Answer: 12\ inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the height inches (in the model) of a 84 foot building.

According to the information provided in the exercise, we know that the height of a two-story building is 21 feet and in the scale model its height is 3 inches.

Knowing this, we can set up the following proportion:

\frac{3}{21}=\frac{x}{84}

The final step is to solve for "x" in order to calculate its value. We get that this is:

\frac{3}{21}=\frac{x}{84}\\\\(84)(\frac{3}{21})=x\\\\x=12

Therefore,  an 84 foot building will be 12 inches tall in the model.

Can you help me with 1 & 3?
iVinArrow [24]
For 1 multiply both sides by 3 which gives you 3y-y=12. Then combine like terms 2y=12. Lastly divide both sides by 2 and you get y=6. And for 3 first multiply both sides by 4 which gives you 6y-32=y+8. After that combine like terms 6y-y-32=8. Now add the equation together 5y=40 and then divide by 5 and get y=8

Eric is comparing the credit scores of his friends. The scores he gathered are found in the table below. 588 838 691 818 846 725
alukav5142 [94]
To solve this, we need to know how to find the mean of a set of data and how to find the median of a set of data.

To find the mean, or often called the average, we should add all of the values up, and then divide it by the number of values.

588+838+691+818+846+725+605+732+750 = 6593
6593/9=732.556

The problem tells us we should round to the nearest point, so our mean credit score is 733.

To find the median, we need to order the data from lowest to highest and find out which credit score(s) are right in the middle. If there are 2 in the middle, we simply should add them and divide by 2 to get our median. An easy way to do this is after you order them, you simply cross off one on each side until there is only 1 (or 2) left.

588 605 691 725 732 750 818 838 846
       605 691 725 732 750 818 838
              691 725 732 750 818
                     725 732 750
                            732

Since we only have one number in the middle, we are done with the median! We know our median is 732.

Now we simply need to compare them and subtract the lower one from the higher one.

Mean:733
Median: 732
733>732

We know the mean is bigger, so we should subtract the median from the mean.

733=732=1

Using the logic above, we can see that the mean is 1 point higher than the median.

18+6/-4-16 HELP only d part​
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

\frac{1}{2} is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to substitute X and Y with their respective numbers

3\cdot \:6+\frac{6}{-4}-\left(-4\right)^2

Then, following PEMDAS, We just need to simplify

18+\frac{6}{-4} -16

16.5-16=0.5=\frac{1}{2}

What is the equivalent of 243 to the power of (2/5)
nasty-shy [4]

<span>(243)^(2/5) = ?
---
The 5 in the denominator means "take the 5th root".
The 2 in the numerator means "square".

---


</span><span>Taking the 5th root first you get:
(243)^(2/5) = 3^2
Now squaring gives you
3^2 = 9

So the answer is 9.

Hope this helps :)
