The mean is calculated by adding up all of the given numbers and dividing by the number of numbers.
Lets, for ease of understanding, say that the first three number were 64...
Mean=(64+64+64)/3=192/3=64
Now, lets solve for the mean where 'x' is the unknown fourth number and 128 is the mean. (since, the answer said that when the fourth number was added the mean, 64, was doubled '64*2=128')
128=(64+64+64+x)/4
128=(192+x)/4
Multiply both sides by 4
512=192+x
subtract 192 from both sides
320=x
The missing number is 320..
Now lets double check our work.
Mean=(64+64+64+320)/4=512/4=128
Answer=320
Answer:
1.88 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the total amount of sugar, since there were 2 shipments
22.56(2)
= 45.12
Then, divide this by 24:
45.12/24
= 1.88
So, each canister had 1.88 pounds of sugar
Answer:
Joshua worked 4 hours and luke worked 7
Step-by-step explanation:
25x + 35x +105 = 345
60x = 345 - 105
60x = 240
x = 240/60
x = 4 hours
Answer:
they are equal
Step-by-step explanation:
because you can add how many zeroes after 2.79 but it is going to still be equal.
You must “reverse” the inequality sign to make the statement true: When you multiply by a negative number, “reverse” the inequality sign. Whenever you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign must be reversed in order to keep a true statement.
