HELP PLEASE ASAP The following box plot shows the number of years during which 24 schools have participated in an interschool swimming meet:
A box and whisker plot is drawn using a number line from 0 to 10 with primary markings and labels at 0, 5, 10. In between two primary markings are 4 secondary markings. The box extends from 1 to 6 on the number line. There is a vertical line at 3.5. The whiskers end at 0 and 8. Above the plot is written Duration of Participation. Below the plot is written Years.

At least how many schools have participated for 1 year or less?

6 schools
8 schools
12 schools
14 schools

6 schools

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 6 schools.

In a box and whisker plot, every piece of whisker or box represents 25% of the whole number of schools.

The schools participated 1 year or less are represented by the left part of the whisker. Which stands for 25%.

To make an equation we need to set 100% = 24 and solve for 25% :

solvr and x=6

1

step-by-step explanation:

it's the only multiple of both and the least

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240
