20%
13%
11%
9%
Correct Answer : C
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.

Using the calculator,
Multiplying the square root above with 10 becomes
The approximate value is 44.7.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
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.

Explanation
We are asked to find the number of cups of flour that will be used to make 90 cookies.
Letting x be the number of cups of flour and setting the proportion equation with number of cookies on numerator and number of cups of flour on the denominator. We have
Solve the value of x by cross-multiplying
We convert the mixed fraction into improper fraction in order to carry out multiplication
\(x =\ \frac{9}{4}\ cups\ *\ 90\ cookies\ *\ \frac{1}{36}\ cookies\)
The number of cups of flour needed to make 90 cookies is 5.625 cups, which is equal to 5 5/8 cups(Choice B).

Explanation
We need to find the price changes in each day of the week in order to find the price of the stock on Thursday.
Monday’s price was $50.33
Tuesday’s price went up by $2.35 from Monday’s price. The price was $(50.33+2.35)=$52.68
Wednesday’s price decreased by $1.07 from Tuesday’s price, and so the price of the stock was $(52.68-1.07)=$51.61
Thursday’s price increased by $0.75 from Wednesday’s price, which was $(51.61+0.75)=$52.36
Therefore, the price of the stock on Thursday was $52.36.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
The best way to display the frequency of each day of the week when students get up after 8 a.m. is by using a bar graph. Bar graphs are well-suited for representing categorical data, where each day of the week is a separate category, and the height of each bar corresponds to the count or frequency of students waking up late on that specific day.
Note: Histograms, on the other hand, are more appropriate for visualizing continuous or numerical data and are not ideal for categorical data like days of the week.Histograms are useful for understanding the distribution of data, identifying patterns, and assessing the shape of the data distribution, such as whether it's normally distributed, skewed, or has multiple modes.
As you can see below, the Histogram is used to depict a pattern/continuous/rangedata. While a bar graph does just fine even with discrete data.
