Answer:

Each golf ball costs about $2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Donald bought a box of golf balls for $9.27. There were 18 golf balls in the box.

Rename the decimal dividend as a whole number that is compatible with the divisor to estimate the quotient.

Now, to find the cost of each golf ball.

As given:

Rename the decimal dividend as a whole number that is compatible with the divisor to estimate the quotient.

As, the cost of golf ball box = $9.27.

So, 9.27 nearest to whole number is 9.

Thus to get the cost of each ball:

18 golf balls cost = $9.

So, 1 golf ball cost = $18\div 9=2.$

Therefore, each golf ball costs about $2.

Anastaziya [24]

No. If you still want the 46 7/8 square foot table and less than 6ft wide than the table length must be greater than 7 1/2 feet long. For the math to work out. Because, the 7 1/2 foot long table would need a 6 1/4 wide table to fit the 46 7/8 square foot.

A collection of 5 positive integers has mean 4.4, unique mode 3 and median 4. If an 8 is added to the collection, what is the ne

Answer:

4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

It appears the 5 integers must be {3, 3, 4, 5, 7}.

For the mode to be unique, there must be more than one '3', and there cannot be any other repeated numbers. For 4 to be the median, it must be the 3rd-highest number. Then the remaining numbers must be integers greater than 4 with a sum of 12 for the mean to be 4.4.

When 8 is added to the collection, the median is now the average of 4 and 5, so is 4.5.

The new median is 4.5.

Comment on vocabulary

mean: the sum of numbers divided by the number of numbers. 5 numbers with a mean of 4.4 will have a sum of 5×4.4 = 22.

median: the middle number of a collection of an odd number of numbers, when sorted from lowest to highest. It is the 3rd number of a group of 5 numbers. When there are an even number of numbers in the group, the median is the average of the middle two in the sorted list. Here, that means the 3rd number in the list of 5 is '4'. When 8 is added, 4 becomes one of the numbers contributing to the average that will be the new median.

mode: the member of the group that appears the most times. When the mode is unique, it means there are no other numbers repeated as often. Here, we know the 3rd number (of 5) is 4, so there can only be two numbers '3' in the collection. That 3 is the unique mode means no other numbers are repeated at all.

We have been given that Marcus works for 26 hours each week and 48 weeks each year.

Thus in a year he works for $26 \times 48 = 1248$ hours.
