Reading through the problem, we have "15 is",

that's "15 =", 15%, 15/100, "of", times, "what number", x.

Kipish [7]

Answer:

e<12 mean in this context means that the number of eggs in the carton is not up to 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of eggs in the carton = 12

The capacity of egg carton is depicted as e

Hence, the inequality e<12 in this context means that :

The number of eggs in the carton is less than the capacity of the egg carton

Thus we can conclude that the number of eggs in the carton is not up to 12, which is the number of eggs the carton can hold.

Answer:

OPtion B. Both the mean and median will increase, but the mean will increase by more than the median.

Explanation:

You should not need to do calculations to determine how buying the horse affects the mean and median.

Without the horse, there are 8 animals. When the data are ordered, the median is the average of the 4th and the 5th weights: (7 + 27)/2.

With the horse, there are 9 animals. The median will be the 5th weight: 27

Then, the median increases from (7 +27)/2 to 27.

What about the mean?

The horse's weight is well beyond the weight of the other 8 animals. The range increases from 160 - 2 = 158 to 900 - 2 = 898.

Then, when you calculate the mean inlcuding the weigth of the horse, there will be a high increase.

Thus, without further calculations, you can conclude that "B. Both the mean and median will increase, but the mean will increase by more than the median"

What number is 5% of 46?

saveliy_v [14]

46 x 0.05, since 5% = 0.05 (5 / 100 = 0.05)

46 x 0.05 = 2.3

7/12 is 58.33% 
How do we change fractions to percents? 
The steps are too simple. 

First, divide the numerator (the number at the top of the fraction) by the denominator (the number below the fraction). 
In the case above, 7 is the numerator and 12 is the denominator. 

So, 7 ÷ 12 = 0.58333 

Then, multiply the result by 100. 0.5833 x 100= 58.33 

Finally, add the percent (%) sign to the result. 

Therefore, 7/12 is 58.33%.
