Answer:

9/20

Step-by-step explanation:

so since trentons pet eats 4/5 of the food each day and marias eats 1.25 each day so we cant put 4/5 and 1.25 to see wat the awnser is so we make 1.25 a fraction 1 1/4 but the demoninators arent the same so what we do is make them the same so i multiply 4x5 and get 20 that is out new denominator and 4x4 is 16 so the 4/5 is now 16/20 and the 1 1/4 is 1 5/20 then subtract but since we have a whole number we subtract that first but they dont go together but we do it anyway and get 4 left over we put the 4 into the 5/20 and get 9/20 and thers ur awnser

a number multiplied by a fraction is not always smaller than the original number explain this and give at least two examples to
MariettaO [177]
Sometimes, fractions can be written in 'improper' form, meaning that the top number (numerator) is bigger than the bottom number (denominator). So anything multiplied by a fraction like this will give a bigger number.

For example:
5 × 2/1 = 10
10 x 10/1 = 100

Jane evaluates x squared minus 3 x + 5 for x = negative 2 below. Step 1: (negative 2) squared minus 3 (negative 2) + 5 Step 2: E
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the question :

Jane evaluates x squared minus 3 x + 5 for x = negative 2 below. Step 1: (negative 2) squared minus 3 (negative 2) + 5 Step 2: Equals negative 4 + 6 + 5 Step 3: Equals 7 What, if any, was Jane's mistake?

Jane's evaluation :

x² - 3x + 5 for x = - 2

Step 1:

(-2)² - 3(-2) + 5

Step 2:

-4 + 6 + 5

Step 3 :

= 7

Jane's mistake was in STEP2,

evaluating (-2)² = 4 and not - 4

Hence, (-2)² - 3(-2) + 5

= 4 + 6 + 5

= 15

Identify the outliers of the data set. Then determine if the outlier increases or decreases the value of the mean.
Juli2301 [7.4K]
<h3>Answer:  D) 76; increases</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

The main group or cluster of values spans from 32 to 42 (inclusive).

Then off on its own is the value 76, which we consider an outlier. This value is fairly far from the group. As a rule, large outliers pull on the arithmetic mean to make it larger than it should be. Think of it like the outlier pulling on the mean as if it was done through a magnet or gravitational pull.

Similarly, small outliers pull the mean to the left to make it smaller than it should be. We don't have any small outliers in this case.

--------------

Let's consider the set

A = {32, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 38, 41, 42, 42, 46}

where I've sorted the values and I replaced 76 with 46.

Computing the mean of set A gets us

(32+34+35+36+37+38+38+41+42+42+46)/11 = 38.27 approximately

--------------

Now let's form this set

B = {32, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 38, 41, 42, 42, 76}

which is the original set your teacher gave you. It's nearly identical to set A, except that the 46 is now 76 again.

Compute the mean of set B

(32+34+35+36+37+38+38+41+42+42+76)/11 = 41

---------------

Set A has a mean of roughly 38.72 and set B has a mean of 41. We see that the mean has increased.
