In order to solve this problem, you need to know how to find averages. You do this by adding all the weights then dividing it by how many packages you have:

10 packages weighing 7.4 lbs.
12 packages weighing 8.2 lbs.
6 packages weighing 8.7 lbs

10+12+6=28 total packages

10(7.4)+12(8.2)+6(8.7)
=74+98.4+52.2
=224.6 total lbs.

Avg. = total lbs / total packages
Avg. = 224.6/28

Avg. = 8.02 lbs.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

average weight can be find as;

average=sum of quantity/no. of quantity

or sum=avg*no. of quantity.

now,

first shipment has total 7.4*10= 74 pound

second shipment has total 12*8.2=98.4

third shipment has total 6*8.7=52.2

now calculating the average of all three we get.

avg=(74+98.2+52.2)/3=74.7

You and your friend are painting the walls in your apartment. You estimate that there is 1000 square feet of space to be painted

leva [86]

After 45 minutes you will have painted 4*45=180 square feet.

so the total number of painted area, y, is:

y=180+x*(3+4) after the 45 minutes

where x is the number of minutes AFTER THE 45 minutes:

if y is 1000 then

1000=180+x*7
820=x*7
x=117.14

so 117 minutes, or one hour and 57 minutes.

Can someone help me with this guys? Thank you so much! I mark as brainliest

Answer:

y=45

x=9

z= 9 root 2

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right isosceles triangle, so

y=45

x=9

z= 9 root 2

9²+9²=z²

81+81=z²

162=z²

√162=z

z=9√2

Kyra has a rock collection. When she puts her rocks into 2 equal plies, there are no rocks left over. When she puts her rocks in

Nat2105 [25]

Step-by-step explanation:

According to this description we need a number that can be divided by 2,3 and 4 since the amount of rocks can be described by a natural number. However if a number is divided by 4 it is divided by 2 as well since 2*2=4.

$\frac{x}{4} = \alpha \\ \frac{x}{2} = 2 \alpha$

If α is a natural number then 2*α is a natural number as well as the product of two natural numbers.

Which means that we need a number devided by 3 and 4.

The smallest number that fulfills this demand is 3*4=12.

Also any product of 12 with any natural number can be devided by 3, 4 and 2.

If the exercise asks for the numbers that are divided only by 2,3 and 4 these are:

${3}^{ \alpha } \times 12 \: and \: {4}^{ \alpha } \times 12 \: \\ where \: \alpha \: belongs \: to \: the \: set \: of \: all \: \\ natural \: numbers$

What is the slope of a line parallel to the line whose equation is 3x – 4y = 8

liq [111]

Hi there! The answer is C.

We can find the slope of this line by making y the subject of the equation.

$3x - 4y = 8 \\ - 4y = - 3x + 8 \\ y = \frac{ - 3}{ - 4} x + \frac{8}{ - 4} \\ y = \frac{3}{4} x - 2$

Now we can see that the slope of this line (which is positioned in front of x) is 3/4. Therefore, the slope of any line parallel to this one is 3/4 as well. The answer is C.
