A lab scale weighs 3 pounds, 5 ounces. Which of the following is the scale's weight in ounces(oz)?
29 oz
41 oz
35 oz
53 oz
Correct Answer : D
We convert the given weight in pounds to ounces and find total weight. 1 pound=16 ounces, which we interpret as

Or

Use the second option to convert pounds to ounces

Now, we can ounces to ounces as: 48 oz + 5 oz= 53 oz
Therefore, 3 pounds, 5 ounces is equal to 53 oz

The given ratio of yoghurt to toppings is 4:3, meaning:
Yoghurt : toppings =4 : 3
We are given 4.5 oz of toppings and need to find the amount of yoghurt.
Step 1: Set up the proportion
=

Explanation
The median temperature can be found by organizing the temperature values from the smallest to the largest value as follows:
98.6, 98.7, 99.0, 99.0,99.2, 99.3, 99.7, 100.0
(for an even set of numbers, Median = frac{(frac{n}{2})th observation + (frac{n}{2} + 1) th observation}{2})
From the data set above, there are 8temperature values. The median is the temperature value in the middle position, which falls between the(frac{n}{2} th)and((frac{n}{2} + 1) th) position. Here N=8and median is found as:
(frac{(frac{n}{2})th + (frac{n}{2} + 1) th}{2} = )(frac{(frac{8}{2})th + (frac{8}{2} + 1) th }{2} = 4.5th position)
The element in the 4.5th position is the average of the 4th and 5th element.
(frac{99.0 + 99.2}{2} = 99.1)
Thus 99.1 is the median temperature.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
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.

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.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
In this problem, we take the triangle as a right-angled triangle and label it as follows:

From the Pythagoras theorem A2 + B2= C2, we can look for a combination of A and B that when the squares of A and B are summed give a square of 13. Â Mathematically,

But C=13 inches


If we take A=5 inches and B=12 inches, then



Next, we take A=2.5 inches, B=6 inches



Next, we take A=2.5 inches, B=4 inches

6.25+16=169
22.25≠169
Taking A=5 inches and B=8 inches



From the above computation, the combination of A=5 inches and B=12 inches give a triangle with a hypothenuse of 13 inches.
Correct Answer is A

49.5 pounds of fertilizer is needed to farm 1 acre of land. This can be interpreted as:

Or

Now we are needed to find the acres of land that will be farmed using 2000 pounds of fertilizers. To solve this, we use the second option as follows:

2000 pounds of fertilizers can farm approximately 40 acres of land.
Correct Answer is C

When dividing fractions, the division sign is changed into multiply sign and the first fraction is multiplied by the inverse of the second fraction.

Change division to multiply sign and find invers of 5/8. The inverse of a fraction is inverting the given fraction. The denominator becomes the numerator and the numerator becomes the denominator.

Correct Answer is A
Explanation
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.
