Answer:
Each shelter would get 121 blankets
And there would be 5 blankets left over
Step-by-step explanation:
One of the local homeless shelters received a donation of 852 blankets to help support the homeless population during the harsh winter months. They plan on distributing them to all 7 of the local shelters. How many blankets will each shelter get? Will there be any leftover? If so, how many?
From the above question
7 local shelters = 852 blankets
1 local shelters = x blankets
Cross Multiply.
7x = 852 blankets
x = 852 blankets/7
x = 121 5/7 blankets
Therefore, Each shelter would get 121 blankets
And there would be 5 blankets left over
Find the median of each set:-
Median is middle number of a data set. If a data set has an odd number of numbers then the median is the middle number when ordered form least to greatest but if its an even number you have to find the mean for the middle 2 numbers when ordered for least to greatest.
A.
1.2, 2.4, 3.2, 3.2, 3.6, 4.0, 4.1, 4.7
Even numbers = 8
3.2 + 3.6 = 6.8
6.8 ÷ 2 =
Median = 3.4
So this shows that A isn't the answer because the median of A is 3.4, not 3.2.
B.
1.6, 2.8, 2.9, 3.1, 3.3, 3.6, 4.2, 4.5
Even numbers = 8
3.1 + 3.3 = 6.4
6.4 ÷ 2 = 3.2
Median = 3.2
<span>So this shows that B is the answer because the median of B is 3.2.
C.
1.8, 2.0, 2.0, 2.2, 3.2, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9
</span>
Even numbers = 8
2.2 + 3.2 = 5.4
5.4 ÷ 2 = 2.7
Median = 2.7
<span>So this shows that C isn't the answer because the median of C is 2.7, not 3.2.
</span>
D.
1.4, 1.7, 2.9, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.2, 3.2, 4
Odd numbers = 9
Median = 3.1
<span>So this shows that D isn't the answer because the median of D is 3.1, not 3.2.
</span>
The stem and leaf plot which median is 3.2 is B.
