Answer:  192 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes the weight of Frances ( in pounds ).

Given : The ratio between Frances and Carolina's weight is 8: 7

If Carolina weighs 168 pounds, then using proportion s we have the equation below :-

\dfrac{x}{168}=\dfrac{8}{7}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{8\times168}{7}\ \ \text{[Multiply 168 on both sides]}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=8\times24=192

Therefore, the weight of Frances = 192 pounds.

PERSON GETS 15 POINTZ PLZ HURRY The mean of the list n, n + 3, n+4, n+5, n+6, n+8, n+10, n + 12, n+15 is 11. What is the median?
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of n we can write:

(n + n + 3 + n + 4 + n + 5 + n + 6 + n + 8 + n + 10 + n + 12 + n + 15) / 9 = 11

(9n + 63) / 9 = 11

9n + 63 = 99

9n = 36

n = 4

The median is n + 6 which is 4 + 6 = 10.

A new car is purchased for 15500 dollars. The value of the car depreciates at 7.5% per year. What will the value of the car be,
mixer [17]

Answer:

\$9,709.17  

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The  formula to calculate the depreciated value  is equal to  

V=P(1-r)^{x}  

where  

V is the depreciated value  

P is the original value  

r is the rate of depreciation  in decimal  

x  is Number of Time Periods  

in this problem we have  

P=\$15,500\\r=7.5\%=0.075\\x=6\ years

substitute

V=\$15,500(1-0.075)^{6}=\$9,709.17
