1.75, 2.75, 4
hope this helps!
Answer:
d for the first question
Step-by-step explanation:
When it says 7 more than a number equals 21, the "more than" is addition, a number is x (because it's the unknown number). So this one is x+7=21.
When it says 39 less than a number is 21. "Less than" means to subtract. The 39 is less than x, so it's x-39=21.
8 times a certain number increased by 1 is 65. Break it down, first 8 times a number, so it's 8*x or 8x. Then we add 1 to that, so it's 8x+1=65.
5 times some number decreased by 2 times the number is 42. Decreased by is subtraction. So it's 5x-2x=42.
When you look for the key words increased by (add), more than (add), multiplied by, times, less than (subtract), decreased by (subtract), is (equal sign), they will help determine what you need to do.
I hope this gives you a little more understanding. Good luck with it! :)
The answer is given by the
second choice: letter B. 14.75 is the answer because to get the mean, you
should add all the numbers and then divide it by how many numbers there are.
For example, in this case, you add 12, 17, 16, 10, 20, 13, 14, 14, 12, 12, 19,
18 to each other. You will get the answer 172. After that, you should
divide 172 by 12 because there are 12 numbers in the data set.
