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.)

We are tasked to find the stock price on Thursday from the given information. Here, we need to find the stock of each day from the price increase or decrease. If the price increases, we add to the previous day’s price and subtract if the price decreases.

Monday’s stock price=$65.50

Tuesday’s stock price is Monday’s plus $1.50=65.50+1.50=$67.00

Wednesday’s stock price went down by $2.57 from Tuesday’s=67.00-2.57=$64.43

Thursday’s stock price went up by $2.25 from Wednesday’s =64.43+2.25=$66.68

From the above evaluation, the stock price on Thursday was $66.68

We are asked to find the number of cups of flour that will be used to make 90 cookies.

First, we convert 2 ¼ into improper fraction as:

Letting x to be the number of cups of flour, we set up a proportion equation with number of cookies on numerator and number of cups of flour on the denominator becomes:

Solve the value of x by cross-products

Dividing both sides by 60, the above equation result to

Thus, the number of cups of flour needed to make 90 cookies is 81/16 cups, which is equal to 5 1/16 cups.

The polling organization has an average ratio of 2 answered calls for every 15 attempted calls. To find the expected number of answered calls for 150 attempted calls, we can set up a proportion based on this ratio.

Step 1: Set up the proportion

The ratio of answered calls to attempted calls is:

=

Where x is the number of expected answered calls for 150 attempted calls.

Step 2: Solve for x

Cross-multiply to solve for x:

2×150=15×x

300=15x

X =

x = 20

Conclusion:

The expected number of answered calls for 150 attempted calls is 20 calls.

The correct answer is C. 20 calls.

In this task, we use the relation from the given scenario to compare the number of dimes to quarters.

If we let p be number of pennies in the bottle. Then,

Number of quarters in the bottle = 2p

Number of nickels in the bottle = 3p

Number of dimes in the bottle =6(3p)=18p

Now relating dimes to quarters, we have

Thus, there are 9 times as many dimes as quarters in the box.

Here we utilize the dimensional analysis of units of measurement of length to convert yards to cm as follows

9 yards is equal to 822.96 cm, which is about 823 cm.

Using a calculator to evaluate 15÷27 results in 0.5555555556. To two decimal places, the answer becomes 0.56.

Thus, 0.56 is the decimal equivalent of 15/27.

The volume V of a rectangular box can be calculated using the formula:

V=length×width×height

Given:

• Length = 8 metres
• Width = 5 metres
• Height = 3 metres

Now, calculate the volume:

V=8 m×5 m×3 m=120 m3

Thus, the volume of the box is 120 cubic metres.

The correct answer is B. 120 m³.

To find the pounds equivalent of the kg given, we use the two options as given below.

OR

Since we want to remain with pounds, we use the second option and set up the equation below.

Thus, 65 kg is equal to 143 lb.

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.

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.
