A person weighed themselves at 153 lb. Five months later they weighed themselves at 120 lb. Which of the following is the percent of weight the person lost over 5 months? (Round to the nearest percent.)
38%
22%
19%
29%
Correct Answer : B
The percentage change in weight is found in three steps below:
Absolute change in weight=final weight-initial weight
Absolute change in weight= (left|120-153 ight|=left|-33 ight|=33)
Relative change in weight= (frac{absolute change}{initial weight}=frac{33}{153}=0.216)
Percent change=relative change * 100%
Percent change=0.216*100%=21.6%
The percent change in weight lost is 21.6 %, which is about 22%.

Correct Answer is A
Explanation
we are asked to find the number of gallons a full tank can hold. A full tank is equivalent to 1.
Convert the mixed fraction into proper fraction as follows
(2frac{2}{5}=frac{left(2ast5 ight)+2}{5}=frac{10+2}{5}=frac{12}{5})
If we let x be the number of gallons in full tank, and setting up the proportion equation with the number of gallons on the numerator and fraction of tank on denominator as follows.
(frac{x gallons}{1 full tank}=frac{frac{12}{5} gallons}{frac{4}{7}full tank})
Cross-multiply to find the value of x.
(frac{x }{1 full tank}=frac{frac{12}{5} gallons}{frac{4}{7}full tank})
(x astfrac{4}{7}full tank=frac{12}{5} gallonsast1 full tank)
(x =frac{frac{12}{5} gallonsast1 full tank}{frac{4}{7}full tank}=frac{12}{5}divfrac{4}{7} gallons=frac{12}{5}astfrac{7}{4}gallons=frac{21}{5}gallons)
Converting 21/5 to a mixed fraction is 4 1/5. Thus, when the tank is full, it holds 4 1/5 gallons of water.

The length of the chair could be appropriately measured in centimeters. Kilometers are used to measure long distances while micrometers could be used to measure the length of small microorganism in microbiology lab. However, milligrams are used to measure the masses of small quantities.
Correct Answer is B
Explanation
P-At=-kr
Subtract P on both sides
P-P-At=-kr-P
-At=-kr-P
Divide both sides by -t
-At/-t=(-kr-P)/-t
A=(kr+P)/t
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
We are asked to find the number of students enrolled in the radiologic program using the information provided on the pie chart.
If we let x represent the number of students enrolled in the radiologic program, we set a proportion equation with number of students on the numerator and percentages on the denominator.
Total percent in the pie chart adds to 100%, which equals 1200 students. Then, 21% will represent
We solve the value of x by cross-multiplying the equation above.
Therefore, 252 students will enroll for a radiologic program.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
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+5)
Area of the rectangle, A= Length*width=(w+5)*w
A=w(w+5)
Thus, the area of the rectangular room is w(w+5).
Correct Answer is B

Correct Answer is B
Explanation
Before finding the greatest number from the data set, the numbers need to be in fraction form.
-0.5=-5/10
-1.5=-15/10
The set of numbers becomes -2/3, -5/10, -15/10, -4/9
Now the least common denominator for 3, 10, and 9 is 90, which will be used to multiplied by the given fractions as follows:
-2/3*90=-60
-5/10*90=-45
-15/10*90=-135
-4/9*90=-40
From the above evaluations, the resulting numbers arranged from the smallest to the largest is -135, -60, -45, -40. Thus, the greatest number from the data set is -40, with a corresponding fraction of -4/9.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
To find the greatest number from the given options, convert the decimal numbers into fractions.
6.98 becomes 698/100
9.2 becomes 92/10
The least common denominator for the denominators of 7, 100 and 10 is 700. Now we can multiply each fraction with 700 as follows:
3/7*700=300
698/100*700=4886
10/7*700=1000
92/10*700=6440
In order from the smallest to largest, we organize the number set as follows:
3/7, 10/7, 6.98, 9.2.
Thus, 9.2 is the greatest of all.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
