He ran for 34 and 19/20 miles
Orlov [11]3 years ago

Answer:

74 \frac{5}{20}

Step-by-step explanation:

On Friday, he ran 15\frac{3}{5}  miles.

converting mix number to fraction we get,

15\frac{3}{5} =\frac{75+3}{5} =\frac{78}{5}


On Saturday, he ran twice as much as he did on Friday.

so, for Saturday it is,

2 x  \frac{78}{5}  miles

=\frac{78 x 2}{5}

=\frac{156}{5}


On Sunday he ran 3\frac{3}{4} less than Saturday.

3\frac{3}{4}=\frac{12+3}{4} =\frac{15}{4}

So, for Sunday it is-

\frac{156}{5} - \frac{15}{4}

=\frac{156x4-15x5}{20}

=\frac{624-75}{20}

=\frac{549}{20}


So, for three days,

total distance would be-

\frac{78}{5} + \frac{156}{5} + \frac{549}{20}

=\frac{78x4 + 156x4 + 549}{20}

=\frac{312+624+549}{20}

=\frac{1485}{20}

=74 \frac{5}{20}


So, Mason ran  74 \frac{5}{20}  miles in three days.

On a baseball team, the ages of each of the players are as follows: 21; 21; 22; 23; 24; 24; 25; 25; 28; 29; 29; 31; 32; 33; 33;
Paul [167]

Answer:

Mean = 30.68

Standard deviation = 6.095

Two standard deviations above the mean = 42.87

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data :

21; 21; 22; 23; 24; 24; 25; 25; 28; 29; 29; 31; 32; 33; 33; 34; 35; 36; 36; 36; 36; 38; 38; 38; 40

Mean = Σ(x) / n

n = 25

Σ (X) = 767

Mean (m) = 767 / 25

Mean (m) = 30.68

Standard deviation : sqrt[Σ(x - m) / n]

Using a calculator :

Standard deviation = 6.095 ( 2 decimal places)

2 standard deviations above the mean :

Mean + 2(standard deviation)

Mean + 2(6.095)

30.68 + 12.19

30.68 + 12.19

= 42.87

Kristin's credit rating was lowered, and the credit card company raised her APR from 14% to 15.2%. If her average daily balance
Sloan [31]

Answer:

0.0022x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The credit card company raised her APR from 14% to 15.2%.

Her average daily balance this month is x dollars.

We need to find the algebraically the increase in this month's finance charge due to the higher APR. It can be calculated as follows :

y=x\times \dfrac{12\%}{14}-x\times \dfrac{15.2\%}{14}\\\\=x\times \dfrac{12}{1400}-x\times \dfrac{15.2}{1400}\\\\=-0.0022x

So, the required increase in the month's finance is 0.0022x.

At age 16, Logan weighed 162 pounds. When he was 20, he weighed 198 pounds. Write a linear equation that relates Logans wait to
Nadusha1986 [10]
Answer:
y = 9x + 18
where y is the weight and x is the age

Explanation:
Assume that the age is x and the weight is y.
We are given that:
At age of 16, Logan was 162 pounds. Therefore, point on the line is (16,162)
At age of 20, Logan was 198 pounds. Therefore, point on the line is (20,198)

The general form of the linear equation is:
y = mx + c
where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept

1- getting the slope:
slope (m) = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
m = (198-162) / (20-16) = 9
The equation now becomes:
y = 9x + c

2- getting the y-intercept:
The two given points belong to the required line. This means that each of them satisfies the equation of the line.
So, to get the y-intercept, we will substitute with one of the points in the equation and solve for c.
I will use point (16,162) as follows:
y = mx + c
162 = 9(16) + c
162 = 144 + c
c = 162 - 144 = 18
Therefore, the equation becomes:
y = 9x + 18

Hope this helps :)
