Answer:
The mode, which is 7, is not a typical distance for the data. The median, which is 3.5, is not a typical distance for the data. The mean, which is 4, is a typical distance for the data. So, Grace’s reasoning is not correct.
Answer: A because that’s what makes the most sense
Let n be the smallest of these integers. The other two are then n + 2 and n + 4.
"triple of the sum of thrice the third one and twice the first one is equal to 291" is a long-winded way of saying
3 (3 (n + 4) + 2n) = 291
Solve for n :
3 (3n + 12 + 2n) + 291
3 (5n + 12) = 291
15n + 36 = 291
15n = 255
n = 17
Then the greatest of the three integers is n + 4 = 21.
Answer:
well if the bottom two are 30 then that leaves you with 70

Answer:
(d) 36 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Use your sense of geometry.
The hypotenuse of a right triangle will never be less than the longest side, and will never be greater than 1.5 times the longest side*.
That means the only reasonable answer choices will be between 30 and 45 feet. There is only one such choice.
The measure is about 36 feet.
__
If you like, you can find a more exact value using the Pythagorean theorem. The distance d of interest is ...
d^2 = 20^2 +30^2 = 1300
d = √1300 = 10√13 ≈ 36.0555 ≈ 36 . . . feet
_____
* The longest hypotenuse will be √2 ≈ 1.4142 times the longest right triangle leg when the two legs are equal length.
