Answer:

The smallest number of books each could have shelved = 30 books

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that:

Sapphire shelves 5 books at a time and Abe shelves 6 books at a time.

If they end up shelving the same number of books, then we need to find  smallest number of books each could have shelved.

That means,  we need to find the smallest number that is the multiple of both 5 and 6.

Taking LCM of 5 and 6.

We get LCM of 5 and 6 is 30.

And 30 is the smallest number of books each could have shelved.

What is the mean of 72,73,86,59,75,58,50,55
Rashid [163]
<h3><u>MEAN</u></h3>

Mean is the average. To find the mean of a data set, you have to add all the numbers and divide the sum by the amount of numbers you added.

<em>In this equation, you have 8 numbers. That means you will be dividing by 8. </em>

The first thing you need to do is add all the numbers. Add:

72+73+86+59+75+58+50+55 = \bf 528

Now that you have added all the numbers and got the sum, divide by 8. Remember that you will be dividing by 8 since you added 8 numbers.

Divide:

528 \div 8 = \bf 66

The mean is 66

Look at the question in the picture pls I need help
Lena [83]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the painting's width be w inches and length be l inches.

w + 6 = 2l

w = 2l - 6 --(1)

2w + 2l = 84 --(2)

sub (1) into (2):

2(2l - 6) + 2l = 84

2l - 6 + l = 42

3l = 48

l = 16

when l = 16, w = 2(16) - 6 = 26

area of painting = lw = 16 x 26 = 416square inches

Therefore, only statements 1, 3 and 5 are true

What is the range of the data in this stem-and-leaf plot? 2 14 19 32.5 Stem and leaf plot. Vertical line separates each stem fro
inysia [295]

Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Stem   Leaves

2    |      6, 7, 7

3    |      0, 2, 3, 3, 4.

4    |      0, 5

To Find: What is the range of the data in this stem-and-leaf plot?

Solution :

Since we are given key 3 vertical line 0 equals 30.

So, in the given stem leaf plot the number are :

26,27,27,30,32,33,33,34,40,45

Now Range = maximum number   -  minimum number

Range = 45-26

Range = 19

Hence The range of the data in this stem-and-leaf plot is 19

What is the coefficient of x2 in the expansion of (x + 2)3?
wolverine [178]
One way is that you can just factor it out: (x+2)(x+2)(x+2)
For the first pair, you get x^2+4x+4.
Then do (x^2+4x+4)*(x+2)
That will be x^3+6x^2+12x+8
So the answer is 6
