Answer: 17.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The interquartile range(IQR) is the 3rd quartile - the 1st quartile.

How to get quartiles:

First get the median:

3.5, 10.4, 16, 21.7, 27.7

10.4, 16, 21.7

Then find the median of the first half of data(3.5, 10.4)

(3.5+10.4)/2 = 6.95

Then find the median of the last half of data(21.7, 27.7)

(21.7+27.7)/2 = 24.7

Then to get the IQR subtract 6.95 from 24.7 to get 17.75

Write the 2-digit number that matches the clues. My number has a tens digit that is 8 more than the ones digit. Zero is not one

laila [671]

Firstly attention should pe paid to the exact words given in the problem and then only the answer can be easily deduced.
It is a 2 digit number and that is said in the problem
Now For the tens digit it has been said that it is 8 more than the ones digit. The ones digit cannot be zero and that is already mentioned in the problem.
So if we take the ones digit to be 1, then the tens digit will be= 8 +1
= 9
Now if we take the ones digit to be 2, then the tens digit will be = 2 + 8
= 10
So it cannot be 2 as the tens digit takes the number to a 3 digit number and it is not possible.
So the answer to this problem is 91.

Xy+(4(20))>x-5y(2+9-7)

prohojiy [21]

I'll solve for y xy+(4(20))>x-5y(2+9-7)

xy+4(20)>x-5y(2+9-7)

xy+4(20)>x-5y(4)

xy+4(20)>x-20y

xy+80>x-20y

xy+20y+80>x

y(x+20)>-80+x

y>(-80+x)/(x+20)

Amy needs to mail a gift card to a friend. She uses 47-cent stamps and 6-cent stamps to pay $2.42 in postage. How many of each s

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Answer:Amy used 4 41-cent stamps and 8 6-cent stamps.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of 41-cent stamps that Amy used. Let y represent the number of 6-cent stamps that Amy used.

41 cents = 41/100 = $0.41

6 cents = 6/100 = $0.06

She uses 41-cent stamps and 6-cent stamps to pay $2.12 in postage. It means that

0.41x + 0.06y = 2.12

Multiplying through by 100, it becomes

41x + 6y = 212

6y = 212 -41x

We would test for corresponding values of x and y that satisfies the equation and they must be whole numbers.

If x = 3,

6y = 212 - 41 × 3 = 89

y = 89/6 = 14.8333

If x = 4,

6y = 212 - 41 × 4 = 48

y = 48/6 = 8

Answer:Amy used 4 41-cent stamps and 8 6-cent stamps.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of 41-cent stamps that Amy used. Let y represent the number of 6-cent stamps that Amy used.

41 cents = 41/100 = $0.41

6 cents = 6/100 = $0.06

She uses 41-cent stamps and 6-cent stamps to pay $2.12 in postage. It means that

0.41x + 0.06y = 2.12

Multiplying through by 100, it becomes

41x + 6y = 212

6y = 212 -41x

We would test for corresponding values of x and y that satisfies the equation and they must be whole numbers.

If x = 3,

6y = 212 - 41 × 3 = 89

y = 89/6 = 14.8333

If x = 4,

6y = 212 - 41 × 4 = 48

y = 48/6 = 8

There are 17 kites in a kite-flying contest at the beach. There are 3 times as many box kites as butterfly kites. There are 2 mo

alina1380 [7]

C is your answer. 5x + 2 = 17

First let’s get them all in terms of x:
Box kites = 3x
Dragon kites = x + 2
Butterfly kites = x

Adding all those up:

x + 3x + x + 2 = 17
Combine like terms:
5x + 2 = 17
