Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's look at to the right of 0... The closest number there is .3

Now let's look at -3/8=-0.375.

So taking the absolute value of each we would should see the number who has a greater distance from 0 is -0.375 since .375>.3

so the answer is .3.

12, 9, 15, 19, 20, 15<br><br> Mean <br><br> Median <br><br> Mode

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Mean: 15

Median: 15

Mode: 15

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>Definitions:</h2>

<u>Mean</u>: It represents the average value of a given data set. The formula for finding the mean of a given set of numbers by taking the quotient of all numbers and the number of values. In other words:

$\displaystyle\mathsf{Mean\:=\:\frac{Sum\:of \:all\: values}{Number\:of\:values \:in\: a \:given \:data\:set}}$

<u>Median:</u> It represents the middle value in a given set of numbers. In order to determine the median, it is essential to arrange the given data either in <em>ascending</em> or <em>descending</em> order (although it is customary to arrange the numbers into ascending order).

If there is an odd number of values in a given set, then the <u>middle number</u> is the median of that set.

If a given list comprises of an even number of items, then we must take the <em>average</em> of the two middle numbers.

<u>Mode</u>: It represents the number that <u>occurs most often</u> on a list of items or data.

<h2>Solution:</h2><h3><u>Find the Mean:</u></h3>

Using the formula provided in the previous section for finding the mean:

$\displaystyle\mathsf{Mean\:=\:\frac{Sum\:of \:all\: values}{Number\:of\:values \:in\: a \:given \:data\:set}}$

$\displaystyle\mathsf{Mean\:=\:\frac{12+9+15+19+20+15}{6}\:=\:\frac{90}{6}\:=\:15}$

<h3><u>Find the Median:</u></h3>

Arrange the given data set in <u><em>ascending order</em></u>:

12, 9, 15, 19, 20, 15 ⇒ 9, 12, <u>15</u>, <u>15</u>, 19, 20

Next, since there is an even number of items on our given data set, we must <u>take the average of the</u><u> two middle numbers</u> (which are 15 and 15):

$\displaystyle\mathsf{Median\:=\:\frac{15+15}{2}\:=\:\frac{30}{2}\:=\:15}$

Therefore, the median is 15.

As described in the previous section of this post, the mode is the number that occurs most often on our given data. The only repeating number on our list is 15, hence it is the mode.

Therefore, the <em>mean</em>, <em>median</em>, and <em>mode</em> of the given data set is <u>15</u>.

Brandon uses the steps below to solve the equation 15x +6 = 14x +5 using algebra tiles.

Fed [463]

Answer:

D. Brandon is not correct because he should have added 6 negative unit tiles to isolate the variable in step 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Key goal is to have x on one side while the other value to the right. By subtracting 14x on both sides, you would get x+6=5. You would finally subtract 6 on both sides, not 5, to get the x by itself, thus x=-1.

Write an equation for the sentence below. Then solve the equation.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

The answer is D thirteen multiplied by h is 13h. The word "is" typically means = so 13h=104. to solve for this you want to isolate the h on one side of the equation. to do this we need to get rid of the 13 and move it on the other side of the equation. the new equation is h=104÷13. So, h=8. Hope this helps!

Lucy studies 1 hour less than twice the number of hours a week that rose studies. Lucy studies for 11 hours a week. How many hou

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Lucy studies one less (-1) than twice the number of hours a week that rose studies (2 * R), lucy studies 11 hours a week. What we do is add 1 hour to lucy's 11, to get 12, then divide by 2 as lucy studies twice the hours. 12 / 2 = 6.
