The amount of salary a technician takes home in a month increases with sales of stocks, the amount of charge fees, and the number of working hours. Which of the following is the dependent variable?

This problem asks us to compare the number of dimes to nickels.

If we let p be number of pennies in the bottle. Then,

Number of quarters in the bottle = 4p

Number of nickels in the bottle = 2p

Number of dimes in the bottle =7(2p)=14p

To find the number of dimes the child has than nickels, we use the ratio:

\(\frac{Dimes}{nickels} =\frac {14p}{2p}\ =\ 7\)

Thus, there are 7times as many dimes as nickels in the box.

Choice A: 2 packs of Orange and 2 packs of Cream Soda

• Total drinks: 48 + 24 = 72 drinks
• Total cost: (2 * $15) + (2 * $5) = $30 + $10 = $40
• This choice not only meets the requirement of at least 60 drinks but also offers the best value in terms of cost per drink, making it the most cost-effective option.

Choice B: 3 packs of Root Beer

• Total drinks: 3 * 24 = 72 drinks
• Total cost: 3 * $14 = $42
• While this choice meets the requirement of at least 60 drinks, it's not the most cost-effective, as it costs $42for 72 drinks.

Choice C: 1 pack of Orange, 2 packs of Root Beer, and 1 pack of Cream Soda

• Total drinks: 24 + 48 + 12 = 84 drinks
• Total cost: $9 + (2 * $14) + $5 = $9 + $28 + $5 = $42
• This choice provides more than 60 drinks, but it's not the most cost-effective due to its higher cost of $42, same as choice B.

Choice D: 4 packs of Cream Soda

• Total drinks: 4 * 12 = 48 drinks
• Total cost: 4 * $5 = $20
• While this choice is the most cost effective, it falls short of providing the desired number of drinks.

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  

In this case, we use a calculator to estimate the positive square root of 42.

Then, multiplying the square root above with 6 becomes

Then, the approximate value of 6 time the positive square root of 42 is 38.9.

9/20 is the same as 9 divided by 20, which is evaluated 9÷20. The value becomes 0.45.

Thus, 9/20 is equal to 0.45.

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

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 set the conversion equation to find the unknown unit. Arrange the equation such that the unwanted units cancel out and the wanted unit remains.

The value 365.76 cm is close to 365 cm. Therefore, 4 yards is approximately 365 cm.

we are asked to find the percent change in weight gain of a person.

First, we need to find the change in weight gained over the 4 months

Change in weight= 186-176=10 lb

The percent change is expressed as change in weight over original weight *100. Then

The percent change in weight is 6% to the nearest whole number.

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
