I have no clue ...I'm nt so good in maths
Given:
The given sets are:
Set a : 200, 104, 100, 160.
Set b: 270, 400, 483, 300, x.
Mean of set a: mean of set b= 3:8
To find:
The value of x.
Solution:
Formula for mean:

The mean of set of a is:



The mean of set of b is:



It is given that,
Mean of set a: mean of set b= 3:8




Isolate the variable x.


Divide both sides by 3.


Therefore, the value of x is 427.
Answer:
64 ivy stems
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem we can use rule of three:
Firstly we had 72 ivy stems to use in 18 centerpieces, and know we have 16 centerpieces and want to know how many ivy stems we need to use, so:
18 centerpieces -> 72 ivy stems
16 centerpieces -> X ivy stems
18/16 = 72/X
X = 16*72/18 = 64
He needs to use now 64 ivy stems to maintain the ratio.
When you have an equation that has variables and you know the value of those variables, just plug it it. So plugging the vaules we get
Just evaluating we get 4
