Been a bit since i’ve done this kind of problem.
X+4=20
X is the number of hours needed to work, while 4 is the hours already there.
You need to make both numbers the same denominator (bottom number). Do this by multiplying. So for the first question you need 15 as the denominator. 3x3=9 5x3=15 first one is 9/15. Then its 1x5=5 and 3x5=15. Then you add 9+5 to get 14. The denominator stays the same. 14/15. This cannot be reduced. If reduced, you would be able to divide both numbers by the same number.
1. 14/15
2. 5/6
3. 1/2
4. 13/24
5. 13/24
6. 9/10
7. 5/9
8. 11/35
9. 5/8
10. 1/2
What is the median of the data set? <br>
{10, 15, 14, 14, 10, 10, 8, 18, 11, 12, 17, 16}

The median of a data set is the 'middle number'. You can find the median by listing the given numbers from least to greatest (left to right) and finding the middle number.
8, 10, 10, 10, 11, 12, 14, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18
Cross one out on each side before getting to your last number that should be in the middle.
The middle numbers are: 12 and 14. If it was only one number, we could already have the answer, but since it is two numbers in the middle, we need to add them up and divide by 2.
12 + 14 = 26
26 ÷ 2 = 13
So, the median of the data set is: 13.
The answer to this would be −0.333
