The ratio of dogs to cats
7 to 2
Let’s look at the answers and cross out some of them

A seems valid, 7/2= 3.5

So B is wrong because 7 is the number of dogs not the number of total animals.

C is wrong because this is a ratio, and if the ratio is 7:2 then there could be 14:4 dogs and cats. 14 — 4 isn’t 5. We are not certain there are exactly this much dogs and this much cats.

D) For every 7 dogs there are 2 cats. 7/2 is dogs divided by cats, while 2/7 is cats divided by dogs

So the correct answer is A

A shop has one-pound bags of peanuts for $2 and three-pound bags of peanuts for $5.50. If you buy 8 bags and spend $37, how many
Andrew [12]

Answer:

  • 6 3-lb bags
  • 2 1-lb bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of 3-lb bags purchased. Then the total purchase was ...

  $2(8 -x) +$5.50(x) = $37

  16 +3.50x = 37 . . . . . . . . . divide by $, collect terms

  3.50x = 21 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 16

  21/3.50 = x = 6 . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

You bought 6 3-lb bags of peanuts and 2 1-lb bags.

Answer:

a. Genre with highest mean is drama. Mean is 72.10

B. 10.46 is difference between means of comedy and horror

C. Horror has the lowest minimum value at 25.00

Action and comedy both have the highest maximum value at 93.00

Step-by-step explanation:

First create a table with the data provided like I did in the attachment. It would give a clearer picture of what your answers should be.

1. Which genre has the highest mean score?

From the table, we have the means as:

Action = 58.63

Comedy = 59.11

Drama = 72.10

Horror = 48.65

The genre with the highest score is drama at 72.10

2. Difference in mean score between comedy and horror

Mean of comedy = lc = 59.11

Mean of horror = ly = 48.65

Difference = lc-ly

= 59.11 - 48.65

= 10.46

3. The genre with lowest score is the genre with the lowest minimum value. This genre is horror and the lowest minimum is 25.00

The genre with highest minimum value is that whose maximum value is the highest out of all the genres. Both action and comedy have the highest maximum value at 93.00
