Rates Question
12 A highway had a landslide, where 3,000 cubic yards of material fell on the road, requiring 200 dump truck loads to clear. On another highway, a slide left 40,000 cubic yards on the road. How many dump truck loads would be needed to clear this slide?
3,000 yd3 = 200 dtl
40,000 yd3 × 200 dtl = 2,667 dtl
3, 000 yd3
The answer is 6.601, and therefore, the second option.
The ratio would be 2:6 or 1:3 in its simplest form.
When you add all the number together you get 364.6 round it = 365
Because 6 is > 5
The mean is the average.
i’ve found this a helpful way to remember:
the medians the middle
the mean old average
