Answer:  The average of the first two test scores is 97.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Kristie has taken five tests in science class. The average of all five of Kristie's test scores is 94 and the average of her last three test scores is 92.

We are to find the average score of her first two tests.

Let a1, a2, a3, a4 and a5 be teh scores of Kristle in first , second, third, fourth and fifth tests respectively.

Then, according to the given information, we have

\dfrac{a1+a2+a3+a4+a5}{5}=94\\\\\Rightarrow a1+a2+a3+a4+a5=94\times5\\\\\Rightarrow a1+a2+a3+a4+a5=470~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

and

\dfrac{a3+a4+a5}{3}=92\\\\\Rightarrow a3+a4+a5=92\times3\\\\\Rightarrow a3+a4+a5=276~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)

Subtracting equation (ii) from equation (i), we get

(a1+a2+a3+a4+a5)-(a3+a4+a5)=470-276\\\\\Rightarrow a1+a2=194\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{a1+a2}{2}=\dfrac{194}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{a1+a2}{2}=97.

Thus, the average of the first two test scores is 97.

Which algebraic expression represents “the quotient of a number and six”? 6 + w 6w 6 – w StartFraction w Over 6 EndFraction
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

The one with the fraction is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Quotient means dividing, so the answer has to have a fraction sign in it. We can't see the answer options properly, so whatever one with the fraction is the one you should choose. I think it's the third option that you wrote.

Hope this helped!
