Lily bought 25.29 pounds of grapefruit. The lightest grapefruit weighed 1.4 pounds. The heaviest grapefruit weighed 1.6 pounds.

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven that the lightest is 1.4 and the heaviest is 1.6, this implies that ALL the fruit must weigh between 1.4 and 1.6.

This also implies that the average weight of the fruit must also be between 1.4 lb and 1.6 lb.

recall that : average weight = total weight / number of fruit

we are given than total weight = 25.29 lb, so

average weight = 25.29 / number of fruit

Just go down the choices and test which choice gives an average weight between 1.4 and 1.6 lbs.

Choice A: number of fruit = 19

average = 25.29 / 19 = 1.33 (outside of range, not the answer)

Choice B: number of fruit = 17

average = 25.29 / 17 =1.49 (within range , possible answer)

Choice C: number of fruit = 10

average = 25.29 / 10 = 2.529 (outside of range, not the answer)

Choice D: number of fruit = 50

average = 25.29 / 50 = 0.5058 (outside of range, not the answer)

From the above, we can see that only B gives an average between 1.4 and 1.6 lb.

What is £900 decreased by 5%

zaharov [31]

First find out what 5% of 900 is.

0.05 * 900 = 45

Now subtract this from 900.

900 - 45 = 855

So £900 decreased by 5% is £855.

5. The length of a rectangle is 3 inches less than its width. If the

artcher [175]

Answer:

length is 17 in, width is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

let's shape this as an algebraic equation, where x= the length of one side.

since the width is 3 inches longer than the length, x will be the length and x+3 will be the width.

the perimeter is 74 in, and the perimeter is the added length of all sides. in a rectangle, 2 sides are the length and 2 sides are the width, so:

74 = 2x + 2(x + 3)

let's distribute the 2.

74 = 2x + 2x + 6

now, we combine the x's.

74 = 4x + 6

after this step, subtract 6 from the right to add it to the left side.

68 = 4x

finally, divide both sides by 4.

17 = x

perfect! now that we know the length, we just have to add 3 to find the width.

17 + 3 = 20

A total of 13.2 inches of snow fell during a snowstorm that lasted 5.5 hours. The same amount of snow fell each hour of the stor

frez [133]

Answer:

2.4 inches per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

A total of 13.2 inches of snow fell during a snowstorm that lasted 5.5 hours and the same amount of snow fell each hour of the storm.

This means that there was a constant rate of snow fall.

To find how many inches of snow fell each hour, we divide the amount of snow fall by the amount of time that the snowstorm lasted.

That is:

$R = \frac{13.2}{5.5}$

R = 2.4 inches per hour

This means that 2.4 inches of snow fell each hour during the snowstorm.
