The graph below represents the amount of rainfall in a particular state by month. Which of the following is the total rainfall for the months May, June, and July?

 

: a ratio can be thought of a fraction of the form a/b, where b is not equal to zero. In ratio form, to means per.

Now, the class has 26 girls and 22 boys. Thus, the ratio of girls to boys becomes:

The fraction above reduces into

In ratio form, girls: boys=13:11

Thus, the ratio of girls to boys in a class of 48 students is 13 to 11.

: the question requires we find the cost of four syringes.

If we let x be the cost of four 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 of the equation by 55

Thus, the cost of 4 syringes is $48.

We usea calculator to find the product of

1.6*0.93=1.488

Correlation of two variables falls into:

Positive correlation: an increase in one variable causes another variable to increase

Negative correlation: an increase in one variable causes another one to decrease

No correlation: a change in one variable does not cause any response in another variable.

From the given choices

Option a is no correlation

Option b is a negative correlation

Option c is a negative correlation

Option d is a positive correlation

Thus, the correct statement is a.

We know that 1 L =1000 mL, which we use to convert between the two units. The conversion fractions of interconverting are:

And

Since we want to end up with millimeters, the second conversion is used in converting L to mL as:

Thus, 3.2 L is equivalent to 3200 mL.

We convert the given word problem into a mathematical expression.

Let the number be x.

Thrice a number = 3x

Twelve less than thrice a number = 3x-12

Thus, the required mathematical expression is 3x-12

An independent variable is a variable that when changed result in a change to other variables under investigation. From the given scenario, if the stock of the company increases, then the production, sales, and investment increase. Therefore, stock is the independent variable while other variables are dependent.

: 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 3

Add 2 to both sides to eliminate it from the left-hand side of the equation

x-2+2=4+2

x = 6

Thus, the value of x is 6.

The net income is the salary of the teacher gets after deducting total taxes.

Weekly net income=weekly gross income-total tax

Total tax=federal income tax+state income tax+Social Security tax

Total tax=$(72.00+35.00+65.00)

Total tax=$172.00

Weekly net income=$(730.00-172.00)=$558.00

The net income the teacher gets in 4 weeks is what she gets in one week multiplied by 4

The teacher will earn a net income of $2,232.00 in 4 weeks after taxes are deducted.

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 two times width. Mathematically, this means

Length=2*width=2*x=2x

Now, the length is 6 less than 2 times width of the rectangle. Thus, the length of rectangle in terms of width becomes:

Length =2x-6

Thus, the length of the rectangle is 2x-6.
