Beck finished 30% of his homework in 12 minutes. How many minutes will it take him to complete all of his homework?

2 answers:

7 0

The correct answer is choice D. If you put choice D into words, it is saying 30% (0.3) of the total is 12 minutes.

To solve this, use inverse operations.

0.3m = 12
0.3 0.3
m = 40

It will take Beck 40 minutes.

Part A) The answer is D) 0.3m = 12.
Part B) The answer is 40 minutes.

If m is the total number of minutes it takes him to complete his homework, 30% of m is given by 0.3m. Since 30% was done in 12 minutes, we have 0.3m=12.

To solve this, we divide both sides by 0.3:
0.3m/0.3 = 12/0.3
m = 40

780 students stand in rows and columns. each row has an equal number of students and each column has an equal number of students

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of rows

780=x(x+4)

$780=x^{2} +4x$

$x^{2} +4x-780=0\\(x+26)(x-30)=0\\x=30 \\x\neq -26\\$

there are 26 rows and 30 students in each row 26*30=780

There were 8 judges at a gymnastics competition. Kathleen received these scores for her performance on the uneven parallel bars.

Korolek [52]

Answer:

below

Step-by-step explanation:

mean : 8.8

The mean is the average, so you find it by adding all the numbers together and dividing by n, or how many numbers there are. For this, I added to get 70.4 and divided that by 8 (8 total scores).

70.4/8 = 8.8.

median : 8.85

The median is the middle of the data set, so you put the numbers in increasing order (lowest number to highest number) and then finding the middle of that set. For this set, since there is an even number of numbers (8), you have to find the middle by adding the two middle numbers and dividing by 2.

8.2, 8.7, 8.8, 8.8, 8.9, 8.9, 8.9, 9.2

The middle numbers are 8.8 and 8.9, so you add those together and divide by 2 to get 8.85.

mode : 8.9

The mode is just what number appears most often. Because 8.9 appears three times in this data set, more than any other number, the mode is 8.9.

b. The mean reflects a typical score because it is the average, and is used most often when someone is expressing a typical or "average" score. It is the score most people are likely to get, and as there are no outliers in this data set, it reflects a typical score for this data set. It is also the same as the mode, or most often score, in this data set.
