Twelve less than thrice a number

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

We are asked to find mL equivalent in 1.5 teaspoons. To carry out the operations, we utilize dimensional analysis to solve this problem as follows.

Converting between teaspoon and mL uses the following conversions:

Or

Since we want to remain with mL, use the second option and proceed as follows.

Thus, 1.5 teaspoons is equal to 7.395 mL

From the cost of 45 syringes, we are required to find the cost of 5 syringes. We set up a proportion equation by letting the cost of 5 syringes to y. Besides, we let the cost to be numerator and number of syringes to be denominator as follows.

Solve the value of y by cross products

Divide both sides by 45

Therefore, 5 syringes will cost $80.00.

To convert 514 to a percentage:

Step 1: Convert the mixed number to a decimal

514=5+14=5+0.25=5.255

Step 2: Convert to a percentage

Multiply by 100:

5.25×100=525%

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 order for the teacher to better visualize the test performance for his class, he needs to present the mark distribution in chart form. A better chart visualizer is the histogram, which will show the frequency of marks against range of test scores. A bar graph will not be used because the rectangles need to touch one another.

In a bar graph, the rectangles do not touch each other. Therefore, it will not be a good chart visualizer.

We need to find the amount Lana left after spending and investing another.

Lana spends=70% of $90=70/100 * 90 = $63

Amount left after spending=$(90-63) = $27

Lana is left with $27, which she will invest and earns a profit of 60%.

Profit earned=60% of $27 = 60/100 * 27 = $16.20

Therefore, Lana will have $27 + $16.20 = $43.20

We solve for the value of x by following the order of operations

3(x-2)=15

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

Add 2 to both sides of the equation

Thus, the value of x is 8.

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.

The truck carries a whole cargo which equals 1. If we let the weight of the cargo to be p, then we set up a proportion equation with weight as numerator and fraction of cargo as denominator.

Solve for value of p by cross products

Multiply both sides by 3/2 a reciprocal of 2/3

The truck carries a cargo weighing 795 lb.

An independent variable is a change that when modified brings a change in other variables. In this case, the person increases his climbing rate, calories burned, distance traveled and energy used increases. Therefore, the walking speed is the independent variable while other variables are dependent.
