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?

 

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

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

3.45 * 0.53= 1.8285

The length of the unknown side of the rectangle can be found by using the Pythagoras theorem. Letting the unknown side to be x, the labelled rectangle becomes: The unknown length of the triangle is about 16.7 feet.

The length of the unknown side of the rectangle can be found by using the Pythagoras theorem. Letting the unknown side to be x, the labelled rectangle becomes:

The unknown length of the triangle is about 16.7 feet.

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.

: We need to find the total rainfall for the months of May, June, and July using the given graph.

In the month of May, rainfall is between 3 and 4, which is halfway. Therefore, rainfall in May is 3.5 inches

On June, rainfall was 3 inch and on July the rainfall was 2.5 inches. Thus,

Total rainfall=3.5 inches+3 inches+ 2.5 inches=9.0 inches

Let's calculate the number of each color of gumball:

• Red: 20% of 120 → 0.2×120=24
• Orange: 30% of 120 → 0.3×120=36
• Yellow: 5% of 120 → 0.05×120=6
• Green: 10% of 120 → 0.1×120=12
• Blue: The remaining percentage: 100%−(20%+30%+5%+10%) = 100%−65% =35%
• So, 0.35×120=42 blue gumballs.

Now, we find how many more blue gumballs there are than yellow:

42−6=36

correlations fall into positive, negative, and no correlation. A positive correlation shows that an increase in one variable increase results in an increase on the other variable increases as shown.

A negative correlation scatter plot shows that an increase in one variable results in a decrease on the other one.

The no-correlation scatter plot demonstrates that there is no response between variables. A change in one variable has no effect on the other variable.

Looking at the provided scatter plot, the heights of the students does not have any relationship on the students’ scores. Thus, the type of correlation is no correlation.

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.

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.

Before we compare the values of the options, we convert the decimals to fractions.

5.4 becomes 54/10

6.25 becomes 625/100

Thus, the set of fractions is 11/2, 54/10, 13/3, 625/100. The least common denominator for 2, 10, 3, and 100 is 300, which we use to compare each options given.

11/2*300=1650

54/10*300=1620

13/3*300=1300

625/100*300=1875

From the above, 1875 is the greatest value which corresponds to 6.25. Therefore, 6.25 is the greatest value of all the choices given.
