- 2 3/5 - 1 2/3
= -2 9/15 - 1 10/15
= (-2 9/15) + (- 1 10/15)
= -3 19/15
= -4 4/15
Answer is B
-4 4/15
This question is easier than it seems. If there are 9 consecutive integers with the mean being 16, then 16 must be the median. So just add four on top and four below 16 to give you your range of 9 values, 12-20. 12+13+14+15+16+17+18+19+20=144, 144/9=16. So the mean of the first four numbers is (12+13+14+15)/4= 13.5. If you check, 13.5 is also the median of these four numbers.
Answer:
60
Step-by-step explanation:
48 multiplied by 25% = 48 multiplied by 0.25 = 12
48 plus the increase = 60
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
Compatible numbers are defined as the numbers which are very close to the numbers that they are replacing that divides evenly into each other.
In the context, we have to estimate the quotient using the compatible numbers in order to estimate 245 divided by 3.
So, estimating 245 as 240 and 3 as 30.
Here, 240 is very close to 245 and 30 is close to 3. So the quotient is the result when we divide 240 by 30 and it divides evenly into 240.
We first divide the non zero parts of each number i.e. 24 by 3 to get the first part of the estimate.
Then we add on the zero if there were left in the problem to get your estimate.
Therefore,
240 / 30 = 8
So here, the quotient is estimated as 8.
