The graph below represents the amount of rainfall in a particular state by month. Which of the following is the total rainfall for the first 5 months of the year?

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

Let the unknown number be x.

Thrice a number is three times = 3x

Twelve less than thrice a number = 3x-12

Thus, the mathematical expression from the word problem is 3x-12

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 two conversions when asked to convert between kg and lb

And

We need kg equivalent of 220 lb, therefore we use option 1 and carry out the conversions as follows:

Thus, 100kg is equal to 220lb.

Based rainfall falling for the first 5 months, a bar graph will give a great display for the farmer to decide when start planting. The horizontal scale will represent months of the year and vertical scale will present the amount of rainfall falling.

In order for the teacher to better visualize the test performance for his class, he needs to present the mark distribution in chart form. A better chart visualizer is the histogram, which will show the frequency of marks against range of test scores. A bar graph will not be used because the rectangles need to touch one another.

In a bar graph, the rectangles do not touch each other. Therefore, it will not be a good chart visualizer.

To convert 514 to a percentage:

Step 1: Convert the mixed number to a decimal

514=5+14=5+0.25=5.255

Step 2: Convert to a percentage

Multiply by 100:

5.25×100=525%

Before finding the area of the pizza, we need to find the radius of the pizza.

Find radius of the pizza in terms of diameter

Next, find area of the pizza using the radius of 6 inches

Substituting r=6 in the equation of the area of a circle

Thus, the pizza has an area of 36 π in2.

The initial step is to convert the decimal numbers into fractions.

5.2 becomes 52/10

5.15 becomes 515/100

Next, find the least common denominator of 3, 10, and 100, which is 300. We use this value and multiply each fraction.

7/3*300=700

52/10*300=1560

13/3*300=1300

515/100*300=1545

From the above, 1560 is the greatest value which corresponds to 52/10. Thus, 5.2 is the greatest value of all the choices given.

In this problem, we need to find the amount of gratuity the couple will leave. The gratuity is 16% of the total bill. Before solving the problem, the following are terms and their meaning in percent problems:

• Is means equals
• Of means multiply
• What means unknown (variable)

If we let x be the amount of gratuity, then translating the given problem into a mathematical equation becomes:

Now we evaluate the above equation noting that of means multiply.

So, the value of x=9.376 and to the nearest cent, x=9.38

There, a couple will leave a gratuity of $9.38.

A whole pizza represents 1, and two friends eat ¼ of the pizza. The remaining fraction of pizza is:

Remaining amount = 

Thus, 3/4 of pizza is left for three friends to share equally.

Now, the other three friends will each get

So, the other three friends will each get 1/4 of the pizza.
