Answer:
New mean=71.32
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression for the total initial score is;
T=M×S
where;
T=total initial score
M=mean score
S=number in the set
replacing;
T=unknown
M=72
S=17
replacing;
T=72×17=1,224
The total initial score=1,224
Determine the total score by;
total score=total initial score+total final score
where;
total initial score=1,224
total final score=(68+63)=131
replacing;
total score=1,224+131=1,355
Determine the new mean;
New mean=total score/new number
where;
total score=1,355
new number=(17+2)=19
replacing;
new mean=1,355/19=71.32
First let's find out how many cups serve one person.
3 ÷ 5 = 1.6
1.6 of a cup serves one person.
1.6 × 13 = 20.8
It takes 20.8 (21 rounded) to serve 13 people.
19x - 22 is you combine like terms!
The answer would be 11 gallons.
The tub starts with 32 gallons. Every minute it loses 3 gallons.
So after 1 minute it has lost 3 gallons. For example:
32-3= 29 Meaning that after 1 minute the tub has 29 gallons left.
Now you have to remember that the tub is draining for 7 minutes. So it is losing 3 gallons 7 times, because it loses 3 gallons each minute and there are 7 minutes.
We can use multiplication to find how many gallons the tub loses after 7 minutes. This sign “X” basically means “groups of”. We have 7 groups of 3, or
7 X 3
This is the same as saying we have 3, 7 times. Written like this:
3+3 +3 +3 +3 +3 +3 = 21
So after 7 minutes the tub has lost 21 gallons.
Now we take the original number of gallons and take away what was lost:
32-21=11
So there are 11 gallons left after 7 minutes.
Please let me know if you need any further explanation. Hope this helped.
