the recipe for a batch of applesauce uses 2 1/2 pounds of apples. if michael wants to make 3/4 of a batch of applesauce, how many pounds of apples will he need?
a. 3/10 of a pound
b. 8/15 of a pound
c. 1 7/8 of a pound
d.3 1/3 of a pound

C. 1 7/8 of a pound

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use  a ratio to solve

2 1/2 pounds     x pounds

=

1 batch               3/4 batch

Change to improper fractions

2 1/2 = (2*2+1)/2 = 5/2

5/2 pounds     x pounds

=

1 batch               3/4 batch

Using cross products

5/2 * 3/4 = 1*x

15/8 = x

Changing from an improper fraction to a mixed number

8 goes into 15 1 time with 7 left over

15/8 = 1 7/8

solution:

as, mean is defined as sum of all the observations divided by total number of observations.

and , median is mid value of the data whether arranged in ascending order or descending order.

consider, roadsters:

2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

mean =

also, median= , because number of observations is even, so median is mean of two mid values.

now, coming to bandits

2,3,4,5,6

mean =  

median = 4, as number of observations is odd.

so, roadsters has greater median as well mean than bandits.

→option a is true about the repairs performed on 2 types of cars:

bandits have lower median and mean than roadsters.

answer:     true
