Abdullah and Kanna are working on the same problem.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Leona [35]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Abdullah is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bottle contained originally 12 fl oz, so 12 fl oz is 100%.

The box now contains 20% more, so now it contains 120% of 12 fl oz.

120% * 12 fl oz = 1.2 * 12 fl oz = 14.4 fl oz

Also, 20% is 1/5. Abdullah divided 12 oz into 5 equal parts, and then he added one more 1/5. He interpreted the problem correctly. The amount in the new bottle is the amount of the old bottle plus 20% of that old amount.

Kanna considers the original amount to be 80%. When he adds another 20%, he is adding 1/4 of 12 which is too much. That is why he gets an incorrect answer that is to high. He interpreted the problem incorrectly. For him, the old bottle has 20% less than the new bottle. That is incorrect.

Abdullah is correct.

Find the mean, median, and mode of the data set. Round to the nearest tenth. 15, 13, 9, 9, 7, 1, 11, 10, 13, 1, 13 mean = 8.5, m
jasenka [17]

Answer:

Mean = 9.3

Median = 10

Mode = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the mean, you would have to add up all of the numbers (102), then divide how many numbers you have with the numbers added up (9.3). To get the median, you would have to put all of the numbers that you have, in order, from least to greatest and cross off each number, one from each side before getting to the number in the middle (unless if you have an even number; works better with odd numbers, which is easier). To get the mode, you would need to find out which number appears the most, and, if there is more than one, you can put the numbers down. Hope this helps.
