Answer:

Celery = 3/8 cups

Tomatoes = 2/5 cups

Carrot = 5/4 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

CLUE 1: The amounts were 2/5 cup, 3/4 cup, and 5/8 cup

CLUE 2: There is less celery than tomatoes.

CLUE 3: There is less tomatoes than carrots

From clue 2 and 3:

Tomato > Celery ; Carrots > tomatoes

From least to highest :

Celery < Tomatoes < Carrot

Arranging clue 1 in ascending order :

2/5 = 0.4

3/8 = 0.375

5/4 = 1. 25

Hence,

3/8 < 2/5 < 5/4

Celery = 3/8 cups

Tomatoes = 2/5 cups

Carrot = 5/4 cups

Add three data values to the following data set so the mean increases by 10 but the median does not change. The numbers are 42 3
777dan777 [17]
In order the numbers are 20, 29, 32, 37, 42.
So that means the median is 32. In order for the median to stay the same one of the three data values must be 32 as well as adding a number to each side of the ends. One 32 or less another 32or more.
The mean right now is: 20+29+32+37+42=160 and there are 5 values.
Mean: 160/5=32
For it to increase by 10 it has to be 42.
extra 3 numbers I used were 31, 32, & 113 (those are your answer)

In a certain clothing store,6 shirts and 3 ties cost $79.50 ,and 3 shirts and 2 ties cost $41. determine the cost of each shirt.
Komok [63]

Answer:

Each shirt cost $12

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to interpret this question and turn each to an equation, letting shirts represent the letter s and ties represent the letter t.

6 shirts and 3 ties cost $79.50 would be interpreted to 6s+3t=79.5 ,and 3 shirts and 2 ties cost $41 would be interpreted to 3s+2t=41

Hence we have two equations, and we solve them simultaneously.

6s+3t=79.5 (Equation 1)

3s+2t=41 (Equation 2)

We can either use the substitution method or the elimination method but for the sake of this question, we use the Elimination method.

6s+3t=79.5 (Equation 1)

3s+2t=41 (Equation 2)

We multiply equation 1 by 2 and we multiply equation 2 by 3, I'm prefer to eliminate the

2(6s+3t=79.5)

12s+6t=159 Equation 3

3(3s+2t=41)

9s+6t=123 Equation 4

We subtract equation 4 from equation 3.

12s+6t=159

9s+6t=123

12s-9s=3s

6t-6t=0

159-123=36

We therefore have

3s=36

Divide both sides by 3

s=36/3

s=12

One shirt cost $12
