If x represents the width of a rectangle and length is four less than three times the width, which of the following expressions represents the length of the rectangle in terms of x?
4-3x
3-4x
4x-3
3x-4
Correct Answer : D
To form an equation from the word problem, first break the given statement into smaller statements.
First, we are given the width of the rectangle as x. We are told, the length is three times width. Mathematically, this means
Length=3*width=3*x=3x
Again, the length is 4 less than 3 times width of the rectangle. Thus, the length of rectangle in terms of width becomes:
Length =3x-4
This is the required equation.

Explanation
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.

Correct Answer is C
Explanation
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.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
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.

Correct Answer is C
Explanation
to find the average time the athlete runs in 1 mile, find total time divided by total distance covered.
Total distance=4+4=8 miles
Total time=28+32 =60 minutes
From the above, the athlete runs 8 miles in 60 minutes, so the athlete will take how minutes to cover 1 mile.

So, the athlete covers 1 mile in 7.5 minutes.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
In order to solve for the value of x, we use the order of operations as follows:
The first step is to divide both sides by 4


Since 5 is subtracted, we add 5 to both sides to eliminate it from the left-hand side of the equation


Thus, the value of x is 7.
Correct Answer is B

We asked to convert kg to pounds. There are two ways of converting between kg and pounds

And

Since we are asked to find pounds, we use the second option for kg to cancel during conversion as follows:

Thus, 50 kg is equal to 110 lb.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
In this problem, we assume the truck carries a whole cargo. Thus, total weight is 516 lb divided by 1/3. Thus,

We change the division sign to product and multiply 516 by reciprocal of 1/3. Then,

The weight of the cargo will be 1548 lbs.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
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.
