A person weighed themselves at 176 lb. Four months later they weighed themselves at 186 lb. Which of the following is the percent of weight the person gained over 4 months? (Round to the nearest percent.)

The scientist found that as water temperature increases, the fish population decreases. This means that the two variables move in opposite directions—when one increases, the other decreases.

This type of relationship is called a negative correlation.

We are asked to make z the subject of the formula.

First, we subtract y/x from both sides of the equation

Thus, the formula for finding the value of z is  .

Amount of salary will vary if the other three variables change. Therefore, salary is a dependent variable.

The slope represents the ratio of rise to run. Let p be the minimum length of the ramp, we can set a ratio equation as follows. Then,

The minimum length of the ramp needed is 18 feet to access to a door that is 1.5 feet above the sidewalk.

notice that the question compares the cup of flour and the cup of milk. We can therefore set up our ratios as cup of floorcup of milk. If we let the x be the number of cups of milk needed, then

As a mixed fraction, 70/3 becomes 23 1/3, which represents the number of cups of milk needed to make a big batch of 5 cups.

we are tasked to find the number of cups of flour that will be used to make 90 cookies.

This is a proportion equation, and letting x be the number of cups of flour we set the equation as follows:

Solve the value of x by cross-products

Next, we convert the mixed fraction into improper fraction in order to carry out multiplication

The baker needs 15.75 cups of flour to make 120 cookies.  15.75 in mixed fraction is  

percentages are fractions with denominator equal to 100. Then, in decimal form:

The decimal form of 67.9% is 0.679.

By inspection, we find the corresponding values of the given denominations in the following manner.

The sides of a right-angled triangle are determined by the Pythagoras theorem. If we let the unknown side to x as in the figure below, then theory is applied as follows.  

The value of x is found as:

The value of the unknown leg side of a triangle is about 9.8 feet.

To find the area of the largest circle that can fit entirely inside a rectangle measuring 8 cm by 10 cm, follow these steps:

Step 1: Determine the largest possible circle

• The largest circle that can fit inside the rectangle will have a diameter equal to the smaller side of the rectangle.
• The rectangle has dimensions 8 cm × 10 cm, so the largest possible diameter is 8 cm (since the circle must fit within the rectangle).

Step 2: Find the radius

The radius r is half of the diameter:

r=8/2=4cm

Step 3: Calculate the area of the circle

The area of a circle is given by the formula:

A=πr2 =16πcm2
