A carpenter has several boards of equal length. He cuts 3/5 of each broads. After cutting the boards the carpenter notices that he has enough pieces left over to make up the same length as 4 of the original board. How many boards did the carpenter star with?

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of boards are the same :

Let number of boards = x

Fraction cut from each board = 3/5

Total fraction cut = 3/5 * x

Fraction left = 1 - 3/5 = 2/5

Total fraction left = 2/5 * x

Total pieces left = 2/5 * x = 4 times length of original board

Note ; original fraction = 1

Hence,

2/5 * x = 4 * 1

2x / 5 = 4

2x = 4 * 5

2x = 20

x = 20 / 2

x = 10

Number of boards = 10

i would pic false cause it goes down towards negative

step-by-step explanation:

see below

step-by-step explanation:

7.   there are 10 data points in the set.   the middle point is between 5 and 6.   the middle point in the top half is 8   and the middle point in the bottom half is 3. to find the iqr , take point 8 and subtract point 3

mid term   point 8 = 100   point 3 = 88

iqr = 100-88 = 12

final   point 8 = 93   point 3 = 78

iqr = 93 - 78 = 15

the final has the greatest iqr

6.   b - there is a high data value that causes the data set to be asymmetrical for the males: the data for males are high and asymmetrical .   there is an outlier for the males that skews the data

5.   the   iqr is a better measure of spread for the movies and basketball games.   since the basketball game has an outlier, we do not want to use standard deviation for measurement.  

3.   the exam median is much higher than the class median.   the median line is farther to the right on the exams

2.   there is no way to tell what the means are from the box and whisker plots.
