Step-by-step explanation:
To find the median, you need to arrange the numbers in ascending order. Than pick the middle number. If there are two middle numbers then you add them together and then divide by 2.
Answer:
2:53
Step-by-step explanation:
I believe that you are subtracting times here, so have in mind that if the first number indicates hours, and the second number minutes, and you are asked to subtract more of one quantity (minutes for example) than what you have, you will need to convert some of the hours into minutes.
Recall that 1 hour equals 60 minutes.
in the difference 4:08 minus 1:15, you sre expected to subtract minutes from minutes and hours from hours. Now the number of minutes you need to subtract from 08 is 15 (larger than 08) so we need to convert 1 hour into minutes in the first expression, and then (with enough minutes to deal with), we can subtract:
4:08 is the same as 3:68 where we converted 1 hour to 60 minutes and added those 60 minutes to the existing 8 .
Now the difference can be performed:
3:68 - 1:15 = (3-1):(68-15) = 2:53
It is a ratio problem...
2 dogs need 144 feet = 2 : 144
Simplify the ratio = 1 : 72
Multiply both sides by 8 (8 dogs) = 1*8 :144*8
Simplify the ratio = 8 : 1152
8 dogs need 1152 feet of fencing
Hope this helps!
1/2 of 2 means you're taking a half of 2. Which 1.
