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.)

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%.

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.

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.

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.

Percentages are fractions with denominator equal to 100. To convert a percent to decimal form, divide the value by 100.

The decimal form of 98.2% is 0.982.

Let the unknown length of the x. The resulting triangle is shown below.

We use the Pythagoras theorem as follows to find the unknown value of x as:

Thus, the value of unknown side of the triangle is 21.8 feet.

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.

A histogram is used to visualize the frequency of a one variable over the other while a line graph is used to compare two variables.

A scatter plot used to show the correlation between two variables.

A pie chart is used to show the proportion of the given information in circle, with each section of a circle representing a given fraction of a whole.

From the given information, a pie chart is an appropriate tool show the frequency of the students choosing their favorite color.

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.

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.
