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?

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.

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.

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

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

we need to form a mathematical expression from the given word problem.

Let the number be x.

Twice a number=2x

Five less than twice a number=2x-5

So the mathematical express from the word problem is 2x-5

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.

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.

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.

in the given problem, we use the calculator to find 1.3*0.47=0.611

We need to find how many mL are in 2.5 teaspoons. We need to use dimensional analysis to solve this problem as follows.

Converting between teaspoon and mL uses the following conversions:

Or

We want to end up with mL, we utilize the second conversion and set up the following equation.

Thus, 2.5 teaspoons can hold 12.325 mL.
