2.50*0.25

Simplify the expression above. Which of the following is correct?

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 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 change L to mL we use the following options of interconversions:

Or

Since we are needed to change L to mL, use the second option.

Thus, a bucket can hold 3000 mL which is equal to 3 L.

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.

the question requires we find the cost of two syringes.

If we let x be the cost of two syringes, then we set up a proportion equation with cost as numerator and number of syringes as denominator. The proportion equation becomes

Cross-multiply to solve for x

Rearranging the above

Divide both sides by 35

The cost of 2 syringes is $32.

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.

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.

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%.

To solve this equation, we use a calculator and find the product as:

2.50*0.25=0.625

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.
