Answer:

2 science fiction and 5 mystery

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we will set up a system of equations.

x (science fiction) y (mystery)

x + y = 7 This is the total books bought.

7x + 9y = 59 The amount of each set to the total cost.

Now we solve.

(-7)x + y = 7 equals

-7x - 7y = -49

added to

7x + 9y = 59

this equals

2y = 10

y = 5

Now we know one. We can plug it in to find the other value.

x + 5 = 7

x = 2

1 Which type of data is best represented using a line plot?
irakobra [83]

Answer:

#1) D frequency data that can be plotted on a number line ; #2) A Sarah read twice as many chapters Wednesday as Monday, C Sarah read more than four chapters on two days, F Sarah read at least three chapters on four days, and H The total number of chapters Sarah read on the weekend was the same as the total number she read on the weekdays.

Step-by-step explanation:

#1) A line plot shows the frequencies of data.  It is displayed over a number line; this makes the best choice for the answer "frequency data that can be plotted on a number line."

#2) We can see that Sarah read 2 chapters on Wednesday and 1 chapter on Monday.  This is twice as many chapters.

She read more than 4 chapters on both Saturday and Sunday.

She read 3 or more chapters on Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

The total number of chapters she read on the weekend was 5+6 = 11.  The total number of chapters she read on the weekdays was 1+3+2+2+3 = 11.  These are the same.

Please help............... :)
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's list all the odd numbers less than 15.

13, 11, 9, 7, 5, 3, 1

Prime numbers are numbers that can only be multiplied by 1 and themselves. But, we can see, that 9 can be multiplied by 3 and 3, making it a not-prime number (sorry I don't remember the exact name for that, I'm blanking out).

The number 9 makes that statement false.

Hope I helped! ouo.
