A person weighed themselves at 160 lb. Three months later they weighed themselves at 130 lb. Which of the following is the percent of weight the person lost over 3 months? (Round to the nearest percent.)

The initial step is to convert the decimal options to fractions. Then, we find the LCM of the denominators of all fractions, which will be used to compare the values of the given options.

-0. becomes -9/10

-1.7 becomes -17/10

Then, the resulting denominators are 9, 10, and 63. Their LCM of 630 is used to multiply each fraction.

-2/9*630=-140

-9/10*630=-567

-17/10*630=-1071

-4/7*630=-360

From the calculations above, -140 is the greatest value of all the values. Thus, -2/9 is the greatest number.

 the percentage change in weight is found by calculating change in weight over original multiplied by 100%.

First, find the change in weight over the 3 months

Change in weight lost= 1860-130=30 lb

Thus

The percent change in weight is 19% to the nearest whole number.

A histogram depicts the frequency of a one variable over the other while a bar graph is used to compare two variables with vertical axis representing the heights. Therefore, a histogram will be used to represent percent of the number of students reading after 9.

We follow the order of operations to solve the given expression.

First, we start with the numerator and solve it as follows

[3(2+6*4)]

We start with multiplication in inner brackets, 6*4=24. The expression becomes

[3(2+24)]

Then, we conduct the addition of 2+24=26. Then, the expression becomes

[3(26)]=3*26=78

Now, we solve for denominator, which is 26/2=13.

Thus, the expression is reduced into

\(\frac{[3(2+6\ast4)]}{(26\div2)}=\frac{78}{13}=6\)

The expression reduces into 6.

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

First, add 2 to both sides of equation

Add 10 to both sides of the equation

Next, we apply the absolute rule:

If u=a, a>0, then u=a or u=-a

In this case a=5, which is greater 0.

The first condition becomes

Solving for x

The second condition becomes

Solving for x

Then, the value of x is -4/3 or 2.

The length of the door could be appropriately measured in meters. Kilometers are used to measure long distances while millimeters could be used to measure the length of very small objects. However, liters are used to measure the volume of liquids or objects.

 we need to find the portion of pizza shared by two other friends.

We know that a whole pizza represents 1 and one friend eats half of it. So, the remaining amount left to other two friends is

Remaining fraction of the pizza=1-1/2=1/2

Now, the two friends share ½ amongst themselves equally. Then, each friend gets

The two friends each gets 1/4 of the pizza.

To find the amount of vanilla in mL, we set up an equation in a way the unwanted units cancel out and leave the wanted unit we are looking for. Then,

Thus, a recipe of 6 teaspoons equals 29.58 mL.

To determine the number of sophomore students, follow these steps:

1. Identify the total number of students:

1,276

1. Identify the percentage of sophomores:

29%

1. Calculate the number of sophomores:

(29%×1,276) = (29/100× 1,276) = 370.04

1. Round to the nearest whole number:

370

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

Then, we apply the Pythagoras theorem to find the value of x as:

The value of the unknown length is approximately 17.7 feet.
