Really woulld appreciate some help with these , not just the answer but how to solve them. thank you very much.



1. americans spent an average of 13.6% of their monthly earnings on mortage payments which represented a 41% decrease from the value in 2006. what % of monthly earnings did americans spend on mortgage payments in 2006?



2.The distance to the moon is about 380,000 KM while the distance to Mars is, on average, around 225 Million KM. Calculate these distances using a scale of 1 to 1 billion.




3.These numbers show eighth grade math scores in bc and sask. the scores are seperated according to type of school attended.

BC Private 285 Public 254 Average over all schools 258
Sask Private 287 Public 255 Average 256

Is there a mistake in the table? Is it possible that scores in private schools and public schools were both higher in Sask but when all students were combined BC had a higher average? Explain.

If they are not that difficult why do you need help, if you can't do these things on your own you have a real issue, these are roughly 5th-6th grade level questions. Tell me where your stuck or show me your work and I'll help you finish if your actually attempting.

1st one I did 13.6% x 1.59 to get me 21.62 %

2nd I don't have a clue

3rd no idea

Multiplying by 1.59 is wrong. You need to divide by 0.59.

2nd is simple division.

there is no mistake in the table, you can get that result by having many more public schools in sask than private and many more public schools in bc than private, as the averages suggest

Ahh okay . Thank you . In regards to 2 do you just divide by 1 billion?

The question is very vague. You don't know whether they mean 1 billion meters or 1 billion kilometers.
