The mean is the average number meaning that it is all the numbers in a set added together and divided by how many number are in the set. In this case there are 4 numbers (16, 3, whatever number x is, and 5). So, to find out what x is, first you multiple 4 by the known mean which is 9.
4 x 9 = 36
Then you simply subtract 36 from all the known numbers to find x.
36 - 16 - 5 - 3 = 12
So x = 12
To add fractions, first convert them to have equal denominators.
3/4= 9/12 (multiply both sides by 3)
2/3= 8/12 (multiply both sides by 4)
From here, add the numerators while keeping the denominator.
9/12+ 8/12= 17/12
Final answer: 17/12 or 1 5/12
Answer:
The blue portion of the flag is actually 2/6 or 1/3 of the flag
Step-by-step explanation:
If you look at the size of the blue portion of the line it takes up twice the space as the white part. Imagine a small line drawn through the middle of the blue rectangle, now you can see that the flag is split up into 6 parts, rather then 5! Since we now have 2/6 of the flag being taken up by blue, that can be reduced down to 1/3 of the flag covered in blue.
Ok so all you do is add 150+70+15+1000. That equals to $1235
