As the number of credit hours a student takes in a semester increases, the amount of tuition, the amount of access fees, and the number of student loans available also increase. Which of the following is the independent variable?

To find the greatest number from the given options, we first convert the decimal numbers into fractions.

-0.7 becomes 7/10

-1.3 becomes 13/10

Then, we find the LCM for the denominators of the given fractions. The LCM of 3 and 10 is 30. Now we can multiply each fraction with the LCM.

-2/3*30=-20

-7/10*30=-70

-13/10*30=-39

-4/3*30=-40

Comparing the obtained values from above, -20 is the greatest followed by -39, -40, -70 in that order. The fraction -2/3 gave a value of -20, which was the greatest value. Thus, -2/3 is the greatest value from the given option.

We use the relation 1 L=1000 mL to convert 0.5 L to mL as follows.

Thus, 0.5 L is 500 mL.

In this problem, we need to compare the number of dimes to quarters.

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

Number of quarters in the bottle = 2n

Number of nickels in the bottle = 4n

Number of dimes in the bottle =5(4n)=20n

Now relating dimes to quarters, we have

Thus, there are 10 times as many dimes as quarters in the box.

We are asked to convert kg to pounds using the given relation. Letting x to represent the lb we are looking for.

Nest, we set the proportion with kg in the numerator and lb on the denominator as follows.

We find the value of x by cross-multiplication

The value of x is 110 lb.

We use the calculator to determine the positive square root of 20, which is then multiplied by 20.

Using the calculator,

Multiplying the square root above with 10 becomes

The approximate value is 44.7.

The slope represent the ratio between the vertical height to the horizontal length. Let x be the minimum length of the ramp, we can set a proportion with height on the numerator and length on denominator. Then,

Cross-multiply to find the value of x

Thus, the minimum length of the ramp needed is 30 feet to access to a door that is 2.5 feet above the sidewalk.

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 need to find the value of x from the given equation. First, we move the value of 10 to the right-hand side of the equation.

Add 10 to both sides of the equation

Next, we apply the absolute rule:

,   a>0, then u=a or u=-a

In this case a=12, which is greater 0. Then, the first condition becomes

Solving for x

The second condition becomes

Solving for x

Then, the value of x is -1 or 2.

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).

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.
