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.)

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.

we are asked to find the number of gallons a full tank can hold. A full tank is equivalent to 1.

Convert the mixed fraction into proper fraction as follows

If we let x be the number of gallons in full tank, and setting up the proportion equation with the number of gallons on the numerator and fraction of tank on denominator as follows.

Cross-multiply to find the value of x.

Converting 189/10 to a mixed fraction is 18 9/10. Thus, when the tank is full, it holds 18 9/10 gallons of water.

To find the required number of cups milk needed, we set a proportion equation with number of cups be numerator and cups of milk as denominator.

Let x be the number of cups of milk needed, then

The numbers of cups of milk required is 273/25, which when converted to mixed fraction becomes 10 23/25.

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.

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

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

John’s age=k

John’s uncle’s age, u = 5k-12.

Thus, the relationship between Japheth’s uncle’s age to that of Japheth is u=5k-12.

To determine the correct coordinates of the point shown on the graph, follow these steps:

1. Identify the x-coordinate: Count the number of units the point is to the right or left of the y-axis. The point is at 5 on the x-axis.
2. Identify the y-coordinate: Count the number of units the point is above or below the x-axis. The point is at -8 on the y-axis.
3. The correct coordinates are (5, -8).

Looking at the answer choices:

• A. (5, -8) → Correct
• B. (-5, 8) → Incorrect
• C. (-8, 5) → Incorrect
• D. (8, -5) → Incorrect

Final Answer:

A. (5, -8)

we convert the given value in yards to the cm by setting up the equation below.

2 yards is equal to 182.88 cm, which is approximately 180 cm.

A standard six-sided die has the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The even numbers are 2, 4, and 6.

Step 1: Probability of rolling an even number on the first roll

There are 3 even numbers out of 6 total numbers, so:

P (evenonsecondroll) = 3/6 = ½

Step 2: Probability of rolling an even number on the second roll

Since rolling the die is an independent event, the probability remains:

P (evenonsecondroll) = 3/6 = ½

Step 3: Multiply the probabilities

P (evenonfirstANDevenonsecond) = ½ × ½ = ¼

 To find the minimum length requires, we need to understand what slope in the question represents. The slope represents the ratio between the height to the length. Let x be the minimum length of the ramp. Then,

Now, we find the value of x by cross-products as follows

Thus, the minimum length required to provide access is 60 feet.
