Melinda rents paddle boats down at the pier. she uses 5.5 feet of nylon rope to tie off each boat. she started with 80 feet of rope. after securing all the boats, she was left with more than 3 feet of rope. how many boats did melinda tie off?

The number of boats Melinda tied are less than 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of boats = n

Now, Melinda ties 1 boat with 5.5 feet of nylon rope.

So, she ties 'n' boats with feet of nylon rope.

That is, the length of the rope used = feet of nylon rope .....(1)

Since, initial length of the rope = 80 feet and the remaining length of the rope > 3 feet.

Then, the length of the rope used < 80 - 3 .....(2)

That is, from (1) and (2),

step-by-step explanation:

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
