Which of the following combinations is the most cost-effective?

We are asked to determine Japheth’s uncle’s age relating to Japheth’s age.

First, express Japheth’s uncle’s age in terms of Japheth’s age as follows

Japheth’s age=k

Japheth’s uncle’s age, u = 3k-10.

Thus, the relationship between Japheth’s uncle’s age to that of Japheth is u=3k-10.

In this task, we use the relation from the given scenario to compare the number of dimes to quarters.

If we let p be number of pennies in the bottle. Then,

Number of quarters in the bottle = 2p

Number of nickels in the bottle = 3p

Number of dimes in the bottle =6(3p)=18p

Now relating dimes to quarters, we have

Thus, there are 9 times as many dimes as quarters in the box.

The mean of a data set is the sum of all scores divided by the number of tests.

Total test scores = 83+86+76+88+97 = 430

Number of tests = 5

Mean test score = 430/5 = 86

The mean test score is 86.

We follow the order of operations to solve the given expression. The order of operations is PEMDAS:

• Parentheses
• Exponents
• Multiplication and Division (in order from left to right)
• Addition and Subtraction (in order from left to right)

First, we start with the numerator and solve it as follows

[3(6+5*4)]

We start with multiplication in parenthesis, 5*4=20. The expression becomes

[3(6+20)]

Then, we conduct the addition in parenthesis 6+20=26. Then, the expression becomes

[3(26)]=3*26=78

Now, we solve for denominator, which is 26/2=13.

Thus, the expression is reduced into

The expression reduces into 6.

We use the relation 1 L=1000 mL to convert L to mL.

The two options for converting between L and mL are

And

We use the first option to convert 6.5 L to mL as follows:

Thus, 6.5 L is 6500 mL.

To convert millilitres (mL) to litres (L), we use the fact that:

1 L=1000 mL

So, to convert 2,500 mL to litres:

=2.5 L

Thus, the patient needs 2.5 litres of saline.

The correct answer is C. 2.5 L.

C organizes the collection correctly.

We use the given slope to find the minimum length of the ramp. In this case, slope is the ratio of height to length of the lamp. Thus,

If we let x be the minimum length of the ramp. Then,

Substituting the value of slope into the above equation results in,

Solve for value of x by cross-products

X = 18 Feet

Thus, the minimum length of the ramp needed to provide access to a door that is 1.5 high is 18 feet.

The number of cups of milk to make a bigger batch, we proceed as follows:

First convert the mixed number 1 2/5 as

Then, we let the unknown number of cups of milk to be x and we set a proportion equation with number cups of floor as numerator and cups of milk as denominator

Find the value of x by cross-products

2 as a fraction is 2/1 which is then used to find the product of the numerator as follows.

Per means division. The above equation becomes

When dividing fractions, we multiply the first fraction with the reciprocal of the second. The reciprocal of 2/9 is 9/2. Thus

The numbers of cups of milk required is 63/5, which when converted to mixed fraction becomes 12 3/5.

We are asked to find the number of cups of flour that will be used to make 90 cookies.

First, we convert 2 ¼ into improper fraction as:

Letting x to be the number of cups of flour, we set up a proportion equation with number of cookies on numerator and number of cups of flour on the denominator becomes:

Solve the value of x by cross-products

Dividing both sides by 60, the above equation result to

Thus, the number of cups of flour needed to make 90 cookies is 81/16 cups, which is equal to 5 1/16 cups.
