Answer:
The greater integer is -3.
Step-by-step explanation:
As the problem indicates that fishes are <em>below sea level, </em>you take into account that sea level is 0 feet, and from there, as they are below, you mark their positions as <em>negative integers.</em>
See picture below where fishes position is marked. You can see there that the fish that is in position -3 is the number nearest 0, so -3 is greater than -4.
Answer:
the correct choice is marked
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the smaller number. Then the larger number is 8x, and the difference is ...
8x -x = 280
7x = 280 . . . . . simplify
x = 40 . . . . . . divide by 7
The larger number is 8x = 8(40) = 320.

<em>Additional comment</em>
Effectively, we have solved for the multiplier (40) that gives the ratio with 320 on top and a difference between top and bottom of 280:
a) 20.9
The mean is calculated by adding up the scores and dividing the total by the number of scores, it is also called the average.
First, we can count and see there are 11 players (makes sense for a football team). Adding up the ages gives us 19 + 19 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 21 + 22 + 22 + 22 + 22 + 23 = 230. Divide by 11 and we get a mean of of about 20.9!
b) 30
To figure this out, we will set up an equation that looks like this:
And now we will solve:
[multiply both sides by 12] 230 + x = 264
[subtract 130 from both sides] x = 30
So the age of the new player should be 30!
Have a nice day!
I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)
