1 answer:

8 0

You would make all the fractions have the same common denominator of 12. First you would keep the fraction 7/12 because the denominator is already 12. Next you would take the fraction 1/3 and multiply it by 4/4 and the new fraction for 1/3 becomes 4/12. Lastly you would take 2/3 and multiply that by 4/4 and the fraction becomes 8/12. Now you can compare the fractions with the same denominator. Therefore 7/12 is greater than 1/3 but less than 2/3

Ipatiy [6.2K]

First: work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing. Increase = New number - Original Number

Then: divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. % Increase = Increase ÷ Original Numberｘ100
30 - 22 = 8
8 ÷ 22ｘ100 = 36.3636363636

Solve : 20-9x=11 4(2x+1)=8 5(2x+5)=-15 3(8x+1)=-21

laila [671]

20-9x=11
-9x=11-20
-9x= -9
x= -9/(-9)
x=1

4(2x+1)=8
2x+1=8/4
2x+1=2
2x=2-1
2x=1
x=1/2
x=0.5

5(2x+5)=-15
2x+5= -15/5
2x+5= -3
2x= -3-5
2x= -8
x= -8/2
x=-4

3(8x+1)=-21
8x+1= -21/3
8x+1= -7
8x= -7-1
8x =-8
x= -8/8
x= -1

The mean height of the basketball players is 80.3 inches

For given question,

we have been given the list of heights, in inches, for a sample of college basketball players.

We need to find the mean height of the basketball players.

We know that, for given sample of data

mean = sum of all observations ÷ total number of observation

First we find the sum of given heights.

78 + 83 + 82 + 78 + 78 + 80+ 81 +79+ 79 +83+ 77 +78+ 84+ 82+ 80+ 80 +82+ 84+78+ 80 = 1606

Total number of observations = 20

Using the formula of mean,

⇒ mean height = 1606/20

⇒ mean height = 80.3 inches

Therefore, the mean height of the basketball players is 80.3 inches
