What is the median of this set 14, 18, 31, 34, 44, 50

hodyreva [135]

Because there's an even number of values in this set, there is two middle values rather than one (31 and 34). To find the median we need to add them together and divide the sum by 2 (31 + 34 = 65, 65/2= 32.5) Our final answer is 32.5.

Suppose a car has a rating of 4.8 gallons per 100 miles. What is the miles-per-gallon rating of this car?

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

The miles-per-gallon rating of this car is 20.83.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by a rule of three.

What is the miles-per-gallon rating of this car?

How many miles for 1 gallon?

4.8 gallons are used for 100 miles. So

4.8 gallons - 100 miles

1 gallon - x miles

$4.8x = 100$

$x = \frac{100}{4.8}$

$x = 20.83$

The miles-per-gallon rating of this car is 20.83.

LM is the midsegment of trapezoid ABCD. AB= x + 8, LM = 4x + 3, and DC = 187. What is the value of x?

beks73 [17]

$\frac{|DC|+|AB|}{2}=|LM|\\\\|AB|=x+8;\ |LM|=4x+3;\ |DC|=187\\\\substitute:\\\\\frac{187+x+8}{2}=4x+3\ \ \ \ /\cdot2\\\\195+x=8x+6\ \ \ /-195;\ /-8x\\\\-7x=-189\ \ \ /:7\\\\\underline{\underline{x=27}}$
