Ok, so first let's convert 1/2 to eights. Now we need to find something greater than 2/8, but less than 4/8. So you can draw a number line, or do it mentally. So at the end you should get 3/8, which is LESS than 4/8 but GREATER than 2/8.
Group A:
1 dot at 9: 1 x 9 = 9
7 dots at 10: 7 x 10 = 70
8 dots at 15: 8 x 15 = 120
8 dots at 17: 8 x 17 = 136
6 dots at 19: 6 x 19 = 114
Mean: (9+70+120+136+114) / (1+7+8+8+6) = 449/30 = 14.97
Group B:
6 dots at 10: 6 x 10 = 60
5 dots at 14: 5 x 14 = 70
6 dots at 18: 6 x 18 = 108
5 dots at 25: 5 x 25 = 125
4 dots at 28: 4 x 28 = 112
4 dots at 29: 4 x 29 = 116
mean: (60+70+108+125+112+116) / (6+5+6+5+4+4) = 591 / 30 = 19.70
The group that has a lower mean age of painting students is Group A. Its mean is 14.97 or 15 years of age.
6 repeating so the answer would be 31.666666..... or round it up 31.666666667
The answer in simplest form is 7/30
The answer is 17.75 rupees
