Jack should remove the maximum and minimum weight potatoes from the average weight of the potatoes to compensate for the extremes. Therefore, we are left with a data set of:
8, 9, 11, 7, 7, 8, 9, 7; so n = 8
The sum of these is 66
The average weight of each potato is:
66/8
= 8 ounces

2a-6=4a<br><br> Solve for a<br><br> Check your work
algol [13]

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

2a - 6 = 4a

subtract 2a giving you -6 = 2a

divide by 2 from both sides so that a will be by itself

giving you -6 ÷ 2 = a

-6 ÷ 2 = -3

so a = -3

it takes 18 3/8 inches of wood to make a frame for a small picture if Ms Jones has 108 inches of wood how many frames can she ma
scZoUnD [109]
It would make 5 complete frames, and about 8/10 of another frame.
108 / 18.375 = 5.8&*)&^&%*$*
I used a calculator.
You could keep adding 18 and 3/8 over and over again until you get right under 108 if you're good at math like me, but most people would have to add 18 and 3/8 separately.

Thanks, and if you liked my answer, please consider giving me the brainliest answer, because I need 5 of them to get to the next level.
