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

We are asked to convert kg to pounds using the given relation. If we let x to represent the lb we are asked to find, we set the proportion equation with kg on numerator and lb on the denominator as follows.

The equivalent value of 55kg is 121 lb.

We are tasked to find the unknown values of x in the given equation.

First, we add 8 to both sides of the equation.

Next, we apply the absolute rule:

If   , a>0, then u=a or u=-a

From our resulting equation, a=14, which is greater 0. Then, the first condition (u=a) becomes

Solving for x

The second condition (u= -a) becomes

Solving for x

Thus, the value of x is 4 or -3

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 to use the pie chart to find the number of students enrolled in dental hygiene care.

Letting x represent the number of students enrolled in dental hygiene care, we set the proportion equation with number of students as numerator and percentage as denominator. It should be noted that the whole pie chart represents 100% of the 800 students. Then,

We solve the value of x by cross-products.

Therefore, 144 students will enroll for a dental hygiene program.

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.

The sides of a right-angled triangle are determined by the Pythagoras theorem. If we let the unknown side to x as in the figure below, then theory is applied as follows.  

The value of x is found as:

The value of the unknown leg side of a triangle is about 9.8 feet.

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.

The slope represents the ratio of rise to run. Let p be the minimum length of the ramp, we can set a ratio equation as follows. Then,

The minimum length of the ramp needed is 18 feet to access to a door that is 1.5 feet above the sidewalk.

We are asked to make z the subject of the formula.

First, we subtract y/x from both sides of the equation

Thus, the formula for finding the value of z is  .

To find the probability of an event, we use the following the formula

To find the probability of drawing the red ball, we need to find the total number of balls in the bag.

Total number of balls in the bag=6+3+5=14 balls

The probability of drawing a red ball from the bag is 3/14.
