Answer:

120/2 = x/5....120 miles to 2 hrs = x miles to 5 hrs

cross multiply

(2)(x) = (120)(5)

2x = 600

x = 600/2

x = 300....the motorcyclist would travel 300 miles in 5 hrs

or u could do it this way..

120/2 = 60 miles per hr

60 * 5 = 300 miles

1,9,4,6,8,8 which is the median
vladimir1956 [14]
<h3>Answer:  Median = 7</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

Sort the values from smallest to largest. Doing so leads to the list {1,4,6,8,8,9}

Since the set is small enough, you can probably notice that the middle most number is a tie between the 6 and the first 8. The midpoint is (6+8)/2 = 14/2 = 7.

The median is 7.

---------------

If you wanted, you could cross off the first and last items of the set

That means we go from {1,4,6,8,8,9} to {4,6,8,8}

Then repeat to get the smaller set {6,8}

This shows we have a tie between the 6 and 8 as the middle most item, and why 7 is the median (since 7 is the midpoint between 6 and 8).

Which fraction is larger: 1/4 or 2/4
melisa1 [442]
No, the answer is 1/2 (2/4). If you have a pie, cut 4 pieces, and take one piece, that is 1/4. If you cut a pie in two pieces and take one piece, you took 1/2 AND that piece you took would be bigger than the 1/4 piece.
