Marlon is bowling in a tournament and has the highest average after 5 games, with scores of 210, 225, 254, 231, and 280. In order to maintain this exact average, what must be Marlon's score for his 6th game?

By scoring 240 in the sixth game, Marlon can maintain this exact average

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing to do here is to calculate the average for the first 5 games.

Mathematically, the average can be calculated by adding all the scores in the games and dividing by 5;

= (210 + 225 + 254 + 231 + 280)/5 = 1200/5 = 240

Now to maintain this average score of 240, we want to know the score she must have in the 6th game.

Let the score be x;

By adding x to the previous total of 1200 before and dividing by the new count of 6, we can work our way to get x.

Mathematically, what we are saying is;

(1200 + x)/6 = 240

6 * 240 = 1200 + x

1440 = 1200 + x

x = 1440 -1200

x = 240

∠acb = 8°

step-by-step explanation:

∠xba lies on the circle and is half the measure of the intercepted arc ax

hence

measure of arc ax = 2 × 42° = 84°

∠acb is outside the circle and is

∠acb = (arcab - arcax ), hence

∠acb = 0.5 (100 - 84) = 0.5 × 16° = 8°
