la-nina-de-tus-ojos: I have no idea how to do number 7… Can somebody please help me? If you can’t see it it says “the median of a set of 9 consecutive integers is 42. What is the greatest of these 9 integers?” median means the middle, so the middle of nine is 5.9 - 5 = 4Therefore there are 4 numbers greater than the 42, so the answer is 46.

median means the middle, so the middle of nine is 5.
9 - 5 = 4
Therefore there are 4 numbers greater than the 42, so the answer is 46.
