Answer:
A measure of average is a value that is typical for a set of figures. Finding the average helps you to draw conclusions from data. The main types are mean, median and mode. Data is also often grouped.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the mean add all the ages together and divide by the total number of children.
If you type all those ages into a calculator it is easy to make an error.
To find 40% of 68
you simply divide 40% by 100 and multiply by 68
40/100 x 68 = 32.64
32.64 is 40% of 68.
The same steps can be used to find any percentage of any number.
simply divide the percentage given by 100 and multiply by the total number.
L=16
W=21
Set up a systems of equations:
x=length
y=width
xy=336
x+5=y
Use substitution to solve:
x(x+5)=336
x^2+5x=336
Solve using factoring:
x^2+5x-336=0
(x-16)(x+21)=0
x=16 and x= -21
Since length can't be negative, l=16
To find width, plug length into the first equation:
(16)y=336
y=21
So...
L=16
