Let M = marker cost
Let P = pencil cost

3 markers and 2 pencils cost 1.80 ==> 3M + 2P = 1.80

4 markers and 6 pencils cost 2.90 ==> 4M + 6P = 2.90

Multiply the first equation by (-3) and add it to the second equation

-9M - 6P = -5.40
4M + 6P = 2.90

-5M = -2.50
M = 0.50

Plug this value for M into the 1st equation and solve for P

3*(0.50) + 2P = 1.80
1.50 + 2P = 1.80
2P = 0.30
P = 0.15

So a marker costs 50 cents and a pencil costs 15 cents

Please help:)<br><br> what is the mean height when looking at a histogram? <br> how do i find it?
kari74 [83]

Answer:

For each histogram bar, we start by multiplying the central x-value to the corresponding bar height. Each of these products corresponds to the sum of all values falling within each bar. Summing all products gives us the total sum of all values, and dividing it by the number of observations yields the mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope this helps! :)

75 miles to 225 miles as a fraction in simplest form
Pie

Answer:

\frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

When reducing a number to its lowest term you use the GCF of the denominator and numerator then divide using this number. :

\frac{75}{225} ÷\frac{75}{75} = \frac{1}{3}

The gcf of 75 and 225 is 75 so we divide both the numerator and denominator by 75.
