Since they want a product, that means multiplication. We want to multiply a whole number and a fraction to get 5/3. When we multiply fractions, you multiply across the numerator and across the denominator. So in this case we want to multiply 2 numbers to get 5 a decimal 2 numbers to get 3. Each of these numbers only have 2 factors so
5 × 1 = 5 and
3 × 1 = 3
So we are going to multiply
5 × 1/3 =
5/1 × 1/3 = 5/3
It is $81.00, $2700 * .03 = 81
It is 5 because it is an odd number and 5 factors are 5
Hexagon has six edges. The figure you're trying to figure out is hexagon I guess.
Answer: The average age is 7.1 years.
This problem is an example of when we need to take a weighted average. We simply can't just find the average of 5 and 8, because there are different children of each each.
To start, lets multiply the total number of children by their individual ages.
6 x 5 = 30 years
14 x 8 = 112 years
There are 142 years among the 20 years, so divide 142 by 20. This gives us an average age of 7.1 years.
