Soft Drinks

Orange

Two 24-packs for $15; one 24-pack for $9

Root Beer

One 24-pack for $14

Cream Soda

One 12-pack for $3

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

The initial step is to convert the decimal options to fractions. Then, we find the LCM of the denominators of all fractions, which will be used to compare the values of the given options.

-0. becomes -9/10

-1.7 becomes -17/10

Then, the resulting denominators are 9, 10, and 63. Their LCM of 630 is used to multiply each fraction.

-2/9*630=-140

-9/10*630=-567

-17/10*630=-1071

-4/7*630=-360

From the calculations above, -140 is the greatest value of all the values. Thus, -2/9 is the greatest number.

A standard six-sided die has the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The even numbers are 2, 4, and 6.

Step 1: Probability of rolling an even number on the first roll

There are 3 even numbers out of 6 total numbers, so:

P (evenonsecondroll) = 3/6 = ½

Step 2: Probability of rolling an even number on the second roll

Since rolling the die is an independent event, the probability remains:

P (evenonsecondroll) = 3/6 = ½

Step 3: Multiply the probabilities

P (evenonfirstANDevenonsecond) = ½ × ½ = ¼

The number of boxes is found by volume of the room divided by volume of one box.

Number of boxes

The room can hold 125 boxes.

To find the area of the room, we form an equation of find an equation relating the length and width of the rectangle. If we let the width of the room to be w, then

Width of the rectangle= w

Length of rectangle=(w+8)

Area of the rectangle, A= Length*width=(w+8)*w

A=w(w+8)

Thus, the area of the rectangular room is w(w+8).

The range of a data set is calculated as:

Range=MaximumValue−MinimumValue

From the given bar graph:

• The minimum number of goals scored is 0.
• The maximum number of goals scored is 5.

Thus, the range is:

5−0=5

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.

9/26 is equivalent to 9÷26. The value becomes 0.3461538.

Thus, 0.35is the decimal equivalent of 9/26.

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

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

John’s age=k

John’s uncle’s age, u = 5k-12.

Thus, the relationship between Japheth’s uncle’s age to that of Japheth is u=5k-12.

To estimate the total amount, round each price to the nearest dollar:

1. Hat: $19.49 → $19 (since 0.49 rounds down)
2. Shirt: $21.49 → $21 (since 0.49 rounds down)
3. Shoes: $59.99 → $60 (since 0.99 rounds up)

Now, add the rounded values:

19+21+60=10019 + 21 + 60 = 10019+21+60=100
