Let us say the two numbers are x and y and x>y.
The data we have are;
Difference between the numbers are 12.
3 times larger number is equal to 7 times smaller number.
Then we can write;
 ----(1)
 ----(2)
From (1) we can say 
Then substituting  to (2) gives;




Then;


Answer:
c. 20,000cm
Step-by-step explanation:
from is house to the park is 100m
from the park back to his house is another 100m
100m+100m=200m
1m = 100cm
200m = xcm
cross multiply
xcm = 200×100
xcm= 20,000cm
Answer:
9 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Since both pools are similar, therefore the ratio of their length and width would be equal. That is:
Length of the current swimming pool : length of the new swimming pool = width of the current swimming pool : width of the new swimming pool
Thus, we can set up a proportion as shown below:
Let the width of the new swimming pool be x.
40 : 24 = 15 : x

Cross multiply


Divide both sides by 40


The width of the new swimming that is smaller would be 9 yards.
IQR = 6
First locate the median
at the centre of the data arranged in ascending order. Then locate the lower and upper quartiles
and
located at the centre of the data to the left and right of the median.
Note that if any of the above are not whole values then they are the average of the values either side of the centre.
rearrange data in ascending order
15 16 ↓17 17 18 21 22 ↓23 25
↑
= 18
=
= 16.5
=
= 22.5
IQR =
-
= 22.5 - 16.5 = 6
1...2...5...10 are the factors of 20 that go into 50.
