Matt had instructions to take a box of nails to a classroom that has a number equal to the remainder of the division 2960÷9. matt took the nails to class room 17. without performing calculations, tell whether matt is correct. explain your mathematical thinking.

  Matt is not correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The remainder from division by 9 will always be a number less than 9. The number 17 is not less than 9, so Matt made an error.

Matt may have tried to find the remainder by adding the digits of the dividend:

  2 + 9 + 6 + 0 = 17

Matt needs to continue this process until he gets a single digit:

  1 + 7 = 8

8 is the remainder from the division.

median is the value separating the higher half of a data sample, a population or probablity distribution from the lower half.

step-by-step explanation:

say you have 3,8,7,3,1,9,8 order them from lowest to highest

if orderd it would be 1,3,3,7,8,8,9 now you take away from the lowest and the highest until you end up in the middle.

so you would remove the 1 and 9 leaving you with 5 digits remaining

when you've reached the middle that would be your answer so in this case the answer is 7

if there were two numbers left say 7 and 5 you'd and them together so 12 then divide by 2 witch would equal 6 so the answer would be 6

good luck on that project hoped i you at all

answer: 7
