Mathematics
1 answer:
n200080 [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

i) 1.25m

ii) 32 books

Step-by-step explanation:

60 identical books occupies = length of 1.5m

(i) the length occupied by 50 such books on

a shelf,

If:

60 books = 1.5m

50 books = y m

60 × ym = 1.5 × 50

ym = 1.5 × 50/60

= 1.25 m

Therefore, 50 of such books occupies a length of 1.25m

(ii) the number of such books needed to completely

occupy a shelf that is 80 cm long.​

100 cm = 1m

80 cm = x m

Cross Multiply

xm = 80/100

= 0.8 m

If : 1.5 m = 60 books

0.8 m = y books

Cross Multiply

= 1.5m × y books = 60 books × 0.8m

y books = 60 books × 0.8m/1.5m

y books = 32 books

Therefore, 32 books occupies a shelf that is 80 cm or 0.8 m long

Find the median of the data. <br><br> 24,74,61,29,38,27,68,54
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The median of the data is 46.

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the numbers in order so it would look like this.

24, 27, 29, 38, 54, 61, 68, 74

The ones in the middle would be the mean, however, there are two numbers in an even-number data, 38 and 54.

Add these two numbers together to get 92 and divide that number by 2 to get your median which is 46.

For homework Tina is asked to write down the opposite value for each number listed which comparison did Tina write incorrectly
katovenus [111]

In writing down the opposite value of each number, the comparison Tina wrote incorrectly is: Comparison X

<em><u>Recall:</u></em>

  • Opposite values of a number are numbers that are of the same distance from point zero on a number line.
  • For example, if a is a number, the opposite of a is -a. Or if -3 is a number, the opposite of -3 is 3 because -3 and 3 are both 3 units away from point zero on a number line.

Thus, Tina's comparison is given in the diagram attached below.

The comparison labelled X is incorrect because -(-9) = 9. Opposite of 9 is -9.

Therefore, in writing down the opposite value of each number, the comparison Tina wrote incorrectly is: Comparison X
