In my opinion i think you are right but i’m not sure but it could be one of those
Answer:
1_11/20 pounds, or 1.55 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since at the beginning, he had 5 1/4 pounds and used 3/5, we subtract the amount of pounds. We are then left with 93/20 pounds, which he then splits among 3 containers. Dividing by three, we then get 31/20 pounds in one aquarium, or 1 11/20 pounds in each aquarium or 1.55 pounds.
Here's one way:
A=WxL
So in this case, it's 2x5
You would draw the rectangle, label one side 2 in. and the other 5 in. Draw an arrow from each no./side and put x underneath the line so that its 2 —x— 5 (2, line, x, line, 5. With x under line)
First find the mean (sum divided by number of values)
4+5+8+10+15=42
42/5=8.4
Then find the difference between each of the numbers and the mean.
4.4, 3.4, 0.4, 1.6, 6.6
Then find the mean of those values.
4.4+3.4+0.4+1.6+6.6=16.4
16.4/5=3.28
Final answer: 3.28
