Twelve less than thrice a number

Which of the following translates the phrase above into a mathematical expression?

We use given information to find how much ammonia is need to make the specified solution.

We are told, one gallon of cleaning solution requires 10oz of ammonia. Expressing this mathematically yields two options:

\(\frac{10\ oz\ of\ ammonia}{1\ gallon\ of\ solution}\)or\(\frac{1\ gallon\ of\ solution}{10\ oz\ of\ ammonia}\)

Now we find how much ammonia is needed using option two.

\(51\ gallon\ of\ solution\ *\frac{10\ oz\ of\ ammonia}{1\ gallon\ of\ solution}\ =\ 510\ oz\ of\ ammonia\)

From the above equation, gallon of solution will cancel, and oz of ammonia is left.

Therefore, the solution will require 510 oz of ammonia.

Here we need to find the actual values of the additions and see the trend the student will use to estimate the given problem. The exact sum is as follows

35+192227

258+350=608

947+1032=1979

From the above calculations, it is evident that the student rounds up or down the ones place values. So, in the problem we need to approximate 694+7618.

694+7618=8312

We can approximate 8312 based on the provided choices is 8310.

We use the order of operation to solve for the unknown value of x.

3(3x+3)=8x+5

Multiply 3 with each number in the brackets

(3*3x)+(3*3)=8x+5

9x+9=8x+5

Subtract 9 from both sides

9x+9-9=8x+5-9

9x=8x-4

Subtract 8x on both sides

9x-8x=8x-8x-4

x=-4

Thus, the unknown value of x is -4.

In a bell-shaped curve, the data distribution is symmetric around a single peak. The centering of data around a single peak means the mean, mode and median of the test are all equal to each other.

In this scenario, we use the given scale in the charts to find the number of each coin and selected the right number of coins the student collected.

From the above evaluations, option two is the correct choice.

A whole pizza represents 1, and two friends eat ¼ of the pizza. The remaining fraction of pizza is:

Remaining amount = 

Thus, 3/4 of pizza is left for three friends to share equally.

Now, the other three friends will each get

So, the other three friends will each get 1/4 of the pizza.

We analyze the given statement with the graph given as follows:

For option a: the points per game decreased five times between 1996 and 2015. So, the statement is true.

For option b: the lowest points scored per game was in 1998-99 season. So, the statement is false.

For option c: 2008-09 was the season the chargers scored the greatest number of points per game and not 2002-03 as claimed in the statement. So, this statement is not true.

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 three times width. Mathematically, this means

Length=3*width=3*x=3x

Again, the length is 4 less than 3 times width of the rectangle. Thus, the length of rectangle in terms of width becomes:

Length =3x-4

This is the required equation.

A ratio is of the form a : b but can also be converted to a fraction of the form a/b, where b is not equal to zero. Besides, to in ration means per in fraction form.

In the class of 40 students, 22 are girls and 18 are boys. Thus, the ratio of girls to boys becomes:

The above fraction can be reduced further since 2 is a common factor in both 22 and 18. Thus

In ratio form, girls: boys=11:9

Thus, the ratio of girls to boys in a class of 40 students is 11 to 9.

The initial step is to convert the decimal numbers into fractions.

5.2 becomes 52/10

5.15 becomes 515/100

Next, find the least common denominator of 3, 10, and 100, which is 300. We use this value and multiply each fraction.

7/3*300=700

52/10*300=1560

13/3*300=1300

515/100*300=1545

From the above, 1560 is the greatest value which corresponds to 52/10. Thus, 5.2 is the greatest value of all the choices given.
