Well, let's calculate how many points in total he got so far!

He did 8 quizzes, on average 85 points: 85*8=680 points.

He scored a number of points in his ninth quiz, let's call this number "x".

If we want to calculate the average after the ninth quiz, we take the sum of points then (which is 680+x) and we divide it by 9:

(680+x)/9

we also know that this is equal to 81:

(680+x)/9=81

\frac{(680+x)}{9}=81

multiply both sides by 9:

(680+x)}=729

substracting 680 from both sides:

x=49

well, i got 49 too.

I really can't see where the mistake could be?

where did you check it? my best guess is that the place where you checked it had a typo...?

What is the formula for finding the perimeter of a quads?
VLD [36.1K]

The formula for finding the perimeter of a quadrilateral is  Length + Length + Width + Width.

<h3>What is Perimeter?</h3>
  • A perimeter is the path that surrounds a certain shape. To calculate the path that surrounds a quadrilateral, we need to get the sum of its four sides, both lengths and widths, lengths being the longest sides and the widths being the shortest.
  • The formula used for calculating perimeter is Perimeter = Length + Length + Width + Width.
  • For instance, to calculate the perimeter of a parallelogram with a side of 5 cm and one of 3 cm, we insert the numbers in their corresponding spot in the formula as such: Perimeter=5+5+3+3=16 cm or since parallelograms have 2 sets of 2 equal sides, we can use this formula Perimeter=(5×2)+(3×2)=10+6=16 cm.
  • For a square on the other hand, we only need to know the length of one side because it has 4 equal sides.

Therefore, the formula for finding the perimeter of a quadrilateral is  Length + Length + Width + Width.

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

8 groups.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that Luis purchased 24 purple plants and 8 pink plants. He wants to plant them in equal groups in his garden. We are asked to find out largest number of groups he can make.

To solve this problem we will find GCF of 24 and 8.

Factors of 24 are: 1,2,3,4,6,8,12 and 24.

Factors of 8 are 1,2,4 and 8.

We can see that greatest common factor of 24 and 8 is 8.

Therefore, Luis can make 8 groups each having 3 purple plants and 1 pink plant.
