Answer:
percentile rank of x =
number of values before x 100
--------------------------------------------------- x ----------
number of total values on the dot plot 1
Step-by-step explanation:
you divide the number of values before x over the number of total values on the dot plot, and divide the quotient by 100 to get your percentile.
The way I like to figure out problems like this is to write it out like,
1/10 = x/6000
(One over ten equals x over 6000)
Then you find out how much you multiplied 10 by to get 6000. To do this you can divide 6000 by 10 getting 600. The rule "what you do to the bottom you have to do to top" in this equation. So since you multiplied the bottom by 600 you have to multiply the top by 600 as well. 600 times 1 is just 600.
So your answer is, 600 is 1/10 of 6000.
Hope this helps and isn't too confusing.
Kenny bought 4 1liter bottles of water
1liter is equal to 1,000 milliliters (milli means 1,000)
What that means is that in each bottle of water that he purchased, he has 1,000 milliliters
He has 4 bottles, so we simply take
4(bottles) x 1,000(amount of water in each bottle)
4 x 1,000 = 4,000 milliliters
