a certain list consists of 21 different numbers . if n is in the list and n is 4 times the average ( arithmetic mean ) of the other 20 numbers in the list , then n is what fraction w of the sum of the 21 numbers in the list ?
"this is how i used to calculate which i think works pretty well : if you let the average of the 20 other numbers equal a , can you write this equation for sum of the list ( s ) n + 20 a = s the question tells us that n = 4 a plug this back into the first equation and you get that the sum is 24 a 4 a + 20 a = 24 a therefore fraction w of n to the total would be 4 a / 24 a or 1 / 6 answer b"

susan finds that she spends her free time during summer vacation between swimming , reading , and hanging out with friends in a ratio of 1 : 4 : 10 . how many hours did she spend reading if she hung out with her friends for 20 hours ?
the ratio is 1 hour swimming : 4 hours reading : 10 hours hanging out with friends . divide 20 by 10 to find 1 ` ` part ' ' of the ratio . 20 / 10 = 2 multiply this by 4 to find the hours spent reading . 2 * 4 = 8 the answer is d .
