This question is easier than it seems. If there are 9 consecutive integers with the mean being 16, then 16 must be the median. So just add four on top and four below 16 to give you your range of 9 values, 12-20. 12+13+14+15+16+17+18+19+20=144, 144/9=16. So the mean of the first four numbers is (12+13+14+15)/4= 13.5. If you check, 13.5 is also the median of these four numbers.
16 times 4 equals to 64. 64 is simply 4 sets of 16 added together.
Other factors of 64 include, 1,2,4,8,16,32, and 64.
To find percent error, you subtract the actual number from your estimate, take the absolute value, and divide by the actual number.
l 96 - 118 l
l -22 l
l 22 l
l 22 l / 118

Hope this helps!
One company wants $10 per 3.5 hours, so they want 10 / 3.5 ≈ 2,86 dollars per hour (after rounding to the closest hundreths).
Second company wants $1.25 per half an hour, so they want 2 * 1,25 = 2,50 dollars per hour.
The unit rate is 2,86:2,50
