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...?

The points J, K, L and M all lie on the same line segment, in that order, such that the ratio of JK:KL:LMJK:KL:LM is equal to 1:
RideAnS [48]

Answer: JL = 25

Step-by-step explanation: Segment JM is the total measure of the line segment and it equals 45.

Suppose first segment JK measures d.

The total ratio is the sum of each part

d + 4d + 4d = 9d

The sum of each part corresponds to the total measure of the line segment. Then:

9d = 45

d = 5

Segment JL is

JL = d + 4d

JL = 5d

JL = 5.5

JL = 25

Segment JL measures 25 units.

How to change improper fraction to a mixed number​
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:  

Step-by-step explanation :Answer

To chance an improper fraction into a mixed number first divide the numerator by the denominator

Example 11/5 divide 11 by 5 and you get 2.2 that means that 5 goes into 11 twice with some leftover which means the answer is going to be 2 plus a fraction

To get the fraction you multiply the denominator by the whole number you found (5*2) and subtract the numerator by that new number

5*2=10 11-10=1

Your new fraction is now 2 1/5
