Answer:

The answer is m = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve the proportional equation, this way:

3/m-2 = 7/m+2

3 * (m + 2) = 7 * (m - 2) [Lowest common denominator (m + 2) * (m - 2)]

3m + 6 = 7m - 14

-4m = -14 - 6 (Like terms)

-4m = -20

m = -20/-4

m = 5

The answer is m = 5

The mean length of 10 childrens' big finger is 8.1cm.

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

The mean length of 10 children's big finger is 8.1 cm

Average length of all the 10 children's finger is (8.1×10) cm = 81 cm.

The mean length of 11 adult's big finger is 14.1 cm

Average length of all the 11 adult's big finger is (14.1×11) cm =155.1

Mean length of these 21 people's big finger is
$\frac{(81 + 155.1)}{21} = 11.242857$
Hence, 11.24 is the right answer.
