Assume the following:

Brad has been in the soccer team for b years.

Scot has been in the soccer team for s years.


"The number of years that brad has been on the soccer team is 2 less than 5 times the number of years that Scott has"

means: b=5s-2


"in total,the boys have been on the soccer team for 10 years."

means: b+s=10


so we have the equations:

i) 
b=5s-2

ii) 
b+s=10


substitute b in ii) with 5s-2, as they are equal, from i

(5s-2)+s=10

5s-2+s=10

6s=12

s=2, 


then , from b+s=10, b=8


Answer: Brad has been in the team for 8 years.

The hourly wages earned by 20 employees are shown in the first box and whisker plot below. The person earning $15 per hour quits
serg [7]

I added the plots in the attachments.

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

The mean will decrease

The median will remain the same

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

<u>1- checking the mean:</u>

<u>Mean of the salaries is calculated as follows:</u>

Mean = \frac{sum-of-salaries}{number-of-employees}

<u>Now, we can note that two parameters affect the mean, let's consider each:</u>

<u>a. Number of employees:</u>

We are given that one employee is replaced with another. This means that the number of employees did not change

<u>b. Sum of salaries:</u>

We are given that a person earning $15 left and the new person earns $7. This means that:

New sum of salaries = old sum of salaries - 15 + 7 = old sum of salaries - 8

This means that the sum of salaries decreased by 8

<u>Now, for the mean:</u>

We can conclude that since the numerator decreased while the denominator stayed the same, the mean will decrease

<u>2- checking the median:</u>

In the whisker plots, the median is represented by the vertical line inside the plot.

<u>In the first plot,</u> we can note that the vertical line is nearly half the distance between 9 and 10. This means that, for the first plot, the median is approximately 9.5

<u>In the second plot,</u> the place of the median is unchanged. It is still approximately midway between 9 and 10 which means that the median in the second plot is approximately 9.5

Therefore, the median of the data remains unchanged.

Hope this helps :)

What is the volume??????
Ugo [173]

Answer:

36\:\mathrm{in^3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a prism is given by the product of the base and the height. In this triangular prism, the area of the either base is:

A=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 3\cdot 4=6\:\mathrm{in^2}

The height is marked as 6 inches. Thus, the volume of the prism is:

\frac{1}{2}\cdot 3\cdot 4\cdot 6=\boxed{36\:\mathrm{in^3}}

A crate that is 10 inches long, 8 inches wide, and 3 inches high is shown above. The floor and the four walls are all one inch t
miskamm [114]

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior of the crate is 10 inches long, meaning that the inside measurement is 8 inches.  Next, the 8 inch width corresponds to 6 inches inside.  Finally, the 3 inch height corresponds to 1 inch interior height.

Thus the inside floor of the box is 8 by 6 inches, or 48 square inches.

Since the inside height is only 1 inch, this means that 48 one-inch cubical blocks will fit inside the crate.
