Answer:

y= - 1/2 (negative half) =  -0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

−6y+3(12y)=20(y−1)+15

Multiply 3 and 12 to get 36.

−6y+36y=20(y−1)+15

Combine −6y and 36y to get 30y.

30y=20(y−1)+15

Use the distributive property to multiply 20 by y−1.

30y=20y−20+15

Add −20 and 15 to get −5.

30y=20y−5

Subtract 20y from both sides.

30y−20y=−5

Combine 30y and −20y to get 10y.

10y=−5

Divide both sides by 10

y= -5/10

Reduce the fraction -5/10 = -0.5 to lowest terms by extracting and cancelling out 5 .

A Shampoo Problem: A bottle contains 25.4 fluid ounces of shampoo. Katie uses 0.25 of the bottle. How much shampoo is left? a. I
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

a) There is no a word problem for both expressions (m = 0.25\cdot 25.4 and m = 25.4-0.25), b) A bottle contains 25.4 fluid ounces of shampoo. Katie uses 0.75 of the bottle. How much shampoo is left? A bottle contains 25.4 fluid ounces of shampoo. Katie uses 0.25 fluid ounces of the bottle. How much shampoo is left?

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The shampoo problem is a word problem for:

(Final content) = (Initial content) - (Used content)

Then,

m = 25.4 - 0.25\cdot 25.4

Or:

m = 0.75\cdot 25.4

Hence, there is no a word problem for both expressions (m = 0.25\cdot 25.4 and m = 25.4-0.25).

b) The word problem for m = 0.25\cdot 25.4 is:

A bottle contains 25.4 fluid ounces of shampoo. Katie uses 0.75 of the bottle. How much shampoo is left?

The word problem for m = 25.4-0.25 is:

A bottle contains 25.4 fluid ounces of shampoo. Katie uses 0.25 fluid ounces of the bottle. How much shampoo is left?

The data is average number of people living in the homes.

Qualitative data as its name indicates is an attribute or characteristic. It can not be measured e.g color. Quantitative data is such a data which can be counted or measured.

Since the average number of people can be counted and measured, the data is Quantitative.

In an observational study the individuals are observed. In the given case, Kira did not observed the individuals to gather the data, rather she used an Online resource to gather the data.

Therefore, the correct answer will be:
Kira used published data that is quantitative.
