Rational because the answer was simplified already as 12÷4=3
Average = mean = sum of the values / number of data
Values = h, j, and k
Number of data = 3
Sum of the values = h + j + k
Mean = [h + j + k] / 3
=> Answer: option c. [h+j+k] over 3
If all the cheese slices have same mass, say m grams
and mass of 3 cheese slices is 27
so,
m+m+m=27
3m=27
or m=27/3
m=9
thus
mass of one cheese slice is 9 grams
The answer is C because y=-3/4 which is a negative.
Answer:
To do this, you need to multiply out the expressions. This is a bit tedious, but remember like FOIL for binomials, for these trinomials you must multiply each term. If you need a step-by-step, I'd be happy to provide it. Let me know.
Once you have simplified the expression, you get
-x-9/2x-4
But, the problem stipulates that a must equal 1. We can equivalently factor out the negative sign and put it on the denominator with no change to write
x+9/-(2x-4) = x+9/-2x+4
So, seeing where each coefficient corresponds between the two expressions, you get a = 1, b = 9, c = –2, and d = 4.
