Tammy conducted a survey to find the favorite subject of the students at her school. She asked 25 students from her math class w

almond37 [142]

Tammy's sample may not be considered valid because, on the first hand, it is said that she only asked students from her " Math Class".
If she wants to have a survey to find out the favorite subject of the students at her school, she must conduct a survey involving all the students in her school, not just in her class. What she did is just subjective. She should use a tally listing the different subjects and compare the number of students per subject. This way, she can have an objective representation of the least liked subjects and the most liked subjects of the students on her school.
Illustrating her survey through statistics may be more reliable and valid because it shows frequencies in which she can calculate easily and accurately the percentage of the number of students per subject, in a more objective manner.

Use fraction models to solve two and four sevenths plus three and two fourths equals blank

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

$6 \frac{1}{14}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Write down the problem;

$2 \frac{4}{7} + 3 \frac{2}{4}$

Simplify

$2 \frac{4}{7} + 3 \frac{1}{2}$

Convert so that the fractions have a common denominator; multiply the numerator and denominator of both fractions such that the denominators are equal;

$2 \frac{8}{14} + 3 \frac{7}{14}$

Add the fractions;

$5 \frac{15}{14}$

Convert to mixed number;

$6 \frac{1}{14}$

Ann increased the quantities of all the ingredients in a recipe by 60\%60%60, percent. She used 808080 grams (\text{g})(g)left p

kari74 [83]

Answer:

50 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of cheese required by the recipe be "x"

Ann increased 60% from original amount and then used up 80 grams. Thus:

<em>Original, increased by 60%, became 80</em>

<em />

This translated to algebraic equation would be:

x + 0.6x = 80

<u>Note:</u> 60% = 60/100 = 0.6

So we can solve the above equation for "x" and get our answer. Shown below:

$x + 0.6x = 80\\1.6x=80\\x=\frac{80}{1.6}\\x=50$

Hence,

the recipe required 50 grams of cheese
