One number is 8 times another number. the numbers are both positive and have a difference of 70. find the number

the anwer would be 560 cause it says 8 times anthor number so 70 times 8 would be the anwer so ya.

With questions like these you must use the information you get to form equations which model your problem.

I'll use these variable in my equation:

- B = big number

- s = small number

B - s = 70 <- big number is first since the difference is positive

B = 8s. <- One number is 8 times another number, well it wouldn't make sense if the smallest number is 8 times the biggest number. So we know it must be B that is 8 times "s".

I can substitute what I have in the second equation for B in the first.

8s - s = 70.

7s = 70

7s/7 = 70/7

s = 10.

So the small number is 10.

B = 10*8

B = 80.

And the big number is 80.

median is the value separating the higher half of a data sample, a population or probablity distribution from the lower half.

step-by-step explanation:

say you have 3,8,7,3,1,9,8 order them from lowest to highest

if orderd it would be 1,3,3,7,8,8,9 now you take away from the lowest and the highest until you end up in the middle.

so you would remove the 1 and 9 leaving you with 5 digits remaining

when you've reached the middle that would be your answer so in this case the answer is 7

if there were two numbers left say 7 and 5 you'd and them together so 12 then divide by 2 witch would equal 6 so the answer would be 6

good luck on that project hoped i you at all
