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 babies' measured weights change over time and depend on the time interval after birth. Since weight is the outcome being measured, it is the dependent variable in the study.

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:

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.

 we are to find the selling price of the sweater from the marked price and the discount. The marked price is given as

Discount=mark off rate*original price

Discount=15%*$78

Convert 15% into a fraction, which become 15/100=0.15. Then

Discount=0.15*$78=$11.70

The selling price of the sweater will be the original price less the discount or mark off value. Then,

Thus, the approximate selling price of the sweater is $66.

to find the average time the athlete runs in 1 mile, find total time divided by total distance covered in the two runs.

Total distance=5+3=8 miles

Total time=25+15=40 minutes

We now know that the athlete runs 8 miles in 40 minutes, so the time the athlete will run in 1 mile will be:  

In 5 minutes, the athlete runs 1 mile.

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

And

Since we are to find pounds, we use the second option for kg to cancel

The pound equivalent of 45 kg is 99 lb.

We need to find how many mL are in 5.5 teaspoons. We are told that 1 teaspoon is about 4.93 mL, which we interpret as follows:

Or

Since we are looking for mL, we use the second option.

Thus, 5.5 teaspoons can hold approximately 27 mL.

we are asked to find the largest value from the options given. To solve this problem, we need to convert all the given values into fraction. Then find the least common denominator for all fractions, which we will use to multiply each fraction and make a comparison.

43÷55=43/55

5/7

0.729=729/1000

73%=73/100

Now, we need to find the least common denominator of 55, 7, 1000, and 100, which is 77000. We multiply each fraction by 77000 as follows:

43/55*77000=60200

5/7*77000=55000

729/1000*77000=56133

73/100*77000=56210

From the calculated values, it can be noted that 43/55 is the greatest value among the given options.

From the given estimations, we can find the exact sum after adding the given numbers and see the trend the student utilizes to find their estimates. The actual sum is as follows

26+180=206

115+391=506

497+2024=2521

From the above evaluation, the students round the exact sum to the nearest tens. So, in the problem we need to approximate 545+7501.

545+7501=8046

The exact sum is 8046 and the approximate value after rounding to the nearest tens is 8050.

When solving percent problems, the following words and their meaning becomes handy.

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

If we let x represent the amount of tip the couple want to leave behind, then

So, the couple will leave a tip of $2.84, which is about $3.00
