An athlete runs 7 miles in 45 minutes and then changes their pace to run the next 3 miles in 15 minutes. Overall, what is the average time in minutes it takes the athlete to run 1 mile?
9.5 minutes
9 minutes
6 minutes
10minutes
Correct Answer : C
to find the average time the athlete runs in 1 mile; we find total distance and total time the athlete takes in running.
Total distance run by athlete=7+3=10 miles
Total time=45+15 =60 minutes
The athlete runs 10 miles in 60 minutes. For the athlete to cover 1 mile, he will run for a time less than 60 minutes. Thus, in 1 mile, the athlete takes:

So, in 6 minutes, the athlete covers 1 mile.

Explanation
The first five months of the year are January, February, March, April, and May. We use to graph to find the amount of rainfall in each month as follows:
In the month of January, rainfall was between o and 1, which is halfway. Therefore, rainfall in January is 0.5 inches
On February, rainfall was 1 inch and on March the rainfall was 2 inches.
On April, the rainfall amount was 4 inches while on month of May, the rainfall was about 3.5 inches. Therefore, total rainfall in the first 5 months was:
Total rainfall=0.5 inches+1 inches+ 2 inches+4 inches + 3.5 inches =11 inches
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
To form an equation from the word problem, first break the given statement into smaller statements.
First, we are given the width of the rectangle as x. We are told, the length is three times width. Mathematically, this means
Length=3*width=3*x=3x
Again, the length is 4 less than 3 times width of the rectangle. Thus, the length of rectangle in terms of width becomes:
Length =3x-4
This is the required equation.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
We solve for the value of x by following the order of operations
3(x-2)=15
Divide both sides of the equation by 3


Add 2 to both sides of the equation


Thus, the value of x is 8.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
In the given problem, we use the calculator to evaluate the product 1.9 * 0.75 = 1.425
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
A ratio is of the form a : b but can also be converted to a fraction of the form a/b, where b is not equal to zero. Besides, to in ration means per in fraction form.
In the class of 40 students, 22 are girls and 18 are boys. Thus, the ratio of girls to boys becomes:
 
The above fraction can be reduced further since 2 is a common factor in both 22 and 18. Thus

Â
In ratio form, girls: boys=11:9
Thus, the ratio of girls to boys in a class of 40 students is 11 to 9.
Correct Answer is C

Correlation of two variables falls into:
Positive correlation: an increase in one variable causes another variable to increase
Negative correlation: an increase in one variable causes another one to decrease
No correlation: a change in one variable does not cause any response in another variable.
From the given choices
Option a is no correlation
Option b is a no correlation
Option c is a negative correlation
Option d is a positive correlation
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
Let x be the original price of the recliner.
Step 1: Apply the 30% discount
The recliner is on sale for 30% less than the original price:
SalePrice=x−0.3x=0.7x
Step 2: Apply the 25% coupon discount
The consumer gets an additional 25% off the sale price:
FinalPrice=0.7x−0.25(0.7x) = 0.525x
Step 3: Solve for x
The consumer paid $237, so:
0.525x=237
​ x≈451.43x
Rounding to the nearest dollar, the original price is $451.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
Scatter plots can depict three correlations: positive, negative and no correlation. A positive correlation scatter plot reveals that as one variable increases, the other variable also increases as shown below

Correct Answer is D
Explanation
We use the order of operation to solve for the unknown value of x.
3(3x+3)=8x+5
Multiply 3 with each number in the brackets
(3*3x)+(3*3)=8x+5
9x+9=8x+5
Subtract 9 from both sides
9x+9-9=8x+5-9
9x=8x-4
Subtract 8x on both sides
9x-8x=8x-8x-4
x=-4
Thus, the unknown value of x is -4.
