Hello There!
To find the mean, add up all the numbers and divide according to how many numbers there are. The mean for this set would be <em>"9"</em>
<em></em>
To find the median, place the numbers in value order and find the middle. if there is no middle, add up the two numbers in middle and divide by 2. In this set, the median would be <em>"8.5"</em>
<em></em>
To find the mode or modal value, it is best to put the numbers in order. Then count how many of each number. A number that appears most often is the mode. In this set, there would be no mode.
The range of a set of data is the difference between the highest and lowest values in the set. In this set, the range would be <em>"12"</em>
A. 7*4
because there are no parentheses or exponents so multiplication is next
6+y
Since increased (key word) means addition.
Hey there!
When we're adding with different denominators, our goal is to keep the equivalent fraction, but create like denominators.
Let's think of an easier situation. If we have the number 5 and we want an equivalent number, we multiply by one. It's no different with fractions. We want to multiply by some version of one, like 2/2 or 4/4
For example, if we have:
2/8 + 4/6
Our LCM is 24. Therefore, we multiply 2/8 by 3/3:
2/8(3/3) = 6/24
And 4/6 by 4/4:
4/6(4/4) = 16/24
As you can see, we multiplied by versions of 1, so they're still the same fraction.
We have:
16/24 + 6/24 = 22/24 = 11/12
Hope this helps!
