A consumer needs to purchase at least 50 soft drinks for a picnic. Which of the following combinations is the most cost-effective?

we are asked to find the number of cups of flour that will be used to make 130 cookies.

First, we convert 3 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 64, the above equation result to

Thus, the number of cups of flour needed to make 130 cookies is 845/128 cups, which is equal to 6 77/128 cups.

The median of a data set is determined by arranging the numbers in ascending orders, and the median is the number the falls in the middle position.

-7, -4, 1, 3, 9

There are five numbers in the data set, and the median falls in the third position from either side. Thus, 1 fall in the third position.

To round 24.375 kg to the nearest tenth (0.1 place), follow these steps:

1. Identify the tenth place in 24.375:
   • Tenth place: 3 (24.375)
   • Hundredths place: 7 (the next digit after the hundredths place)
2. Apply rounding rules:
   • If the hundredths place is 5 or greater, round up the tenth place.
   • Since 7 is in the hundredths place, round 24.3 up to 24.4.

the mean of a data set is the total scores divided by the number of tests.

Total test scores =80+68+74+87+96=405

Number of tests =5

Mean test score =405/5=81

The mean test score is 81.

The scatter plot showing the relationship between the number of absences in a semester and students’ final exam scores. The trend shows that as absences increase, exam scores decrease.

This represents a Negative Correlation because:

• When one variable (absences) increases, the other variable (exam score) decreases.
• The points on the scatter plot trend downward from left to right.

We follow the order of operations to solve the given expression.

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

[3(2+6*4)]

We start with multiplication in inner brackets, 6*4=24. The expression becomes

[3(2+24)]

Then, we conduct the addition of 2+24=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

\(\frac{[3(2+6\ast4)]}{(26\div2)}=\frac{78}{13}=6\)

The expression reduces into 6.

 To find the minimum length requires, we need to understand what slope in the question represents. The slope represents the ratio between the height to the length. Let x be the minimum length of the ramp. Then,

Now, we find the value of x by cross-products as follows

Thus, the minimum length required to provide access is 60 feet.

The range is a simple measure of statistical dispersion that shows the spread between the highest and lowest values in a data set.

Formula for Range:

Range=MaximumValue−MinimumValue

Example Calculation:

From the given box plot:
Identify the maximum value: 92

1. Identify the minimum value: 12
2. Subtract the minimum from the maximum: 92−12=80

Thus, the range of this data set is 80.

To determine the number of sophomore students, follow these steps:

1. Identify the total number of students:

1,276

1. Identify the percentage of sophomores:

29%

1. Calculate the number of sophomores:

(29%×1,276) = (29/100× 1,276) = 370.04

1. Round to the nearest whole number:

370

 We are asked to make w the subject of the formula.

First, we rearrange the equation by to ensure w is on the right hand of the equation.

Then, divide both sides by r

Multiply both sides by y

The above equation can be rearranged into

Thus, the formula for finding the value of w is (x/ry)-(z/r).
