You can put this solution on YOUR website!In each group there are 4 teams; team 1,2,3 and 4.
Group no 1:
1 vs. 2
1 vs. 3
1 vs. 4
2 vs. 3
2 vs. 4
3 vs. 4
As you can see 6 games will be played per group.
6(the amount of games played in each group)x5(the amount of groups)=30(the amount of games played in total)
Therefore, each group will play 6 games and there will be 30 games played in total.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Time Northbound Helicopeter Southbound Helicopter Total Distance apart
(distance from the airport):(distance from the airport): (from each other)
Hour 1:------350km----------------------------325km-----------------675km
Hour 2:------700km-----------------------------650km----------------1350km
Hour 3:------1050km----------------------------975km----------------2025km
Therefore, they will be 2025km apart in three hours!
Note: Ignore the dashes, they're supposed to be blank spances, without them, this wouldn't look like a chart.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!Measure the pan's diameter, find out the height of the tree (by measuring) in pans (the amount of pans the height of the tree is equivilant to). Then convert this into inches, feet, yards, whatever your ruler used as a measurement knowing the diameter of the pan.

The question is asking you to basically find the mean of the data:
Mean=(Data 1+ Data 2)/(divided)Number of data
Our data here are $500,000 and $720,000, so here is the equation:
Company's sales in 1997(mean)=($500,000+$720,000)/2
=$1,220,000/2
=$610,000
Therefore, the company's sales in 1997 were worth $610,000 (estimation)
