Answer:
years worked: 14
at least 10 years: 73%
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean is found by adding the years of service and dividing by the number of employees. The total years of service is 417, so the average is ...
average years worked = 417/30 = 13.9 ≈ 14 . . . years
__
The percentage of employees that have worked there at least 10 years is found by counting the number with 10 or more years of service and dividing that count by the total number of employees. The result is then expressed as a percentage.
(10 years or over)/(total number) = 22/30 = 0.73_3 (a repeating decimal) ≈ 73%

Comment on the working
A spreadsheet can be helpful for this. It has a function that can calculate the mean for you. Sorting the years of service into order can make it trivially easy to count the number that are 10 or more, or you can write a function that will do the count for you. (Also, less than 10 means the years are a single digit. There are 8 single-digit numbers in your list.) The hard part is copying 30 numbers without error.
Answer:
1700 books
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given;
- % of non-fiction books in the library as 28%
- Number of fiction books in the library as 1,224 books
We are required to determine the total number of books.
First we determine the percentage of non-fiction books
We need to know that;
% of fiction books + % of non-fiction books = 100%
Therefore;
% of non-fiction books = 100 % - 28 %
= 72%
Second we determine the total number of books
We know that;
Total number of books = 100%
But;
72% = 1,224 books
Therefore;
Total number of books = (1,224 × 100%) ÷ 72%
= 1700 books
Hence, the library has a total number of 1700 books

If it’s blue rectangle to red then it’s 2
Answer:
x ≥ y + 2
0.50 (x) (x+3) + 2.25 (4) (y) ≤ 50
Step-by-step explanation:
x = width of the car
x+3 = length of the car
y = radius of the car
The width must be at least 2 inches greater than the radius, so:
x ≥ y + 2
The total cost must be no more than $50, so:
0.50 (x) (x+3) + 2.25 (4) (y) ≤ 50
Answer:
4 mi/h
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between the cyclists is the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle. The hypotenuse is √2 times the length of the legs in such a triangle, so each cyclist must have ridden 8 miles in 2 hours.
Their speed is (8 mi)/(2 h) = 4 mi/h.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
Consider an isosceles right triangle with leg lengths 1. Then the Pythagorean theorem tells us the length of the hypotenuse is ...
c² = a² +b² . . . square of hypotenuse is sum of squares of legs
c² = 1² +1² . . . . both legs are 1 in our example triangle
c² = 2
c = √2
That is, the hypotenuse is √2 times the leg length.
