Answer:
5 and 2/5 liters or 5.4 liters
Step-by-step explanation:
9/10 times 6
9 times 6 is 54. 54 divided by 10 is 5.4 which is the same as 5 and 2/5
9.4/10 is the simplest form
Answer:
paper clips = $1.85
index cards = $3.95
Step-by-step explanation:
Mark
12 paper clips = x
10 index cards = y
$61.70 total
Janice
15 paper clips = x
7 index cards = y
$55.40 total
12x + 10y = 61.70
15x + 7y = 55.40
*** you want to cancel out one of the letters
(12x + 10y = 61.70) * -7
(15x + 7y = 55.40) * 10
-84x -70y = -431.9
150x + 70y = 554.0
150x + 70y = 554.0
-84x -70y = -431.9
66x + 0 = 122.1
66x = 122.1
x = 122.1 ÷ 66
x = 1.85
plug it back in
15(1.85) + 7y = 55.40
27.75 + 7y = 55.40
7y = 55.40 - 27.75
7y = 27.65
y = 27.65 ÷ 7
y = 3.95
Let a,b,c,d and e are five numbers
mean = (a +b+ c+ d+e)/5 = 30
⇒ (a +b+ c+ d+e) = 150_______(1)
now, Let the number excluded be a
then, new mean = (b+ c+ d+e)/4 = 28
⇒ (b+ c+ d+e)= 112
putting this value in (1),
⇒a + 112 = 150
⇒a = 150 -112 = 38
excluded number = 38
