The mean length of 6 childrens' big finger is 6.7cm.
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

New mean length of these 17 people=11.62

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Step 1: Determine the total length of children's fingers</em>

L=l×n

where;

L=total length (cm)

l=mean length (cm)

n=number of children

replacing;

L=6.7×6=40.2 cm

The total children's fingers length=40.2 cm

<em>Step 2: Determine the total length of adults fingers</em>

total length of adults fingers=mean length of adults fingers×number of adults

where;

mean length of adults=14.3

number of adults=11

replacing;

total length of adults fingers=(14.3×11)=157.3 cm

<em>Step 3: Determine the new mean length</em>

new mean length=total length of adults and children fingers/number of adults and children

where;

total length of adults and children fingers=157.3+40.2=197.5 cm

number of adults and children=11+6=17

replacing;

new mean length=197.5/17=11.62

I buy a MP3 player for £40 in a sale where it was 20% off. What was the original price
natta225 [31]
20% off means you paid only 80% of the original price.
0.8x=40
x=40÷0.8=50
so the original price is 50

Which shows a perfect square trinomial?
anastassius [24]
The answer is <span>c. 16x2 + 24xy + 9y2.

Since we need trinomial (three term expression) choices a and b are incorrect because they have only two terms.

So, our square trinomial is a</span>² + 2ab + b² or a² - 2ab + b²
a² + 2ab + b² = (a + b)²
a² - 2ab + b² = (a - b)²

Let's check choices c and d:
c) 16x² + 24xy + 9y²
a² = 16x²
a² = (4x)²
a = 4x

b² = 9y²
b² = (3y)²
b = 3y

a² + 2ab + b² = (4x)² + 2 * 4x * 3y + (3y)² = 16x² + 24xy + 9y²
CORRECT

d) 49x² - 70xy + 10y²
a² = 49x²
a² = (7x)²
a = 7x

b² = 10y²
b² = (y√10)²
b = y√10

a² + 2ab + b² = (7x)² + 2 * 7x * y√10 + (y√10)² = 49x² + 14xy√10 + 10y²
INCORRECT

So, c) is correct answer
