A person weighed themselves at 180 lb. Three months later they weighed themselves at 160 lb. Which of the following is the percent of weight the person lost over 3 months? (Round to the nearest percent.)

We are asked to find the number of gallons full tank can hold. The fraction of full tank is 1.

First, we let x be the number of gallons in full tank. Then, set the proportion equation by setting the number of gallons on the numerator and fraction of tank on denominator as follows.

Convert the mixed fraction into proper fraction and cross-multiply to find the value of x.

Converting 42/5 to a mixed fraction is 8 2/5. Thus, when the tank is full, it holds 8 2/5 gallons of water.

We are asked to find the dependent variable from the given scenario. A dependent variable is one which varies with another variable. In this case, the cost of the pizza will change with the change in diameter of the pizza, number of toppings, and amount of cheese. In other words, the cost of the pizza depends on the three variables.

Therefore, cost is the dependent variable while the diameter of the pizza, number of toppings and amount of cheese are independent variables.

We need to find the are of the rectangle from the given case. Letting x represent the width of the rectangle. Then, we can find the area of the rectangle as follows.

Length of rectangle=(x+5)

Width of the rectangle= x

Area of the rectangle, A= Length*width=(x+5)*x

A=x(x+5)

Thus, the area of the rectangle is x(x+5).

We are asked to find the one of the lengths of a right-angled triangle, we use the Pythagoras theorem to find the unknown length.

First, we label the triangle as below and let the unknown length be x.

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

\(a^2+b^2=c^2\)

The value of the unknown length is approximately 8.9 feet.

To find the median, we arrange the following numbers in data set from the smallest to the largest as follows.

-3, -2, 0, 5, 10

From the above the data set, the median falls in the third position. Thus, 0 is the median for the given data set.

We are being asked to find the amount of milk needed. This is a proportion problem, which compares the amount of flour to that of milk. Letting x represent the amount of milk required, we set up the proportion with flour on the numerator and amount of milk in denominator as follows:

Change the mixed fraction of 1 1/5 into improper fraction as follows

The proportion equation becomes

Cross-multiply to solve for x

As an mixed fraction, 36/5 becomes 7 1/5. Therefore, 7 1/5 cups of milk are needed to make a big batch of 2 cups.

The question requires us to find the percentage change in weight of a person.

First, we need to find the change in weight over the 3 months

Change in weight= 180-160=20 lb

Percent change in weight is change of original weight *100. Thus

The percent change in weight is 11% to the nearest whole number.

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

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

[2(3+5*3)]

We start with multiplication in inner brackets, 5*3=15. The expression becomes

[2(3+15)]

Then, we conduct the addition of 3+15=18. Then, the expression yields

[2(18)]=2*18=36

Now, we solve for denominator, which is 12/2=6.

Thus, the expression is reduced into

The expression reduces into 6.

The probability of an event is determined by the relation

Finding the probability of drawing the red ball, we need to find the total number of balls in the bag.

Total number of balls in the bag=5+4+3=12 balls

The probability of drawing a red ball from the bag is 1/3.

A change in number of credit hours result in a change in the amount of access fees, amount of tuition, and availability of student loans. Thus, number of credit hours is the independent variable.
