Answer:

15 marks

Step-by-step explanation:

If the average mark obtained by 3 students is 15, then the total marks are

⇒ 3 x 15 = 45

Let x be the marks obtained by the third student.

If two students obtained 12 and 18 marks, then

⇒ 12 + 18 + x = 45

⇒ 30 + x = 45

⇒ x = 45 - 30

⇒ x = 15

Solution:

<u>We can clearly say that "mean" has been used.</u>

  • Mean is the average of a group of numbers.

In this case, we are given three numbers, <u>12, x, and 18.</u>

  • => 12 + 18 + x/3 = 15
  • => 30 + x = 3 x 15
  • => 30 + x = 45
  • => x = 45 - 30
  • => x = 15

The marks obtained by the third student is <u>15 marks.</u>

Kyle notices that the number of likes he receives each day on his social media page is a function. He decides to create a graph
12345 [234]

Answer:

B) y=12x

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given with the coordinates (0,0) , (1,12) \ and \ (2,24)

Where x represents the number of days.

y represents the number of likes she got.

To model the equation using Kyle's data we find the slope using the given coordinate.

Let us say (0,0) \ as \ (x1 , y1) and (1,12) \ as \ (x2,y2)

Slope (m) formula ,  m=\frac{(y2-y1)}{(x2-x1)}

Plug in the above points now, we get

m=\frac{(12-0)}{(1-0)} =\frac{12}{1} =12

Now we use the point-slope formula, (y-1)= m(x-x1)

Plugging the corresponding values.

     (y-0)= 12(x-0)\\y=12x

Thus option is B is the correct answer.

Raj weighs a book and rounds the weights to the nearest tenth. Does this weight round to 1.5 pounds?
mel-nik [20]

Step 1: Locate and underline the tenth place (4) and look to the right (8)

1.48

Step 2: In this case, the digit to the right 8 is 5 or above. So, we add 1 to the tenth place 4. The digit at the right 8 becomes 0, thus we get 1.5 as the answer.

In short: 1.48 rounded to the nearest tenth is 1.5.

Hope that helped
