Set up two equations:
1st: P (for Price family) + J (for Jenkins family) = 45 hours
2nd: 20P + 35J = 1200 liters
Rewrite the first equation as P = 45 – J
Replace P in the second equation:
20(45-J) + 35J = 1200
Simplify:
900 -20J + 35J = 1200
900 +15J = 1200
Subtract 900 from both sides:
15J = 300
Divide both sides by 15:
J = 300/15
J = 20
Jenkins used theirs for 20 hours
Price used theirs for 45-20 = 25 hours.
To find the Median, place the numbers you are given in value order and find the middle number. <span>If there are two middle numbers, you average them.
</span><span>18, 21, 21, 24, 26, 35, 39, 48
The two middle number are 24 and 26
Average 24 + 26/2 = 25
The median is 25

Answer:
A. 6 m by 6 m
Step-by-step explanation:
You can try the different choices to see which has the largest area. Of course, the area is the product of the dimensions:
6 m × 6 m = 36 m² . . . . largest area
10 m × 2 m = 20 m²
8 m × 4 m = 32 m²
__
The largest area is that of a square, 6 m by 6 m. (choice A)
