To find the answer of this, you must first multiply the amount of people by the time:

6 * 15 = 90

Then to find the time it takes 5 workers, divide this by 5:

90 ÷ 5 = 18

So it will take them 18 hours!

You can buy DVDs at a local store for 15.59 each. You can buy them at on online store for 13.99 each plus $6 shipping. How many

dalvyx [7]

Local(L) = 1 x (15.99)
Online(O) = (1 x 13.99) + 6

So use that equation until you find the same number.

L1=15.99
O1=19.99

L2=31.98
O2=33.98

L3=47.97
O3=47.97

And your answer will be three from local and three from online.

Alabama papas must average 80 on five test . Scores on the first four test were 81 73 84 and 76 what is the lowest score she can

Salsk061 [2.6K]

She has to score at least 86 on her fifth test.

Further explanation:

We will use the average formula to find the fifth value.

Given

$Average\ required=80\\x_1=81\\x_2=73\\x_3=84\\x_4=76\\x_5=?$

We have to find x5

The formula for average is:

$x=\frac{Sum\ of\ values}{Total\ number\ of\ values}\\Here,\\n=5\\So,\\x=\frac{x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4+x_5}{5}\\Putting\ values\\80=\frac{81+73+84+76+x_5}{5}$
