Answer:

the number of child plates and adults plates were served is 125 and 155 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the child plate be x

And, the adult plates be y

Now according to the question

x + y = 280 .................(1)

2.60x + 9.50y = 1797.50 .............(2)

Now multiply by 2.60x in equation (1)

2.60x + 2.60y = 728

2.60x + 9.50y = 1797.50

-6.90y = -1069.50

y = 155

So, x = 280 - 155

= 125

hence, the number of child plates and adults plates were served is 125 and 155 respectively

The histogram is especially useful in comparing mean and median values of a variable. We have that 5.5+6+7+10+7.5+8+9.5+9+8.5+8+7+7.5+6+6.5+5.5=111.5 Since there are 15 values, their mean is 111.5/15=7.43 which is very close to the mean. We also have that 7 onservations are lower than 7.4 while 8 are bigger than 7.4; hence, the diagram is rather balanced and not left-skewed. We cannot tell immediately which one is larger since the values are too close. Any such random process can usually be approximated to a greater or smaller degree by a normal curve; the more points, the better. The histogram shows this (it is kind of a discrete normal curve); all points except 4 will be in this interval of bars.

There are 4 roads leading from Bluffton to​ Hardeeville, 6 roads leading from Hardeeville to​ Savannah, and 5 roads leading from
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

120 ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Total number of roads leading from Bluffton to​ Hardeeville = 4

Total number of roads leading from Hardeeville to​ Savannah = 6

Total number of roads leading from Savannah to Macon = 5

We need to find the total number of ways to get from Bluffton to​ Macon.

Total number of ways to get from Bluffton to​ Macon = 4\times 6\times 5= 120

Therefore, there are 120 required number of ways to get from Bluffton to​ Macon.

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Teacher is 27 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

(1/2)(t - 3) = (1/3)(t + 9)

multiply by 6 to clear the fraction

3(t - 3) = 2(t + 9)

Distribute

3t - 9 = 2t + 18

Subtract 2t from both sides

t - 9 = 18

Add 9 to both sides

t = 27

Teacher is 27 years old
