It would be mean. The mean is the average that is you are looking for, since she wants a summerization of all the values in the data set. To find the mean (average) add all the numbers and then divide by the amount of numbers.
This is the concept of algebra, to calculate the proportion of wool in each item we proceed as follows;
Let the amount of wool used for hat be x
amount of wool in sweater will be 5x
the amount of wool used in scarf will be x-5
therefore the total amount of wool will be:
x+5x+(x-5)=550
x+5x+x-5=550
7x-5=550
7x=550+5
7x=555
hence;
x=555/7
x=79
the amount used in hat x=79g
amount used in sweater 5x=395g
amount used in scarf=79-5=74g
Answer:
y=-9/2x-10
Step-by-step explanation:
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(-1-8)/(-2-(-4))
m=-9/(-2+4)
m=-9/2
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-8=-9/2(x-(-4))
y-8=-9/2(x+4)
y=-9/2x-36/2+8
y=-9/2x-18+8
y=-9/2x-10
It would be better to buy 12 bars for 10 dollars and the rate would be $1.2. The rate for 5 bars would be $1.25.
