Sue played four games of golf.

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Sue's scores for the four games in ascending order are: 97, 98, 98, 107

Step-by-step explanation:

Her modal score was 98. The mode is found by using the number that appears most often. This means that 98 has to appear at least two times out of the four scores.

Her range was 10. The range is found by taking the highest score and subtracting it from the lowest score. The highest score had to be greater than 98 and the lowest score had to be less than 98 since we know the mode was 98.

Her mean score was 100. This mean is found by adding all the numbers together and then dividing by the total numbers listed. Adding the four scores together and dividing by 4 will equal 100.

Used guess and test:

Highest Number, 98, 98, Lowest Number

107 - 97 = 10 (meets range requirement)

97 + 98 + 98 + 107 = 400

400/4 = 100 (meets the mean requirement)

A rectangle has a length of 34 inches less than 5 times it’s width. If the area of the rectangle is 867 square inches, find the

pshichka [43]

Length of the rectangle is 51 inches

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that

Length of the rectangle in 34 miles less than 5 times its width

Area of rectangle = 867 square inches

Need to determine length of the rectangle.

Let assume width of the rectangle be represented by variable x.

So 5 times width of the rectangle =5x

34 inches less than 5 times width of the rectangle = 5x – 34

As Length of the rectangle in 34 miles less than 5 times its width

=> Length of the rectangle = 5x – 34

<em><u>The formula for rectangle is given as:</u></em>

$\text { area of rectangle }=length \times width$

As given that Area of rectangle = 867 square inches

$\begin{array}{l}{=>867=(5 x-34) \times(x)} \\\\ {=>5 x^{2}-34 x-867=0}\end{array}$

On solving quadratic equation by using quadratic formula

$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

In our case a = 5, b = -34 and c = -867

On substituting value of a, b and c in quadratic formula we get

$\begin{array}{l}{x=\frac{-(-34) \pm \sqrt{(-34)^{2}-4 \times 5 \times(-867)}}{2 \times 5}} \\\\ {=>x=\frac{34 \pm \sqrt{18496}}{10}=\frac{34+136}{10}} \\\\ {=>x=\frac{34+136}{10}=17 \text { or } x=\frac{34-136}{10}=-10.2}\end{array}$

Since x represents width, it cannot be negative, so x = 17

Length of the rectangle = 5x – 34 = 5(17) – 34 = 51

Hence length of the rectangle is 51 inches

If 26.97 ÷ 6.3 is written in long division form as so that the divisor is written as a whole number, where should the decimal po

Soloha48 [4]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The decimal point should be placed between digits 9 and 7 in the dividend. i.e the dividend becomes 269.7

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Dividend = 26.97 [numerator]

Divisor = 6.3 [denominator]

If 26.97 ÷ 6.3 is written in long division form so that the divisor is written as a whole number, we have the following;

(i)First convert the divisor to a whole number by multiplying by 10 i.e

6.3 x 10 = 63

(ii) Since the divisor (denominator) has been multiplied by 10, to make sure the division expression stays the same, we need to multiply the dividend(numerator) too by 10. i.e

26.97 x 10 = 269.7

(iii) The division expression then becomes;

269.7 ÷ 63

Therefore, the decimal point should be placed between digits 9 and 7 in the dividend.
