Five less than twice a number

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

We are told to find the area of the pizza given its diameter. The pizza is in circular form, and its area is found as:

However, we are not given r, which is the radius of the circle. But we can find it from the given diameter as

Substituting r=8 in the equation of the area of a circle

Thus, the area of the pizza is 64  in2.

NOTE:  (Pi) remains as a symbol because values of Pi can vary from 22/7 to 3.1415 to 3.14 and so forth.

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%.

we are asked to find the largest value from the options given. To solve this problem, we need to convert all the given values into fraction. Then find the least common denominator for all fractions, which we will use to multiply each fraction and make a comparison.

34÷96=

3/8=3/8

0.372=372/1000

37%=37/100

Now, we need to find the least common denominator of 48, 8, 1000, and 100, which is 6000. We multiply each fraction by 6000 as follows:

17/48*6000=2125

3/8*6000=2250

372/1000*6000=2232

37/100*6000=2220

From the above calculations, arranging the fraction from the largest to the smallest in order is: 3/8, 372/1000,37/100, and 17/48.  Thus, the greatest value is 3/8.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The first three months of the year are January, February, and March. We need to find the total rainfall for these three months from the provided graph.

In the month of January, rainfall is between o and 1, which is halfway. Therefore, rainfall in January is 0.5 inches

On February, rainfall was 1 inch and on March the rainfall was 2 inches. Thus,

Total rainfall = 0.5 inches + 1 inches + 2 inches = 3.5 inches

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

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
