Step-by-step explanation:

This is a word problem that we must translate to mathematical expression before we can solve.

let the individual saving be the first letters of the names

Jada= J

Lin= L

Elena= E

1. Jada saved $20 less than Lin

    J=L-20

2. Lin saved 3 times as much money as Elena

   L= 3E

3. Hence Elena saved

   E

Together they saved $120.

hence

(L-20)+3E+E= 120

L-20+3E+E= 120

collecting like terms we hav

L+4E=120+20

L+4E= 140

but we know that L= 3E

3E+4E= 140

7E= 140

divide both sides by 7 we have

E= 140/7

E= $20

This means Elena saves $70

also  L= 3E

L= 3*20

L= $60

this means that Lean saved $60

also  J=L-20

J= 60-20

J= $40

This means that Jada saved $40

A.Calculate the mean,median and mode.(3 points each) 1.)1,2,3,4,5 2.)2,3,4,5,6,6 3.)6,7,5,4,5,6,2,5
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.)1,2,3,4,5

mean=sum of all values/number of values

         =1+2+3+4+5/5

         =15/5

mean=3

Mode :

In the given data, no observation occurs more than once.

Hence the mode of the observations does not exist, means mode=0.

Median

1,2,3,4,5

Middle value is 3 so the median is 3.

2.)2,3,4,5,6,6

mean=sum of all values/number of values

         =2+3+4+5+6+6/6

         =26/6

mean =4.33

Mode

      is that value of the observation which occurs maximum number of times so here mode is 6.

Median

2,3,4,5,6,6

 4+5/2

9/2

median=4.5

3.)6,7,5,4,5,6,2,5

mean=sum of all values/number of values

         =6+7+5+4+5+6+2+5/8

        =40/8

mean =5

Mode

is that value of the observation which occurs maximum number of times so here mode is 5

Median

2,4,5,5,5,6,6,7

5+5/2

10/2

median=5

Jimmy has a diecast metal car that is a scale model of an actual race car. If the actual length of the car is 10 feet 6 inches a
kirill115 [55]
The scale factor would be -8 because...

126 inches / 7 inches = 8 inches. 

Because the car is bigger than the scale, it would be a negative scale factor.
