The top problem is impossible assuming the total number of people is 70 friends.
Middle problem:
2. C 3. B 4. A
Last problem:
y = 3x + 95
It is a tight fit.
Answer:
A randomized block design. Randomly assign temperatures so that 2 bowls of each clay type are glazed at each temperature.
Step-by-step explanation:
One way in which to do this problem would involve subtracting 5 from 7 (result: 2) and then subtracting 3/5 from 8/9.
To subtract 3/5 from 8/9, you'd need to find the lowest common denominator (LCD) of 3/5 and 8/9, convert both fractions to have this LCD, and then subtract.
The LCD is (5)(9)=45. Then 8/9 and 3/5 become 40/45 and 27/45.
Subtracting 27/45 from 40/45 results in the fraction 13/45.
Then the full solution is 2 13/45.
You could also do this problem by converting 7 8/9 and 5 3/5 into improper fractions:
71/9 - 28/5. Again, the LCD is 45. Can you rewrite both fractions with 45 as the common denominator and then perform the subtraction?
