Find to LCM of 8 and 18 to compare times
Mary: 4*9laps/8*9min
36 laps/ 72 mins
Nicole: 12*4laps/18*4 mins
48 laps/ 72 mins
Nicole runs more laps in the same amount of time as Mary
Therefore, Nicole runs faster
To be able to compare two fraction we have to make common denominator. Then we can compare fractions.

Now we can compare

Answer:
16.92
Step-by-step explanation:
94*.18=16.92
Answer:
25 years
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the mean you need to find the sum of all numbers and divide by the number of terms there are.
In this case you would need to multiply the mean ages by the number of people used to find the mean:
35 * 3 = 105
23 * 12 = 276
Then add the total ages together:
105 + 276 = 381
Then divide by the number of total people in the office:
12 + 3 = 15
381/15 = 25.4
rounded to 25
