Answer:

85 runners

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

34th represent 40% of all runners

using proportion

Find out the total number of runners

$\frac{34}{40\%}=\frac{x}{100\%}\\\\x=34(100)/40\\\\x= 85\ runners$

June needs 45 gallons of punch for a party and has 2 different coolers to carry it in. The bigger cooler is 5 times as large as

mixer [17]

Answer:

The capacity of smaller cooler = 7.5 gallons

The capacity of bigger cooler = 37.5 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let smaller cooler's capacity be x gallons

Hence

Larger cooler's capacity will be 5x gallons

Together, they will hold 45 gallons, thus we can write:

x + 5x = 45

Solving:

x + 5x = 45

6x = 45

x = 45/6 = 7.5

And 5x = 5(7.5) = 37.5

The capacity of smaller cooler = 7.5 gallons

The capacity of bigger cooler = 37.5 gallons

How do you Calculate the mean,median and mode in grouped data.

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

The mean:

data: 3,6,9,10

You first add all of the numbers together.

3+6+9+10= 28

There 4 numbers in the data set, so you divide 4 by the sum of all of the numbers.

28/4= 7

So the mean is 7.

The median:

data: 3,6,9,10

first put all of the numbers in numerical order.

3,6,9,10

Then you find the middle number in the data set.

3,6,(the middle number here),9,10

to find the middle number, do the mean of 6 and 9

The mean of 6 and 9 is 7.5

So, 7.5 is the median

another example: 3,4,7,9,13

The middle number is 7

so 7 is the median

The mode:

data: 3,6,9,10

The mode is the number that is repeated the most

in this data, there is no mode.

but in this data: 4,4,6,9,11

4 is the mode because it was repeated the most

Find Distance (4,6) (-4,-3)

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

$\sqrt{145}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula states that the distance between two points $(a,b)$ and $(c,d)$ is $\sqrt{(a-c)^2+(b-d)^2}$ .

The two points we have are $(4,6)$ and $(-4,-3)$ . Plugging these numbers into the distance formula, we have

$\sqrt{(4-(-4))^2+(6-(-3))^2$ .

Simplifying with order of operations, first using the distributive property, gives

$\sqrt{(4+4)^2+(6+3)^2$ .

Squaring and adding gives

$\sqrt{(4+4)^2+(6+3)^2}=\sqrt{8^2+9^2}\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=\sqrt{64+81}\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=\boxed{\sqrt{145}},$

which is the answer in simplest form. This also rounds to about 12.04.
