Answer:

5\ shifts

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out the number of shifts per day, divide the total number of hours per day the pool is open by each lifeguard's shift.

Convert to an improper fraction first

7\frac{1}{2}\ h=\frac{7*2+1}{2}=\frac{15}{2}\ h  

1\frac{1}{2}\ h=\frac{1*2+1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}\ h  

so

(15/2)/(3/2)=15/3=5\ shifts

What is the median of the data set? {17, 40, 23, 44, 44, 30} Enter your answer in the box.
beks73 [17]
To find the median of the data set, we must first order them from lowest to highest in increasing order. Let's rearrange them in that way:

{17, 23, 30, 40, 44, 44}

Then we begin by crossing one off from each side, until we get to the middle. However, we see that our middle here is both 30 and 40.

What we do in a case like this is add up the two numbers and divide by 2 (essentially find the mean of the two middlemost numbers). Let's do that now:

30+40=70

\frac{70}{2}=35

So now we know that the median of the set of data is 35.

A storm moves at a rate of 8 miles per hour. It is 200 miles away from Freeport and headed directly for this town. The equation
Eduardwww [97]

Pls see answer below.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, our slope is -8. This means that every hour, the storm is getting closer to the town by 8 miles per hour.

Our y-intercept is 200, which means that its' initial position is 200 miles away from the town.

Hope this helped.
