When the marks of a science test are graphed, the distribution of markss is symmetric with the majority of weights centered around a single peak. Which of the following describes the shape of this distribution?

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.

We use 1 L =1000 mL to convert between the two units. The conversion options of interconversions are:

And

We want millimeters, use the second option to change L to mL as:

Therefore, 2.5 L is equivalent to 2500 mL.

To solve this problem, we need to have all options in fraction form.

74  95 = 

7/8 = 3/8

0.72 = 72/100

74% = 74/100

Now, find the least common denominator of 95, 8, and 100. The least common denominator is 3800, which we multiply by each fraction as follows:

74/95*3800=2960

7/8*3800=3325

72/100*3800=2736

74/100*3800=2812

We can see that the fraction 7/8 is the greatest among the given options.

In this problem, we need to find the amount of gratuity the couple will leave. The gratuity is 16% of the total bill. Before solving the problem, the following are terms and their meaning in percent problems:

• Is means equals
• Of means multiply
• What means unknown (variable)

If we let x be the amount of gratuity, then translating the given problem into a mathematical equation becomes:

Now we evaluate the above equation noting that of means multiply.

So, the value of x=9.376 and to the nearest cent, x=9.38

There, a couple will leave a gratuity of $9.38.

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.

Let x be the original price of the recliner.

Step 1: Apply the 30% discount

The recliner is on sale for 30% less than the original price:

SalePrice=x−0.3x=0.7x

Step 2: Apply the 25% coupon discount

The consumer gets an additional 25% off the sale price:

FinalPrice=0.7x−0.25(0.7x) = 0.525x

Step 3: Solve for x

The consumer paid $237, so:

0.525x=237

​ x≈451.43x

Rounding to the nearest dollar, the original price is $451.

We two conversions when asked to convert between kg and lb

And

We need kg equivalent of 220 lb, therefore we use option 1 and carry out the conversions as follows:

Thus, 100kg is equal to 220lb.

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.

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.

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.
