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 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 1.5 high is 18 feet.

we find the value of x by applying the absolute conditions to the given equation.

First, add 2 to both sides of equation

The absolute conditions are:

If   , a>0, then u=a or u=-a

In this case a=10, which is greater 0.

The first condition becomes

Add 2 to both sides of the equation

Divide both sides by 4

The second condition becomes

Add 2 to both sides of the equation

Divide both sides by 4

Then, the value of x is 3 or -2.

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.

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.

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.

Here, we are required to find the unit of measuring mass. The SI unit of mass is kilogram but other derived units are grams, milligrams, microgram and more.

A kilogram is a large quantity for measuring heavier objects but grams can used to measure small and light objects such as the mass of the mobile phone. Therefore, gram is the appropriate unit for measuring weight of a mobile phone.

We need to find the radius of the circle in order to find circumference of the circle. If we let r to be radius of the circle, then

Substituting 169π in place of area

Dividing both sides by pi and taking square root on both sides yields

The radius of the circle from the given area is 13 in. and the circumference of the circle is given by the relation:

We are asked to determine Japheth’s uncle’s age relating to Japheth’s age.

First, express Japheth’s uncle’s age in terms of Japheth’s age as follows

Japheth’s age=k

Japheth’s uncle’s age, u = 3k-10.

Thus, the relationship between Japheth’s uncle’s age to that of Japheth is u=3k-10.

Based on the given scenario, the outcome of measuring the daily dollar rate is the decline in investment, stock prices, and forex exchange. The three outcomes are dependent variables while the dollar rate is the independent variable.

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.
