Five less than twice a number

Which of the following translates the phrase above into a mathematical expression?

the question requires we find the cost of two syringes.

If we let x be the cost of two syringes, then we set up a proportion equation with cost as numerator and number of syringes as denominator. The proportion equation becomes

Cross-multiply to solve for x

Rearranging the above

Divide both sides by 35

The cost of 2 syringes is $32.

here we use the US customary system to convert between yards and feet. We use the conversion 1 yard =3 feet. Then, 6 yards to ft is found as

Thus, 6 yards is equal to 18 ft.

a ratio can be converted to a fraction of the form a/b, where b is not equal to zero. In ratio form, to means per.

From the given information, the class has 15 girls and 13 boys. Thus, the ratio of girls to boys becomes:

In ratio form, girls: boys=15:13

Thus, the ratio of girls to boys in a class of 28 students is 15 to 13.

To simplify the expression:

12+3×4−1+23

Step 1: Follow the order of operations (BODMAS)

Multiplication first:

3×4=12

23 = 2×2×2=8

Now the expression becomes:

12+12−1+8

Step 2: Perform addition and subtraction from left to right

• 12+12=24
• 24−1=23
• 23+8=31

The correct answer is 31.

Based on the above data, the horizontal axis will be tree type and vertical axis will represent the number of trees.

Based on these, a bar graph is appropriate to represent the number trees.

We use 1 L =1000 mL to convert between the two units. The conversion fractions of interconverting are:

And

Since we want to end up with millimeters, the second conversion is used in converting L to mL as:

Thus, 0.5 L is equivalent to 500 mL.

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%.

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 negative correlation

Option c is a negative correlation

Option d is a positive correlation

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.

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.
