Answer:

$x = 6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let y represent the number of meatballs in total and x represents the number of plates.

$y = 30$

$Rate = 5$ per plate

Required

Determine the value of x

To solve for x, we make use of the following expression.

$y = Rate * x$

Substitute values for y and Rate

$30 = 5 * x$

$30 = 5 x$

Divide through by 5

$30/5 = 5 x/5$

$6 = x$

$x = 6$

<em>Hence, number of plates is 6</em>

To simplify, we need to find a number that can divide both the numerator and denominator equally. Can you find a number that will do this? I can't. So it is already simplified.

Which expressionism equivalent to -60 / 5 select all that apply 60 divided by negitive 5 60 times 1/5 60 times negitive 1/5 Negi

GaryK [48]

Answer:

Equivalent expressions

A) $\frac{60}{-5}$

C) $60\times (-\frac{1}{5})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression :

$\frac{-60}{5}$

Choices given :

A) $\frac{60}{-5}$

B) $60\times \frac{1}{5}$

C) $60\times (-\frac{1}{5})$

D) $-60\times (-\frac{1}{5})$

To find the equivalent expression.

We will first evaluate the given expression.

$\frac{-60}{5}$

⇒ $-12$ [Quotient of a negative dividend and a positive divisor is always negative]

Evaluating each choice to select the equivalents.

A) $\frac{60}{-5}$

⇒ $-12$ [Quotient of a positive dividend and a negative divisor is always negative]

B) $60\times \frac{1}{5}$

⇒ $\frac{60}{5}$

⇒ $12$

C) $60\times (-\frac{1}{5})$

⇒ $-\frac{60}{5}$ [Product of a positive and a negative is always a negative]

⇒ $-12$

D) $-60\times (-\frac{1}{5})$

⇒ $\frac{60}{5}$ [Product of two negatives is always a positive]

⇒ $12$

∴ We see that the choices A and C are equivalent.

What is the standard deviation of the following data set rounded to the nearest tenth? 56 ,78 ,123 , 34, 67, 91, 20

quester [9]

Answer:

The standard deviation of the following data set is 32.2

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the mean

we have

$[56,78,123,34,67,9,20]$

Sum the data and divided by the number of elements

$[56+78+123+34+67+91+20]/7=469/7=67$

step 2

For each number: subtract the Mean and square the result

$[(56-67)^{2},(78-67)^{2},(123-67)^{2},(34-67)^{2},(67-67)^{2},(91-67)^{2},(20-67)^{2}]$

$[121,121,3,136,1,089,0,576,2,209]$

step 3

Work out the mean of those squared differences

$[121+121+3,136+1,089+0+576+2,209]/7=1,036$

This value is called the "Variance"

step 4

Take the square root of the variance

$standard\ deviation=\sqrt{1,036}=32.2$
