A recipe that serves 6 calls for 4 ounces of tomato sauce. Compute
the amount of tomato sauce necessary to serve 8 people. Round your
answer to the nearest ounce

Work Shown:

(6 servings)/(4 oz of sauce) = (8 servings)/(x oz of sauce)

6/4 = 8/x

6*x = 4*8

6x = 32

x = 32/6

x = 5.333 approximately

x = 6 we round up despite 5.333 being closer to 5, than it is to 6.

If we went with 5 ounces, then we wouldn't clear the hurdle needed to serve 8 people.

The section below goes over why this is the case in more detail.

6 servings : 4 ounces

6/4 servings : 4/4 ounces

1.5 servings : 1 ounce

So one ounce of sauce gets us 1.5 servings.

If we multiply both sides by 5, then,

1.5 servings : 1 ounce

5*1.5 servings : 5*1 ounce

7.5 servings : 5 ounces

This shows that 5 ounces of sauce will only produce 7.5 servings, which comes up short compared to 8 servings.

If we multiplied both sides by 6, then

1.5 servings : 1 ounce

6*1.5 servings : 6*1 ounce

9 servings : 6 ounces

This shows that 6 ounces of sauce yields 9 servings. We've gone overboard, but it's better to do that than come up short.

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.
