Answer:

-5

Let n be the unknown number

difference is subtraction

3n -4 = -19

3n-4+4 = -19+4

3n = -15

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the mean height, remember is the average

62+62+59+61+59+70+59+62=494/8=61.75

median is the middle value, so we will write the numbers in order

59,59,59,61,62,62,62,70

we have an even number so we add the middle numbers and divide by 2,

the median=61+62=123/2=61.50

mode is the number that occurs most often : 62 and 59

Lisa took out a loan for 5 months and was charged simple interest at an annual rate of 4.8%.

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Lisa borrowed $8,500

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple Interest

Occurs when the interest is calculated on the original principal of a loan only.

Unlike compound interest where the interest earned in the compounding periods is added to the old principal, simple interest only considers the principal to calculate the interest.

The interest earned is calculated as follows:

I=Prt

Where:

I = Interest

P = initial principal balance

r = interest rate

t = time

Lisa took out a loan for t=5 months and was charged simple interest at an annual rate of r=4.8% = 0.048. She paid interest for I=$170.

We need to convert the time to years (there are 12 months per year):

t = 5 /12 years.

The formula must be solved for P:

$\displaystyle P=\frac{I}{rt}$

Substituting:

$\displaystyle P=\frac{170}{0.048*5/12}$

$\displaystyle P=\frac{170}{0.02}=8,500$

Lisa borrowed $8,500

Michaela spent 5/6 of an hour reading on each of 3 days this week. She spent 3/4 of an hour on each of 2 days this week doing sc

Kay [80]

5/6 of an hour is 50 min. So 50 times 3 equals 150 min for reading. 3/4 of an hour is 45 min. 45 times 2 equals 90 min for science. And 1/2 of an hour is 30 min. So 30 times 4 equals 120 mins for math. Add 150,90, and 120 min all together and you get 360 mins total. Divide 360 by 60, and you get 6 hours total that Michaela spent on reading, math, and science. Not 2 1/2.
