A farmer needs to buy fertilizer for his farmland. The instructions on the bag of the fertilizer say 49.5 pounds of fertilizer is needed for 1 acre of land. The farmer buys 2,000 pounds of fertilizer. Which of the following is the approximate number of acres he can cover with the fertilizer he bought?

from the provided table, the first option represents the amount of gas in gallons while the second column shows the distance in miles. Thus, (6, 144) will denote that the car can 144 miles by consuming 6 gallons of a gas.

We can interpret ‘cannot exceed” as less than ‘<’. Therefore, in our inequality, the symbol < must be included. Now let’s convert the word problem into a mathematical inequality.

Money spent on supplies=s

Money spent on textbooks=t

Total money spent=money spent on supplies + money spent on textbooks

Total money spent = s+t

But the money spent cannot exceed $12,000. Then,

s+t <$12,000.
However the money spent can still be equal to $12000, as it has not exceeded it.

Therefore, therequired inequality is s + t <= $12,000.

Looking at the given trend, it is observed that the price increases with years. From 2008 to 2012, the price is fairly constant but we expect it to be more than $130,000 in the year 2016. The expected price in 2016 is $140,000.

We are given a mix of fractions and decimals and to compare the numbers, we convert the given decimals to fractions.

4.4 becomes 44/10

4.25 becomes 425/100

Now the set of fractions for comparison are: 9/2, 10/3, 44/10, and 425/100. The least common denominator for 2, 3 and 10 is 300. Then,

9/2*300=1350

10/3*300=1000

44/10*300=1320

425/10*300=1275

From the above products, 9/2 gives the greatest value when the fractions are compared with the least common denominator of the given denominators.

Round trip means to and from, which is twice the distance from home to a medical facility.

In one day, the round trip=19+19=38 miles

So, in 22 days, the round trip=38*22=836 miles.

The patient will cover 836 miles in 22 days.

We use the properties of exponent with the same base to solve for above expression.

Multiplication of exponents with same base, we add the exponents

Division of exponents with same base, we subtract the exponents

Using these two properties, we can solve the expression:

Now we use the following properties:

y0 =1, and, thus

all products represent 100%. Then, the portion of defect products is:

0.0025 of 100%

‘of’ means multiply

0.0025 *100%=0.25%

The mean is the total divided by the number of elements in the data set. From the given data set:

Total=30+29+28+30+24+12+26+33+25+23=260

Number of items, N=10

Mean=total/N=260/10=26

The mean is 26.

We solve the problem by first finding the amount of gallons needed for the whole trip then find the cost of the gallon.

The car uses 1 gallon to cover 25 miles, which is same as:

Now, in 3000 miles, the car will use how many gallons of gasoline?

A trip of 3000 miles will need 120 gallons. And to find the cost of 120 gallons, we proceed as follows:

The family will spend $199.20 to drive for 3000 miles.

Percentages always add up to 100%. If we let x be the percent of graduates working for jobs unrelated to law, then

74%+3%+2%+x=100%

79%+x=100%

Subtract 79% from both sides of the equation

79%-79%+x=100%

x=100%-79%

x=21%

So, the number of graduates working for jobs unrelated to law is 21%.
