Let w won games, t tied games, s lose games

s=4w

t=w-5

s+t+w=43

4w+(w-5)+w=43

6w=48

w=7

s=4*7=21 games lost

Question
Sara got 98, 100, 65, 78, 98, 46, 100, 100, 45, and 50 on her reading test. Lee got 97, 67, 89, 99, 100, 45, 79, 89, 58, and 67 on his reading test. What is the mean of Sara's reading test? What is the mean of Lee's reading test? please help with both questions.
Solution 1

A mean is an arithmetic average of a set of observations. Sara's mean score is 78, while Lee's mean score is 79.

What is Mean?

A mean is an arithmetic average of a set of observations. it is given by the formula,

Mean = (Sum of observations)/Number of observations

Given the reading score of Sara are 98, 100, 65, 78, 98, 46, 100, 100, 45, and 50. Therefore, the mean will be,

Mean= (Sum of observations)/Number of observations

Mean = (98+100+65+78+98+46+100+100+45+50)/10

Mean = 780/10

Mean = 78

Given the reading score of Lee are 97, 67, 89, 99, 100, 45, 79, 89, 58, and 67. Therefore, the mean will be,

Mean= (Sum of observations)/Number of observations

Mean = (97+67+89+99+100+45+79+89+58+67)/10

Mean = 790/10

Mean = 79

Hence, Sara's mean score is 78, while Lee's mean score is 79.

Solution 2

Answer:

Saras Mean on her reading test is 78

Lee's Mean on his reading test is 79

Step-by-step explanation:

You add grades for Sara's test together and then you will divide by the= number of graded test there were and you will get 78.

You add Lee's Grades for the test together and divide by the number of graded test there were and you will get 79.

Question
A decorative fish tank is in the shape of a right rectangular prism is shown in the diagram. What is the volume of the fish tank? A) 18 m³ B) 2212 m³ C)2614 m³ D)105 m³
Solution 1
To solve for the volume of a prism, you have to do B*h/3. So whatever your height is, multiply by the area of the base to get the volume. 
Question
The table shows the weekly change in the water level in a swimming pool. After 4 weeks, the pool owner adds water to return the water level back to the original level. Raising the water level by 1 inch requires 320 gallons. The water hose has a flow rate of 5.75 gallons of water per minute. Will it take less than an hour to fill the pool back to return the water level to the original level? Explain your reasoning. Week:                       1            2           3             4 Change (in.):          - 1/2        3/4      -1 1/8      -1 3/8 The original question does not mention anything about the water levels.
Solution 1
So we just need to raise the pool back to original level
in total, the pool drained a total of 1 and 3/8 inches
so we need to find out how long it would take to raise the pool by 1 and 3/8 inches

1 inch=320 gallons
1 and 3/8=320 times 1 and 3/8=320 and 960/8=440
he needs to put in 440 gallons
it is 5.75 gallons per minute
find out how many minutes it will take
440=5.75 times x minutes
divide both sides by 5.75
76.521=xminutes
round
77 minutes

1 hour=60 minutes
77>60
it will take more than 1 hour to make the pool back to original level
Question
The probability of winning a game is 25% . How many times should you expect to win if you play 36 times ? 1. 3 times 2. 7 times 3. 9 times 4. 11 times
Solution 1
25% of 36 = 0.25 x 36 = 9

Answer: 9 times
Solution 2
The answer is 9 times. If u struggle w probability like I do u can do it a different way w/our decimals. (Only works for 25,50 and 75%). U can take 25 and know it’s 1/4 of one hundred. U take the 4 and divide. 36/4 = 9. This way is easier for me but if I like the decimal way the. Go for it. My mind works in mysterious ways. ;)
Question
Raul walks 3/8 of a mile to school Laurie walks two thirds of a mile to school how much longer is Lori's walk then Raul's walk
Solution 1
Hello!

First you have to make the denominators the same

2/3 = 16/24

3/8 = 9/24

Now you subtract them

16/24 - 9/24 = 7/24

The answer is 7/24

Hope this helps!
Question
A miner descended 1200 feet into a mine. While in the mine, he then rose 450 feet and then descended 150 feet. What was the miner's net gain or loss in altitude? 1500 ft 600 ft –1500 ft –900 ft
Solution 1
The net loss is 1150
Solution 2
So, let's solve it!
If he rose 450:
1200 + 450 = 1650
If he descended 150:
1650-150 = 1500
1500 feet, his net gain is -300 feet, his loss is 300 feet
