No it's 2.125 so it's not repeating

17/8 = 2.125 which has the decimal portion terminate or stop. This is not a repeating decimal. This is a terminating decimal.

The denominator 8 can be factored into 2*2*2. Since 2 is the only factor, this means that the decimal terminates. The same rule applies if 5 is present as a factor. If the denominator has other numbers (other than 2 or 5) as factors, then the decimal would repeat in some fashion.

The mean of the data set is 15.What number is missing? 9,12,16,18,23

maxonik [38]

The number 12 is missing in the data set.

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers are 9,12,16,18,23.
The missing number is assumed to be 'x'

Mean = Sum of the integers / Total number of integers.

15 = (9+12+16+18+23+x) / 6

15 = (78+x) / 6

90 = 78+x

x = 90-78

x = 12
