A farmer is planning for a growing season and want to know the trend in amount of rainfall in his area. He obtains rainfall falling in the first 5 months of the year as shown in the above table. Which of the following would best display the data?

Month	January	February	March	April	May
Rainfall (mm)	20	6	14	28	34

 

We need to form a mathematical expression from the given word problem.

Let the unknown number be x.

Thrice a number is three times = 3x

Twelve less than thrice a number = 3x-12

Thus, the mathematical expression from the word problem is 3x-12

In order for the teacher to better visualize the test performance for his class, he needs to present the mark distribution in chart form. A better chart visualizer is the histogram, which will show the frequency of marks against range of test scores. A bar graph will not be used because the rectangles need to touch one another.

In a bar graph, the rectangles do not touch each other. Therefore, it will not be a good chart visualizer.

In a bell-shaped curve, the data distribution is symmetric around a single peak. The centering of data around a single peak means the mean, mode and median of the test are all equal to each other.

In this scenario, we use the given scale in the charts to find the number of each coin and selected the right number of coins the student collected.

From the above evaluations, option two is the correct choice.

We are required to find the percent equivalent of the given fraction.

We multiply 7/8 by 100 to convert it to percent. You convert fraction to percent.

Thus 7/8 is equal to 87.5%.

We use given information to find how much ammonia is need to make the specified solution.

We are told, one gallon of cleaning solution requires 10oz of ammonia. Expressing this mathematically yields two options:

\(\frac{10\ oz\ of\ ammonia}{1\ gallon\ of\ solution}\)or\(\frac{1\ gallon\ of\ solution}{10\ oz\ of\ ammonia}\)

Now we find how much ammonia is needed using option two.

\(51\ gallon\ of\ solution\ *\frac{10\ oz\ of\ ammonia}{1\ gallon\ of\ solution}\ =\ 510\ oz\ of\ ammonia\)

From the above equation, gallon of solution will cancel, and oz of ammonia is left.

Therefore, the solution will require 510 oz of ammonia.

We are required to find the doctor’s earning in 4 weeks after taking off taxes.

The first step is to find the total weekly deductions as follows:

Total weekly tax=federal income tax + state income tax + Social Security tax

Total weekly tax=$(85.00+40.00+81.00)

Total tax=$206.00

The next step is to find the weekly income after deducting total taxes

Weekly net income=gross income-total tax

Weekly net income=$(980.00-206.00)=$774.00

In one week, the net income of the doctor is $774.00 and after 4 weeks, the net income will be 4 times his weekly earning

Based rainfall falling for the first 5 months, a bar graph will give a great display for the farmer to decide when start planting. The horizontal scale will represent months of the year and vertical scale will present the amount of rainfall falling.

We use 1 L =1000 mL to convert between the two units. The conversion options of interconversions are:

And

We want millimeters, use the second option to change L to mL as:

Therefore, 2.5 L is equivalent to 2500 mL.

In the given problem, we use the calculator to evaluate the product 1.9 * 0.75 = 1.425
