Answer:
a) (2.64 -2/9 -0.35 +5/8)/4
b) perform the sum, then the division, then round as needed
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The average of a number of items is their sum, divided by the number of items. Here, we want the average of 4 changes, so we compute it as the sum of the changes divided by 4.
average change = (2.64 -2/9 -0.35 +5/8)/4

b) My calculator is capable of adding these numbers directly. For a result rounded to the nearest hundredth, it can be a good idea to represent the fractions using at least 3 decimal digits.
So, the steps would be ...
- convert fractions to their decimal equivalents, using 3 decimal digits
- add up the values
- divide by 4
- round to hundredths
Performing these steps, we get ...
average change = (2.64 -0.222 -0.35 +0.625)/4 = 2.693/4
average change ≈ 0.67 . . . degrees
The average daily temperature change of a city was 0.67 degrees.
Triangle Area = .5 * (base * height)
36 = (base * height) / 2
So let's say base = 9 height 8
If base and height are scaled by a factor if 5 than
base = 45 height 40 and
area = .5 * (45 * 40)
area = 900
Basically, the area increases by a factor of 25.
The base increases by 5 and the height increases by 5 so the area increases by 5*5 = 25
Our first expression is
. Upon distributing the exponent 4 on all the terms, we get:

Therefore, your answer is correct for this part. :)
Second expression is
. Upon distributing the exponent -2 on all the terms, we get:

Your second answer is correct too.
Our third expression is
. Upon distributing the exponent 2 on all the terms, we get:

This one is not correct. Your answer would have been correct, if the exponent were -2 instead of 2 in this part.
Our forth and last expression is
. Upon distributing the exponent -5 on all the terms inside the parenthesis, we get:

Therefore, your answer for this part is also correct.
Looking at your work, I don't think you made a mistake in number 3 also, probably mis-typed the question while writing here :)
The sample space would be 27. The probability of getting 3 heads if you flip 3 pennies is 1/27.
Hope it helps! :)
