Because there are less pieces the whole is split up into. For instance, if you have 1 bag of cookies, you would get more cookies per person if it was split between 2 people than if it was split between 10, because each person gets more of the whole, and there's less people to split up that whole.
since you have an equal amount of pieces from each, the whole that was split into the least pieces, or the number with the smaller denominator will be larger since the pieces will be larger

(b) determine the total shipping and receiving costs for the china if 3,500 boxes are shipped.

Answer:

(a)

For Glass = $14

For Fine China = $28

For Everyday dinner = $42

(b) $28 * 3,500 = $98,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shipping and Handling Activity = $7 per pound

Box of glass = 2 pounds

Box of fine China = 4 pounds

Box of everyday dinner = 6 pounds

a.

Shipping and Handling Activity

For Glass = $7 * 2

For Glass = $14

For Fine China = $7 * 4

For Fine China = $28

For Everyday dinner = $7 * 6

For Everyday dinner = $42

b.

Total Shipping and Receiving cost for Fine China

If the shipping and receiving cost of a box of fine China is $28

Then, the shipping and receiving cost of 3500 boxes is

= 3,500 * $28

= $98,000

. The mean width of 12 iPads is 5.1 inches. The mean width of 8 Kindles is 4.8 inches. a. What is the total width of the iPads?
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

a) 61.2, b) 38.4 and c) 4.98

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The mean width of 12 I-Pads is 5.1 inches.

The mean width of 8 Kindles is 4.8 inches.

Question asked:

a. What is the total width of the I-Pads?

b. What is the total width of the Kindles?

c. What is the mean width of the 12 I-Pads and 8 Kindles?

Solution:

<u>As we know:</u>

<u />Mean =\frac{Sum\ of\ observations}{Number\ of\ observations}\\ \\ Mean\ width =\frac{Sum\ of\ width\ of\ all \ I-pad}{Number \  of\ I-pad}

5.1=\frac{Sum\ of\ width\ of\ all\ I-pad}{12} \\ \\ By \ cross\ multiplication\\ \\ Sum\ of\ width\ of\ all\ I-pad}=5.1\times1 2\\ \\ Sum\ of\ width\ of\ all\ I-pad}= 61.2

a) Thus, the total width of the I-Pads are 61.2 inches.

Mean\ width =\frac{Sum\ of\ width\ of\ all\ Kindles}{Number \  of\ Kindles}

4.8=\frac{Sum\ of\ width\ of\ all\Kindles}{8} \\ \\ By \ cross\ multiplication\\ \\ Sum\ of\ width\ of\ all \ Kindles=4.8\times8\\ \\ Sum\ of\ width\ of \ all\ Kindles}=38.4

b) Thus, total width of the Kindles are 38.4 inches.

Combined width of both I-pad and Kindles = 61.2 + 38.4 = 99.6 inches

Combined number of observations = 12 + 8 =20

Combined mean of width of the 12 I-Pads and 8 Kindles = Combined width of both I-pad and Kindles \div Combined number of observations

Combined mean of width of the 12 I-Pads and 8 Kindles = \frac{99.6}{20} =4.98\ inches

c) Thus, the mean width of the 12 I-Pads and 8 Kindles is 4.98 inches.

Given -16 = m over 5 -18; prove m=10
Aleks04 [339]

- 16 =  \frac{m}{5}  - 18 \\  =  >  - 16 =  \frac{m - 18 \times 5}{5}  \\  =  >  -16 \times 5 = m - 90 \\  =  >  - 80 = m - 90 \\  =  >  - 80 + 90 = m \\  =  > 10 = m \\  =  > m = 10
