A bucket containing 2 4/5 gallons of water is 1/3 full. How many gallons of water is in one fully filled bucket?

We are asked to find the one of the lengths of a right-angled triangle, we use the Pythagoras theorem to find the unknown length.

First, we label the triangle as below and let the unknown length be x.

Then, we apply the Pythagoras theorem to find the value of x as:

\(a^2+b^2=c^2\)

The value of the unknown length is approximately 8.9 feet.

We are being asked to find the amount of milk needed. This is a proportion problem, which compares the amount of flour to that of milk. Letting x represent the amount of milk required, we set up the proportion with flour on the numerator and amount of milk in denominator as follows:

Change the mixed fraction of 1 1/5 into improper fraction as follows

The proportion equation becomes

Cross-multiply to solve for x

As an mixed fraction, 36/5 becomes 7 1/5. Therefore, 7 1/5 cups of milk are needed to make a big batch of 2 cups.

By inspection, we find the corresponding values of the given denominations in the following manner.

Centimeteris the appropriate unit to measure the length of a dollar bill.

To find the median, we arrange the following numbers in data set from the smallest to the largest as follows.

-3, -2, 0, 5, 10

From the above the data set, the median falls in the third position. Thus, 0 is the median for the given data set.

We are asked to find the Kwame’s uncle’s age in terms of Kwame’s age.

First, we need to find the age of Kwame, which is k. Then, we know that Kwame’s uncle’s age is three times that of Kwame less 17. Then,

Kwame’s uncle’s age, u = 3k-17.

Thus, the relation that relates Kwame’s uncle’s age to that of Kwame is u=3k-17.

We are asked to find the number of gallons full tank can hold. The fraction of full tank is 1.

First, we let x be the number of gallons in full tank. Then, set the proportion equation by setting the number of gallons on the numerator and fraction of tank on denominator as follows.

Convert the mixed fraction into proper fraction and cross-multiply to find the value of x.

Converting 42/5 to a mixed fraction is 8 2/5. Thus, when the tank is full, it holds 8 2/5 gallons of water.

We are asked to convert kg to pounds using the given relation. Letting x to represent the lb we are looking for.

Nest, we set the proportion with kg in the numerator and lb on the denominator as follows.

We find the value of x by cross-multiplication

The value of x is 110 lb.

Percentages are fractions with denominator equal to 100. The given percent is divided by 100. To convert it to a decimal form, we move the decimal point two points to the left from the current position. Thus

The decimal form of 87.5% is 0.875.

We need to find the price changes in each day of the week in order to find the price of the stock on Thursday.

Monday’s price was $50.33

Tuesday’s price went up by $2.35 from Monday’s price. The price was $(50.33+2.35)=$52.68

Wednesday’s price decreased by $1.07 from Tuesday’s price, and so the price of the stock was $(52.68-1.07)=$51.61

Thursday’s price increased by $0.75 from Wednesday’s price, which was $(51.61+0.75)=$52.36

Therefore, the price of the stock on Thursday was $52.36.
