Answer:

The highest score is 94.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the highest score be denoted by, <em>A</em>, the lowest score be, <em>B</em> and the middle score be <em>X</em>.

Then,

A + X + B = 87 × 3 = 261 ...(i)

X + B = 83.5 × 2 = 167 ...(ii)

⇒ B = 167 - X ...(iii)

A + X = 89 × 2 = 178 ...(iv)

⇒ A = 178 - X ...(v)

Substitute (iii) and (v) in (i) and solve for <em>X</em> as follows:

A + X + B = 261

178 - X + X + 167 - X = 261

345 - X = 261

X = 84

Substitute the value of <em>X</em> in (iii) and solve for B as follows:

B = 167 - X

   = 167 - 84

   = 83

Substitute the value of <em>X</em> in (v) and solve for A as follows:

A = 178 - X

   = 178 - 84

   = 94

Thus, the highest score is 94.

Order these numbers from least to the greatest, 47/10,4.606,4+13/20,4.64​
exis [7]

Answer:

From lowest to highest, the numbers would follow the following order:

1) 4.606, 2) 4.64, 3) 4 + 13/20, 4) 47/10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the numbers 47/10, 4.606, 4 + 13/20 and 4.64 are presented, to order these from lowest to highest, the following calculations must be performed:

47/10 = 4.70

4,606

4 + 13/20 = 4 + 0.65 = 4.65

4.64

Therefore, from lowest to highest, the numbers would follow the following order:

1) 4.606, 2) 4.64, 3) 4 + 13/20, 4) 47/10.
