3 0

The other number is -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; First we develop formulae for the given information. A number is added with 3 and the resulting sum is multiplied by 4. This number is then divided by 2 and the quotient is 0. Assume the unknown number is x, then the given information is as follows

The quotient of $\frac{4(x+3)}{2}$ is 0. So $\frac{4(x+3)}{2}$ = 0.

Step 2; Now we solve the above equation. The denominator is taken to the RHS and the RHS remains zero.

$\frac{4(x+3)}{2}$ = 0, 4(x+3)= 0, 4x+ 12 = 0, 4x = -12, x = $\frac{-12}{4}$ = -3.

So the other number is -3.

Which stem-and-leaf plot has a median of 3.2 page.2

DiKsa [7]

Find the median of each set:-

Median is middle number of a data set. If a data set has an odd number of numbers then the median is the middle number when ordered form least to greatest but if its an even number you have to find the mean for the middle 2 numbers when ordered for least to greatest.

A.

1.2, 2.4, 3.2, 3.2, 3.6, 4.0, 4.1, 4.7

Even numbers = 8
3.2 + 3.6 = 6.8
6.8 ÷ 2 =
Median = 3.4
So this shows that A isn't the answer because the median of A is 3.4, not 3.2.

B.

1.6, 2.8, 2.9, 3.1, 3.3, 3.6, 4.2, 4.5

Even numbers = 8
3.1 + 3.3 = 6.4
6.4 ÷ 2 = 3.2
Median = 3.2
So this shows that B is the answer because the median of B is 3.2.

C.

1.8, 2.0, 2.0, 2.2, 3.2, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9

Even numbers = 8
2.2 + 3.2 = 5.4
5.4 ÷ 2 = 2.7
Median = 2.7
So this shows that C isn't the answer because the median of C is 2.7, not 3.2.

D.

1.4, 1.7, 2.9, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.2, 3.2, 4
Odd numbers = 9
Median = 3.1

So this shows that D isn't the answer because the median of D is 3.1, not 3.2.

The stem and leaf plot which median is 3.2 is B.

A well mixed tank with a capacity of 1500 gals originally contains 1000 gallons of freshwater. One pipe containing 1/2 lb of sal

Illusion [34]

Answer:

400 lb of salt

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the water flows into the rank for x minutes.

There is an initial of 1000 gallons of water in the tank and water flows in through one pipe at 4 gal/min and through another pipe at 6 gal/min. In x minute, the amount of water in the tank = 1000 + 4x + 6x = 1000 + 10x

Water flows out at 5 gal/min, therefore in x minute the amount of water in the tank = 1000 + 10x - 5x = 1000 + 5x

The tank begins to overflow when it is full (has reached 1500 gallons). Therefore:

1500 = 1000 + 5x

5x = 1500 - 1000

5x = 500

x = 100 minutes.

1/2 lb salt per gallon flows into the tank at 4 gal/min and 1/3 lb of salt is flowing in at 6 gal/min, in 100 min the amount of salt that entered the tank = 4 gal/min × 100 min × 1/2 lb/gal + 6 gal/min × 100 min × 1/3 lb/gal= 400 lb

Therefore the amount of salt is in the tank when it is about to overflow = 400 lb of salt
