Bill bought 38 1/2 feet of wire fencing to put around his blueberry plants. He cut the wire into several pieces, each one measuring 5 1/2 feet. How many pieces of wire did he have after making the cuts?

7

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given that Bill bought 38 1/2 feet of wire. Convert the mixed fraction into improper fraction.

The length L1 = 77/2

You are given that he cut the wire into several pieces, each one measuring 5 1/2 feet. Convert it too to improper fraction.

The length L2 = 11/2

To know how many number of pieces of wire he have after making the cuts, divide length L1 by length L2. That is,

L1/L2 = 77/2 ÷ 11/2

Change the division to multiplication by reciprocating 11/2 to 2/11

77/2 × 2/11 = 77/11 = 7

Therefore, he had 7 pieces of wires after making the cuts.

step-by-step explanation:

7.   there are 10 data points in the set.   the middle point is between 5 and 6.   the middle point in the top half is 8   and the middle point in the bottom half is 3. to find the iqr , take point 8 and subtract point 3

mid term   point 8 = 100   point 3 = 88

iqr = 100-88 = 12

final   point 8 = 93   point 3 = 78

iqr = 93 - 78 = 15

the final has the greatest iqr

6.   b - there is a high data value that causes the data set to be asymmetrical for the males: the data for males are high and asymmetrical .   there is an outlier for the males that skews the data

5.   the   iqr is a better measure of spread for the movies and basketball games.   since the basketball game has an outlier, we do not want to use standard deviation for measurement.  

3.   the exam median is much higher than the class median.   the median line is farther to the right on the exams

2.   there is no way to tell what the means are from the box and whisker plots.  

10/60

step-by-step explanation:

if you divide 10 by 60 the answer is 0.166666 while if you divide or solve the other problems it equals 0.6
