Answer:

66

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for the mean of a set of numbers:

                  sum of the numbers

average = --------------------------------

                     count of numbers

Here we know that the average mark was 68, so we can write:

               

                           75 + 62 + 84 + 53 + x

average = 68 = ----------------------------------

                                           5

or                            274 + x

                  68 = -------------------

                                    5

Solving for x, we multiply both sides by 5:     340 = 274 + x.

Subtracting 274 from both sides effectively isolates x:

 340 = 274 + x

- 274    -274

------------------------

  66      =    x

The fifth student's mark was 66.

Answer:

3.54>0.354

Step-by-step explanation:

2.80 is greater than 2.68 not less.

0.257 is greater than 0.1574 not less.

9.04 is less than 9.4 not greater.

The only correct answer is 3.54>0.354 because the 3 in 3.54 is greater than the 0 in 0.354.
