Answer:
To solve this problem, you would create two ratios and make them equal to each other, both representing laps:minute or laps/minute! With that being said, laps will be in the numerator, or on top, and minutes will be in the denominator, or the bottom! The first ratio, which we know from the problem, will be 5/8. In order to write the second ratio, we need to come up with something to put in place for what we're solving for. I like to use x. So, we need to find how many laps (x) are run in 1 minute. Remember, laps are on top and minutes are on the bottom. The second ratio would look like x/1. Then we make them equal to each other -> 5/8=x/1. You would then solve this equation by multiplying the right side of the equation by the reciprocal of the denominator! So, it would be 1/1(5/8)=x. Because then multiple the numerators and the denominators -> 1(5)=5 and 1(8)=8! This makes the equation turn into x=5/8! Because x equals the number of laps run in one minute, we can say that Ricky ran 5/8 of a lap in one minute or 0.625 laps in one minute!

Answer:
x > -1.25
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's start with the left side of the equation.
1) multiply 0.2(x + 20). You will get 0.2x+4
So you have 0.2x+4-3
Simplify that, you will have 0.2x+1
Now, we need to isolate the variable (bring all terms with "x" to one side), and move everything else to another side. Remember that when you bring something to the other side, you must change the sign in front of the term (for example, bringing 2x to another side would change it to -2x. another example is if you were to bring -2 to another side, you would have to change it to 2.)
2) 0.2x+6.2x>-7-1 Moved like terms to one side.
6.4x>-8 I combined the terms here!
x > -1.25 Simplified!
Let me know if you need anything else :)
To solve for a, you must get a by itself on one side of the equation. Now, a is "joined" to m by multiplication. To "separate" them, use the inverse operation, division.
Divide both sides of the equation by m.
Answer:
Any set of data that satisfies the 5-Number summary: 1,6,12,16 and 19 can be represented with the box plot.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Interpreting Box Plots</u>
A box plot is used to present the 5-Number summary of a set of data.
The 5-Number summary consists of the following in their order of appearance on the box plot.
- Minimum Value
- First Quartile,
- Median,
- Third Quartile,
- Maximum Value
In the box plot, the following rules applies
- The whisker starts from the minimum value and ends at the first quartile.
- The box starts at the first quartile and ends at the third quartile. There is a vertical line inside the box which shows the median.
- The end whisker starts at the third quartile and ends at the maximum value.
Using these, we interpret the given box plot
A left whisker extends from 1 to 6.
- Minimum Value=1
- First Quartile =6
The box extends from 6 to 16 and is divided into 2 parts by a vertical line segment at 12.
- Median=12
- Thrid Quartile=16
The right whisker extends from 16 to 19.
Therefore any set of data that satisfies the 5-Number summary: 1,6,12,16 and 19 can be represented with the box plot.
