For a school's annual budget, the total amount of money spent on supplies (s) and textbooks (t) cannot exceed $12,000. Which of the following inequalities represents this scenario?
s + t >= $12,000
s + t > $12,000
s + t < $12,000
s + t <= $12,000
Correct Answer : D
We can interpret ‘cannot exceed” as less than ‘<’. Therefore, in our inequality, the symbol < must be included. Now let’s convert the word problem into a mathematical inequality.
Money spent on supplies=s
Money spent on textbooks=t
Total money spent=money spent on supplies + money spent on textbooks
Total money spent = s+t
But the money spent cannot exceed $12,000. Then,
s+t < $12,000.
However the money spent can still be equal to $12000, as it has not exceeded it.
Therefore, the required inequality is s + t <= $12,000.

We need to perform a series of numerical dimensional analysis to find the number of bags sugar needed for 300 people.
We are told that 50 people need 4 cups of sugar. This can be interpretated as:

Or

Also, one bag of sugar contains 6 cups. This can also be presented as:

Or

We use the second option relating number of people and cups, and second option relating cups of sugar and bag of sugar to find for number of bags of sugar needed for 300 people.
Â

Therefore, 300 people will need 4 bags of sugar.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
In this problem, we take the triangle as a right-angled triangle and label it as follows:

From the Pythagoras theorem A2 + B2= C2, we can look for a combination of A and B that when the squares of A and B are summed give a square of 13. Â Mathematically,

But C=13 inches


If we take A=5 inches and B=12 inches, then



Next, we take A=2.5 inches, B=6 inches



Next, we take A=2.5 inches, B=4 inches

6.25+16=169
22.25≠169
Taking A=5 inches and B=8 inches



From the above computation, the combination of A=5 inches and B=12 inches give a triangle with a hypothenuse of 13 inches.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
Here we collect like terms together and solve for the unknown value of x.
7x-6=3x-26
Add 6 to both sides of the equation
7x-6+6=3x-26+6
7x=3x-20
Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation
7x-3x=-20
4x=-20
Divide both sides by 4
4x/-4=-20/4
x = -5
The value of x = -5

Explanation
We can interpret ‘cannot exceed” as less than ‘<’. Therefore, in our inequality, the symbol < must be included. Now let’s convert the word problem into a mathematical inequality.
Money spent on supplies=s
Money spent on textbooks=t
Total money spent=money spent on supplies + money spent on textbooks
Total money spent = s+t
But the money spent cannot exceed $12,000. Then,
s+t <$12,000.
However the money spent can still be equal to $12000, as it has not exceeded it.
Therefore, therequired inequality is s + t <= $12,000.

We need to find the length of the rectangle from the given area and width of the rectangle. Let L be length if the rectangle. Then,

Area of rectangle=Length*width
Substituting area=32 in2 and w=4 inches
32=L*4
32=4L
Divide both sides by 4
32/4=4L/4
8=L
The length of the rectangle is 8 inches.
Correct Answer is B
Explanation
The median temperature can be found by organizing the temperature values from the smallest to the largest value as follows:
98.6, 98.7, 99.0, 99.0,99.2, 99.3, 99.7, 100.0
(for an even set of numbers, Median = frac{(frac{n}{2})th observation + (frac{n}{2} + 1) th observation}{2})
From the data set above, there are 8temperature values. The median is the temperature value in the middle position, which falls between the(frac{n}{2} th)and((frac{n}{2} + 1) th) position. Here N=8and median is found as:
(frac{(frac{n}{2})th + (frac{n}{2} + 1) th}{2} = )(frac{(frac{8}{2})th + (frac{8}{2} + 1) th }{2} = 4.5th position)
The element in the 4.5th position is the average of the 4th and 5th element.
(frac{99.0 + 99.2}{2} = 99.1)
Thus 99.1 is the median temperature.
