The mean of 17,x,10,17,51 is 21 find x

Answers

Answer:

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

(17+x+10+51+17)/5=21

95+x=105

x=10

The required value of x for the given mean of the data is x = 10.

How to find the mean of the given sample of data?

In order to find the mean for a sample, first count the number of data in a sample, say n. Then, do the summation of all the values in that sample and divide it by the number of data obtained earlier.

Mathematically, it can be written for n number of data x₁, x₂, x₃, ..... as,

Mean = ( x₁ + x₂ + x₃ + .....)/n.

Given that,

The mean of  17, x, 10, 17 and 51 is 21.

It can be written in mathematical form as,

(17+ x + 10 + 17 + 51 )/5 = 21

=> 17+ x + 10 + 17 + 51 = 21 × 5

=> x = 105 - 95

=> x = 10

Hence, for the given data the value of x is 10.

Devon's father is installing new wood flooring. He bought boards that are 10 ft long, 3/4 in. thick, and 11/24 in. wide. Determine the number of boards Devon's father will need for a 10 ft by 16 1/2 ft room. Plz plz help and the way to solve it plz!!!

Answers

Answer:

36 boards

Step-by-step explanation:

The boards are as long as the room, so I only had to worry about the width. If the boards were 1/2 ft wide, I would need 2 boards for every foot of width. For 16 ft, I would need 32 boards.

Instead of dividing, I wrote the equivalent multiplication by multiplying by the reciprocal of 11/24 (the reciprocal of 11/24 is 24/11)

I simplified by dividing both 2 and 24 by 2, and both 11 and 33 by 11.

Therefore he needs 36 boards

Answer:

a=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the proportion [tex]\frac{1}{a+3} =\frac{4}{16}[/tex], and we want to solve it for the variable, a

Before we start, we can simplify 4/16 to 1/4, since 4 is the GCF of the numerator and denominator of that fraction. Simplifying the fraction will make the computation easier, as the numbers are smaller.

Therefore, the proportion will now be:

[tex]\frac{1}{a+3} =\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Because this is a proportion, we can cross multiply in order to solve for a; to do that, multiply a+3 by the expression that is on the top right (in this case, 1). Also multiply 4 by the expression that is on the top left (in this case, 1). Then, set them equal to each other, since it is still an equation :)

1(a+3)=4(1)

Multiply

a+3=4

Subtract 3 from both sides

a=1

What is the slope intercept equation from the graph?


Please help thank u

Answers

Answer:

the desired equation is y = (-3/2)x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Two points through which the graph passes are (0, 3) and (2, 0).  (0, 3) is the y-intercept.  Thus, the slope-intercept equation y = mx + b becomes

y=mx + 3.  Borrowing the coordinates of (2, 0) and substituting them into this last result, we get

0 = m(2) + 3,

which, after having been solved for m, gives us m = -3/2

and so the desired equation is y = (-3/2)x + 3.

The percentage of a given quantity shows the fraction of the quantity required but expressed in percent. The answer to the question is 8, and Maxine's statement is true.

The percentage of a given number is the fraction of that number required for consideration.

To determine the required fraction of the given number in the question, express the given statement in mathematical terms.

So that:

16% of 50 = [tex]\frac{16}{100}[/tex] x 50

                 = 0.16 * 50

                 = 8

Thus 16% of 50 is 8.

Considering the steps required to solve the question and each statement of students, then Maxine is correct.

Answer:

The domain is x = all real numbers and the range is y >= 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain represents all possible values that x can be for a given equation or graph. Since this is a parabola, it will keep expanding upwards and outwards infinitely, so it will eventually reach every x value on both the positive and negative axis, therefore x is all real numbers (also written as (-INF, INF) in another notation).

The range is similiar to the domain, but it represents all possible y values. The parabola, as I mentioned before, will expand upwards infinitely, so all y values greater than the vertex will be reached. The vertex for this graph is the lowest point of the parabola, so y will have to be greater or equal to it. For this equation, the vertex is (0,0) so y has to be greater than or equal to 0.

Raina's penny bank is  1/4  full. After she adds  360  pennies, it is  5/8  full. How many pennies can Raina's bank hold? ​

Answers

Answer:

960

Step-by-step explanation:

We start with the variable "x". Let's call "x" Raina's penny bank.

After adding 360 pennies, at the end, she has 5/8x, or 5/8.

So we start with

(1/4)x + 360 = 5/8x

Let's subtract 1/4x from both sides

360 = 5/8x - 1/4x

Remember, we need to use common denominators to subtract, so 1/4 becomes 2/8

360 = 5/8x - 2/8x

Now we simplify to get

360=3/8x

Multiply the reciprocal of 3/8 to both sides which is 8/3

360 * 8/3 = x

Answer is 960 pennies.

Therefore Raina's bank hold 960 pennies.

Answer:

we need to get the same number below to make it easier. so 1/4 will be equal to 2/8.

then she adds 360 pennies so it's 5/8 full.

therefore, the 360 pennies = 3/8 full

because 5/8 - 2/8 = 3/8.

now, we need to divide 360/3 so we can get how much pennies when it's 1/8 full.

360 pennies/3 = 120 pennies = 1/8 full.

now to get a full bank we just need to multiply 120 x 8 because 1/8 x 8 = 1 which means a full fraction.

120 pennies x 8 = 960 pennies.

Raina's bank can hold up to 960 pennies.
