Answer:

B

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.

Andrew [12]

Answer:

$911.25

Step-by-step explanation:

For 1 day the man works for 6 hours.

Then for 6 days the man will work for (6×6)hours = 36 hours

If the man makes $22.5 an hour, then for 36 hours, the man will earn ($22.5×36) = $810

Given, that the man gets a 12.5% raise, the we would have to apply the formula, where the 12.5% should be added to $810.

New Value/Old Value = 100 + rate/100

New Value/$810 = 112.5/100

By solving this equation, we get $911.25. So the man will earn $911.25 if he works for 6days a week.
