Which of the following is the equivalence in pounds for 55 kg? (2.2 lb=1 kg)

To answer this question, we need to convert the numbers into a similar form. Converting decimal numbers into fraction is appropriate to finding the greatest number.

-0.9 becomes 9/10

-1.9 becomes 19/10

Now we find the LCM of the denominators of the four fractions. The LCM of 5, 10 and 3 is 30. Multiply each fraction with the LCM to compare the fractions.

-3/5*30=-18

-9/10*30=-27

-19/10*30=-57

-8/3*30=-24

The greatest number is -18, meaning -3/5 is the greatest number.

A histogram will be appropriate to represent the time the students wake up every day of the week. The histogram is used to represent the frequency of the variable with another variable. In our case the vertical axis will represent the number of students (frequency) while the time of waking up on the horizontal axis.

we are asked to find the percent change in weight gain of a person.

First, we need to find the change in weight gained over the 4 months

Change in weight= 186-176=10 lb

The percent change is expressed as change in weight over original weight *100. Then

The percent change in weight is 6% to the nearest whole number.

we are asked to find the number of gallons a full tank holds. A full tank is treated as 1 whole.

Letting x be the number of gallons in full tank and setting the proportion equation with the number of gallons on the numerator and fraction of tank on denominator as follows.

Convert the mixed fraction into proper fraction and cross-multiply to find the value of x.

x 1 full tank=185 gallons23full tank

A full tank holds 27/5 gallons, which when converted to a mixed fraction is 5 2/5.

We required to find the units of finding the weight of a sheet of paper. The SI unit of mass of an object is kilogram. However, kilogram is a large quantity that cannot be used to measure smaller objects.

Thus, derived units of mass are used to find the mass of other objects. In this case, the mass of a sheet paper can be recorded in grams.

To simplify this expression, we follow the order of operations as follows:

First, we start with the numerator and solve it as follows

[2(6+3*9)]

We start with multiplication in inner brackets, 3 * 9 = 27. The expression becomes

[2(6+27)]

Then, we carry out the addition of 6+27=33. Then, the expression yields

[2(33)]=2*33=66

Now, we solve for denominator, which is 6/2=3.

Thus, the expression is reduced into

The expression reduces into 22.

We are asked to find the fraction of pizza the three friends shared equally.

First, the whole pizza is represented by 1. If one friend ate a quarter of the pizza, then:

First friend eats =1/4 of 1=1/4*1=1/4

Remaining fraction of the pizza=1-1/4=3/4

Now, the three friends share 3/4 amongst themselves equally. So, each friend gets

The three friends each gets 1/4 of the pizza.

we are asked to find the area of a rectangle, which can only be found by finding the relation between length and width. Now, letting x represent the width, then

Length of rectangle=(x+2)

Width of the rectangle= x

Area of the rectangle, A= Length*width=(x+2)*x

A=x(x+2)

Therefore, the area of the rectangle becomes x(x+2).

we are tasked to find the number of cups of flour that will be used to make 90 cookies.

This is a proportion equation, and letting x be the number of cups of flour we set the equation as follows:

Solve the value of x by cross-products

Next, we convert the mixed fraction into improper fraction in order to carry out multiplication

The baker needs 15.75 cups of flour to make 120 cookies.  15.75 in mixed fraction is  

The scientist found that as water temperature increases, the fish population decreases. This means that the two variables move in opposite directions—when one increases, the other decreases.

This type of relationship is called a negative correlation.
