Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the average is the sum divided by the count, the sum is the average times the count.
So the sum of the weights of the watermelons is 10(4.3)=43 pounds.
The sum of the weights of the pumpkins are 5(3.4)=17 pounds
The sum of the weight of the fruits is 43+17=60 pounds
Dividing by 15 fruits gives an average item weight of 60/15 = 4 pounds
To be able to determine the number of M&Ms that are needed in order to measure the length of Mississippi River, we convert the units to a common one. For this purpose, we convert kilometers to centimeter such that,
Length of Mississippi River = (4000 km)(1000 m/1 km)(100 cm/1 m)
= 400,000,000 cm
Since there are 400,000,000 cm in the entire length of the river, the answer would also be 400,000,000.
Answer: 4:20
Step-by-step explanation:
60 lbs can be divided into three groups, in this case the bags of sand, so 60 divided by 3 is 20.
Now you have the 8 lbs left. It gets divided into two groups/bags so you would do 8 divided by 2 is 4.
Then for your ratio it is cement to sand which is 4:20. You can write the ratio however way you want or what is required by the question.(fraction bar, ‘to’, or colon ‘:’ )
Hope this helps!
