the angular speed:

\omega=\frac{v}{r}    ( 1 )

v: speed of the car = tangential speed of the wheels = 47mph

r: radius of the wheels = 27/2 in = 13.5 in

you change the units of the speed:

47mph*\frac{63360in}{1mille}*\frac{1h}{60min}=49632\frac{in}{min}

next, you replace the values of v and r in the equation (1):

\omega=\frac{v}{r}=\frac{49632in/min}{13.5in}=3676.44\frac{rad}{min}

Then, the car's tires are turning with an angular speed of 3676.44 rad/min
