As a person cycling increases speed, the rate of calories burned, distance traveled, and energy expended also increase. Which of the following is the independent variable?

To find the least common denominator (LCD) of the fractions 1/2, 2/3, and 4/5, follow these steps:

Step 1: Identify the denominators

The denominators are 2, 3, and 5.

Step 2: Find the least common multiple (LCM)

The LCM of 2, 3, and 5 is the smallest number that all three denominators divide into evenly.

• Prime factorization:
  • 2=2
  • 3=3
  • 5=5

Since 2, 3, and 5 are all prime numbers, their LCM is:

2×3×5=30

To solve this equation, we use a calculator and find the product as:

2.50*0.25=0.625

to convert fraction to percent, we multiply the fraction with 100. Therefore, the percent equivalent of 5/8 is

Thus, 5/8 is equal to 62.5%.

The length of the unknown side of the rectangle can be found by using the Pythagoras theorem. We label the triangle from the given data as shown below

Let the unknown length be x.

Applying the Pythagoras theorem, the value of x is found as:

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

The unknown length of the triangle is approximately 8.9 feet.

: we are to find the selling price of the sweater after subtracting the mark off price.

Mark off value=mark off rate*original price

Mark of value=25%*$87

We convert 25% into a fraction, which become 25/100=0.25. Then

Mark of value=0.25*$87=$21.75

The selling price of the sweater will be the original price less the mark off value. Then,

Thus, the approximate selling price of the sweater is $65.

an independent variable is one that when changed, causes the other variable(s) to change. In our case, calories burned, distance traveled, energy used increase when cycling speed increases.

Therefore, speed is the independent variable while other variables are dependent.

we use given information to find how much ammonia is need to make the specified solution.

We are told, one gallon of cleaning solution requires 6 oz of ammonia. In other words, we can express this as:

1 gallon of solution6 oz of ammonia

Or

6 oz of ammonia1 gallon of solution

Since we are needed to find how much ammonia is needed, we use the second option to find how much ammonia is required by 120 gallons of solution.

From the above equation, gallon of solution will cancel, and oz of ammonia is left.

Therefore, the solution will require 720 oz of ammonia.

we are needed to find the amount Lana is left with after spending and investing the rest using the given information.

Amount Lana spends = 80% of $60= 80/100 *60 = $48

Amount left to invest = $(60-48) = $12

Lana is left with $12, which she invests and earns a profit of 80%.

Profit earned = 80% of $12 = 80/100 * 12= $9.20

So, Lana will have $12 + $9.20 = $21.60

When dealing with percent problems, the following is utilized to find the unknown variable.

• Is means equals
• Of means multiply
• What means unknown (variable)

From the problem above, we are looking for the amount of gratuity the couple can leave.

Let t be the amount of gratuity. Translating into an equation, we have

The gratuity is 15% of the total bill, which becomes

Here, of means multiply and we also convert percent into decimal before multiplying.

So, the value of t=5.76

Thus, a couple will leave a gratuity of $5.76, which is about $6.00.

The initial step is to establish the relationship between area of a circle and the radius. The area of the circle is given by the formula

Now, substituting the 49 π in2 in place of A in the equation above becomes:

We want to find r, therefore, we rearrange the equation as

Divide both sides by

Take square root both sides of the equation

The radius of the circle is 7 in, and the circumference of the circle is determined as follows

Substituting the value of r=7 becomes

Thus, the circumference of a circle whose area is 49  in2 is 14
