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%.

In this problem, if we change the brand of laptop, tax rate, and memory size, the price of the laptop changes. Thus, the cost of the laptop is the dependent variable.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
To find the amount of vanilla in mL, use dimensional analysis of the units of measurements.
Two ways to convert between teaspoon and mL are:


Since we are required to find the amount in mL, we use a cionverstioon that will result in mL. Inspecting the above options, we use the second option and set up an equation in way the unwanted units cancel out and leave the wanted unit we are looking for. Then,

Thus, a recipe of 3 teaspoons equals 14.79 mL.

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 D
Explanation
We use the given slope to find the minimum length of the ramp. In this case, slope is the ratio of height to length of the lamp. Thus,

If we let x be the minimum length of the ramp. Then,

Substituting the value of slope into the above equation results in,

Solve for value of x by cross-products

X = 18 Feet
Thus, the minimum length of the ramp needed to provide access to a door that is 1.5Â high is 18Â feet.
Correct Answer is B
Explanation
We use the calculator to find the positive square root of 19, which is then multiplied by 3.
Using the calculator, 
Multiplying the square root above with 3 becomes

The approximate value of 3 times the square root of 19 is 13.1.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
The mean of a data set is the sum of all scores divided by the number of tests.
Total test scores = 83+86+76+88+97 = 430
Number of tests = 5
Mean test score = 430/5 = 86
The mean test score is 86.
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 C

To find the circumference of a circular garden, we can use the formula:
C=π×d
Where:
- C = Circumference
- π = 3.14 (as given)
- d = Diameter
Step 1: Substitute the given values into the formula
The diameter d is 14 metres, so:
C=3.14×14
Step 2: Perform the multiplication
C=43.96 metres
Final Answer:
The circumference of the garden is 43.96 metres.
The correct answer is B. 43.96 metres.
