Mr. Sato needs 9 magnets.
Explanation:
AS there are 24 students in the science class,
there are <span><span>242</span>=12</span> pair of students.
Mr. Sato wants to give each pair of students 3 magnets
Mr. Sato has already given 9 pairs of students their 3 magnets
Therefore number of pairs of students yet to be given magnets is <span>12−9=3</span>.
For them he needs <span>3×3=9</span> magnets.
I'm not sure about the given data but I plotted the scatter plot based on what I understand on how the data should be presented.
Time (years)
3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24
Number of participants(x1000)
22, 25, 28, 14, 17, 20,15, 9
Attached is the scatter plot created online.
x = time (years)
y = number of participants
It will be a 6 because the 8.5 is actually 8.50. So when subtracting mentally 8.50 - 4.64 you know 0 - 4 cannot be subtracted. Barrow a 1 from the 5 and now it'll be like 10 - 4. Which 10 - 4 = 6
8.50
- 4.64
= 3.86

Answer is -15</h3>
We read this out as "negative 15" or you could write "negative fifteen".
The negative indicates the temperature went down. It doesn't necessarily mean that the final temperature is -15 degrees.
For example, if it starts being 50 degrees F, and drops by 15 degrees, then 50+(-15) = 50-15 = 35 degrees is the temperature after that drop. It might help to use a vertical number line.
