Answer:
Equation: 
Solve for n: n = 112
Step-by-step explanation:
To first set up the equation, you need to look at the verbal description and translate into numbers and operations:
'three fourths a number' = 
'plus 8' = + 8
'is' =
'20 less' = - 20
'the number' = n
Put the expressions together:
'three fourths a number plus 8': 
'20 less than the number': n - 20
Set them equal to each other and solve:
Add 20 to both sides: 
Subtract 
from both sides: 
Multiply both sides by 
: 
Solve for n: n = 112
Answer: Average or Mean
Step-by-step explanation:
The center of measure calculated was the average or mean. To get the mean of a set of numbers, we have to add all the numbers given and then divide them by the numbers.
In this case, the mean of 3,7,11,11,16 will be:
= (3 + 7 + 11 + 11 + 16) / 5
= 48/5
= 9.6
Answer:
The elevator stops on the 19th floor.
Step-by-step explanation:
On the 16th floor, goes up 12 floors:
16 + 12 = 28
On the 28th floor, goes down 7 floors:
28 - 7 = 21
On the 21st floor, does up 3 floors:
21 + 3 = 24
On the 24th floor, goes down 5 floors:
24 - 5 = 19
2 1/2 yds = 2.5 x 36 = 90 inches...what she started with
2 ft 8 in = 2(12) + 8 = 32 inches...what she had left
90 - x = 32
90 - 32 = x
x = 58 inches....so she used 58 inches
8z +3 - 2z < 51
6z + 3 < 51
-3. -3
6z < 48
-- ---
6. 6
z<8
