Well 5=5
and 37/40
hmm, try to get that 40 into an nice number that is multiplule of 10
if we divide top and bottom by 4 that would work

9.25/10=92.5=100=925/1000=925 thousandths=0.925
so the decimal would be 5.925
Complete question :
Mr. Nelson lost one of his students' test papers. He knows that the other 4 students scored as follows: 60, 62, 56, 57. He also knows that the average score is 59.2. What is the score on the missing paper?
Answer:
61
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Total number of students = 4 + 1 missing = 5
Score on the four avaliable papers = 60, 62, 56, 57
Average score of the 5 papers = 59.2
Score on missing paper :
Sum of each score / number of papers
Sum of each score = sum of available scores + missing score
Let missing score = m
(60 + 62 + 56 + 57 + m) = 235 + m
Recall:
Average = total sum / number of observations
Hence,
59.2 = (235 + m) / 5
59.2 × 5 = 235 + m
296 = 235 + m
m = 296 - 235
m = 61
Missing score = 61
To get this answer you would have to have a pace calculator!
In order to know the answer, you would have to set up a system of equations:
Given that type A coffee costs $4.15 per pound
(4.15x)
Given that type B coffee costs $5.25 per pound
(5.25y)
And that the total cost of it all was $642.60

Also, the amount of pounds, represented by x and y add up to 150 pounds total:
