! a wildlife refuge in south america has howler monkeys and spider monkeys. a biologist working there randomly selected eight adults of each type of monkey, weighed them, and recorded their weights in pounds. howler monkey: {15, 16, 17, 17, 17, 17, 18, 19} spider monkey: {12, 13, 13, 14, 14, 14, 16, 16} what inference can be made about the weight of both types of monkeys? explain.

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
