The sum(9) of half of the first number(1/2a) and one third of the second number(+1/3b)
That is correct
Answer:
"The mean is the average of the numbers: a calculated "central" value of a set of numbers. To calculate it: add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are." -- Math is Fun
To solve this problem we can use simple proportion
If
270$ -------------------------3000 pesos
x $ ---------------------------100 pesos (x$ means that we dont know how much)
Now we crossmultiplying to get proportion
x*3000=270*100
Now we just to solve eq
3000x=27000 /:3000
x=27000:3000
x=9$ - its the result
Answer:
$42.88
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's create a proportion using the following setup:
cost/pounds=cost/pounds
We know that it costs $20.42 for a 10 pound turkey.
$20.42/10 pounds= cost/pounds
We don't know how much a 21 pound turkey costs, so we can say that it costs $x for a 21 pound turkey.
$20.42/ 10 pounds= $x/ 21 pounds
20.42/10=x/21
We want to find x, by getting x by itself.
x is being divided by 21. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides by 21.
21*(20.42/10)=(x/21)*21
21* 20.42/10=x
21*2.042=x
42.882=x
Round to the nearest cent, or hundredth.
42.88=x
x= $42.88
A 21 pound turkey costs $42.88
