Answer:

It is not possible for Alice to score an average of 75% because what she needs to score in the fifth exam exceeds the maximum possible score.

Step-by-step explanation:

She scored an average 68% in all 4 exams.

This means; (68% + 68% + 68% + 68%)/4

Now, a fifth exam is added and we want to know if her average can now be 75%.

Thus, let the score in the 5th exam be x and we now have;

(68% + 68% + 68% + 68% + x)/5 = 75%

Multiply both sides by 5 to get;

(68% + 68% + 68% + 68% + x) = 375%

272% + x = 375%

x = 375% - 272%

x = 103%

The maximum score is 100% and therefore it is impossible for her to score 103%. Therefore it is not possible for Alice to score an average of 75%

What is the least number of degrees you could rotate a regular pentagon (5 equal side lengths) around its center so that it appe
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Well, I'm not the smartest person, nor do I exactly know what you mean, but I have a wild guess that the least you could rotate it is 100 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the fact that it's sides are all equal, you could compare this to a square, which also has equal sides. Its angles are equal, too, so you could measure it's angles (100 degrees) and turn it that exact amount,

I hope this helps you, like I said, I don't exactly know what you are talking about, I am not studying that sort of thing yet.
