Answer:

16 pieces of spearmint gum

Step-by-step explanation:

For every five pieces of peppermint gum, there are 2 pieces of spearmint gum.

First, divide the total number of peppermint gum by 5:

40/5 = 8

Multiply this number by 2 (pieces of spearmint) to get the number of spearmint gum pieces:

8 x 2 = 16

Proof:

Ratio is 40 : 16, dividing this by 8 will reduce the ratio to 5:2

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

99 points

Step-by-step explanation:

Average of a data a is the sum of the data divided by the number of data.

Average = sum of data ÷ number of data

A = T/n .....1

For the average of 5 test to be 90.

The total sum of score must be;

Number of tests n = 5

Average A = 90

Substituting into equation 1

90 = T/5

T = 90×5 = 450 points

The total score must be equal to 450 point to have an average of 90 points

The sum of the first four test is;

88+84+88+91 = 351

Let x represent the first score,

351 + x = 450

x = 450 - 351

x = 99 points

The minimum score she can get in the fifth test is 99 points
