Carlos is playing basketball this season. He is trying to average 25 points per game. He has scored 27, 18, 24, 32, 15, and 27 points in the previous 6 games. What equation can help you find the score for the last game that will give Carlos an average of 25 points?
27+18+24+32+15+277+s=25 Start Fraction 27 plus 18 plus 24 plus 32 plus 15 plus 27 over 7 End Fraction plus s equals 25 27+18+24+32+15+17+s7=25 Start Fraction 27 plus 18 plus 24 plus 32 plus 15 plus 17 plus s over 7 End Fraction equals 25 27+18+24+32+15+27+s7=25 Start Fraction 27 plus 18 plus 24 plus 32 plus 15 plus 27 plus s over 7 End Fraction equals 25 143s7=25 Start Fraction 143 s over 7 End Fraction equals 25
The correct equation that can help find the score for the last game that will give Carlos an average of 25 points is:
(27 + 18 + 24 + 32 + 15 + 27 + s) / 7 = 25
A horse trainer has a bag of pink sugar mints for horse treats. She needs five treats per training session. The bag holds 42 mints. Which equation shows the number of horses that she can train and is a solution a viable option?
h5=42 and h=210, which is not viable. Start Fraction h over 5 End Fraction equals 42 and h equals 210 , which is not viable. h−5=42 and h=47, which is not viable. h minus 5 equals 42 and h equals 47 , which is not viable. 5h=42, so h=8.4 horses, which is not viable. 5 h equals 42 , so h equals 8.4 horses, which is not viable. 5h=42, so h=8.4 horses, which is viable.
The equation that shows the number of horses that can be trained and is a viable option is:
5h = 42
This equation implies that 5 multiplied by the number of horses (h) is equal to 42.
Solving this equation, we find that h = 8.4 horses.
However, since it is not possible to have a fraction of a horse, this option is not viable.
The correct equation to find the score for the last game to give Carlos an average of 25 points is:
(27 + 18 + 24 + 32 + 15 + 27 + s) / 7 = 25
where s is the score for the last game.
To find the equation that can help you find the score for the last game, you need to determine the total score Carlos has after playing the previous 6 games. Then you can set up an equation using the average formula.
To find the total score, you add up the scores from the previous 6 games: 27 + 18 + 24 + 32 + 15 + 27 = 143.
Now, let's set up the equation using the average formula:
(143 + s)/7 = 25
Here, "s" represents the score for the last game. By plugging in the values, you can solve for "s" and find the score Carlos needs in the last game to have an average of 25 points.
