Answer:

The hiking club's member count increased by 48%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two data values: 25 members and 37 members. We need to determine how many members the club gained first. We can set up an equation where we solve for an unknown, or<em> x</em>, in this case.

$25 + x = 37\\\\x = 12$

The club increased by 12 members, so now we can divide this value by the initial amount of members and multiply the decimal we receive by 100 to express it in percentage form.

$\frac{12}{25} =0.48\\\\0.48 \times 100 = 48\%$

Therefore, the club's member count increased by 48%.

The Schuller family has five members. Dad is 6ft 2in tall. Mom is 3 inches shorter than Dad, but 2 inches taller than Ivan. Marc

Answer:

Mean = 5 feet 2 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 feet = 12 inches

Height of Dad = 6 feet 2 inches = {(6 × 12)+2} = 74 inches

Mom is 3 inches shorter than dad = 74 - 3 = 71 inches (5 ft 11 in)

Since mom is 2 inches taller than Ivan,

Height of Ivan = 71 - 2 = 69 inches (5 ft 9 in)

Marica is 5 inches shorter than Ivan,

Height of Marica = 69 - 5 = 64 inches (5 ft 4 in)

Marica is twice as tall as Sally-Jo.

Height of Sally-Jo = 64 ÷ 2 = 32 inches (2 ft 8 in)

Hence the mean height of the Schuller family

= $\frac{74+71+69+64+32}{5}$

= 62 inches

converting 62 inches to feet = $\frac{62}{12}$ = 5 feet 2 inches

Mean height of the Schuller family is 5 feet 2 inches.

Jenna just opened a checking account at the bank. Within the first month, she deposited three checks for $34.98, $51.02, and $51

algol [13]

-7.89, -5.23, -5.22, 34.98, 51.02, 51.22

Lets break it down:
(Rational numbers consist of whole, numbers, integers, and fractions)
Negatives come after 0, so the greater the number gets, the less value it has, opposite of positive numbers.
So since -7.89 is the greatest negative number, it will have the least value.

Hope this helps!

The grocery store where Ms. Maple works pays her $6.50 per hour. Any time she works more than 40 hours per week, she is paid tim

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

$289.25

Step-by-step explanation:

First we should find out how much Ms. Maple would make in a week without overtime.

6.5 x 40 = 260

Now, let's figure out how much she makes per hour in overtime.

6.5 x 1.5 = 9.75

Now add up the hours of overtime.

9.75 x 3 = 29.25

Now we add the weekly wage to the overtime

260 + 29.25 = 289.25

For 40 hours of regular time at $6.50/hr and 3 hours of overtime at $9.75/hr, Ms. Maple will make $289.25 for the week.

1. area of a pentagon when 1 side is x is $\frac{x^2}{4}\sqrt{5(5+2\sqrt{5})}$
so if perimiter is 100 then one side is 100/5 or 20
area will be $\frac{20^2}{4}\sqrt{5(5+2\sqrt{5})}$ ≈<span>688.2 square yards

2. area of a hexagon when 1 side is length x is $\frac{3x^2\sqrt{3}}{2}$
so if permiter is 100 then length of one side is 100/6 or about 16.666666666666
the area will be $\frac{3(16.6666666)^2\sqrt{3}}{2}$ ≈721.7 square yards

3. area of a regular octagon with side lenghts x is $2(1+\sqrt{2})x^2$
so if 8 sides then side length of each is 100/8 or 12.5
area will be $2(1+\sqrt{2})12.5^2$ ≈754.4 square yards

octagon wil have most space
you can tell because the more sides it has, the more it gets to a circle and the more area it encloses with a given perimiter
