Five less than twice a number

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

The initial step is to convert the decimal numbers into fractions.

4.4 becomes 44/10

4.25 becomes 425/100

Thus, the set of fractions is 9/2, 44/10, 10/3, 425/100. The least common denominator for 2, 10, 3, and 100 is 300, which we use to compare each options given.

9/2*300=1350

44/10*300=1320

10/3*300=1000

425/100*300=1275

From the above, 1350 is the greatest value which corresponds to 9/2. Thus, 9/2 is the greatest value of all the choices given.

we follow the order operations to solve for the unknown value of x.

2(4x+3)=7x+5

Open the bracket on the LHS by multiplying each term by 2

(2*4x)+(2*3)=7x+5

8x+6=7x+5

Subtract 6 from both sides

8x+6-6=7x+5-6

8x=7x-1

Subtract 7x on both sides

8x-7x=7x-7x-1

X=-1

Thus, the value of unknown value of x is -1.

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.

scatter plots can of three types: positive, negative and no correlation. A positive correlation scatter plot shows that as one variable increase, the other variable increases. A positive correlation can be visually depicted below.

In a negative correlation, the change in one variable is inversely proportional to another variable. That is, as one variable increases, the other variable decreases as shown below.

The third type of scatter plot is a no-correlation scatter plot. In this type of plot, there is no defined relationship between one variable and another one as in the curve below.

If we look at the relationship between the time the student listens to music and his test score, it is evident that no relationship exists between the two variables. Thus, this is a type of no correlation scatter plot.

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.

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.

the median of a data set is the element that is found on the middle position. It is found by organizing the elements from the smallest to largest.

The data set above arranged from the smallest to largest is:

11, 12, 12, 12, 13, 14, 17, 17, 18, 22, 26

The number of elements is odd and the median is found in the (N+1)/2 th position. Here N=11, and the median falls in (11+1)/2=12/2=6 th position.

The element 14 falls in the 6th position, which is our median of the given data set.

In this scenario, we use the given scale in the charts to find the number of each coin and selected the right number of coins the student collected. The second options shows that the child collected 50 pennies, 45 nickels, 25 dimes, and 5 quarters.

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

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.
