Ahardware store has three locations: west, north, and south. the hardware store counted the number of bags of salt sold at each of the three locations each day for a month. this table shows the mean and the mean absolute deviation of the number of bags of salt sold each day. which statements are correct? select each correct answer. the number of bags of salt sold at west varied less than did the number sold at south. the number of bags of salt sold at north and south varied about the same amount. the number of bags of salt sold at west varied more than did the number sold at north. the number of bags of salt sold at west and south varied about the same amount. store location mean number of sales mean absolute deviation west 48 3.1 north 49 6.7 south 28 6.9

step-by-step explanation: h: (- 3, 6)

m: (1, - 2)

o: (7, 6)

r: (- 9, - 2)

midpoint of hm: (- 1, 2)

midpoint of or: (- 1, 2)

therefore, b is the midpoint of both diagonals bisect each other !

to prove the diagonals are perpendicular, show that the product of the slopes = - 1

delaney would like to make a 5lb nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds.

she has several pounds of peanuts and several pounds of a mixture that is 20% peanuts and 80% almonds.

let 'p' represent the number of pounds of peanuts needed to make the new mixture, and  

let 'm' represent the number of pounds of the 80% almond-20% peanut mixture.

:

p + m = 5

therefore

m = (5-p)

write an equation based on the percent of peanuts

1p + .2m = .6(5)

replace m with (5-p)

p + .2(5-p) = .6(5)

p + 1 - .2p = 3

p - .2p = 3 - 1

.8p = 2

p = 2/.8

p = 2.5 lbs of peanuts required

then

5 - 2.5 = 2.5 lbs of the peanut/almond mixture required

:

a) what is the system that models this situation?

p + m = 5

1p + .2m = .6(5)
