Which of the following is the appropriate estimate of 1 teaspoon?

In this problem, we take the triangle as a right-angled triangle and label it as follows:

From the Pythagoras theorem A2 + B2= C2, we can look for a combination of A and B that when the squares of A and B are summed give a square of 13.  Mathematically,

But C=13 inches

If we take A=5 inches and B=12 inches, then

Next, we take A=2.5 inches, B=6 inches

Next, we take A=2.5 inches, B=4 inches

6.25+16=169

22.25≠169

Taking A=5 inches and B=8 inches

From the above computation, the combination of A=5 inches and B=12 inches give a triangle with a hypothenuse of 13 inches.

The whole pie chart represents 100%, which we use together with the given percentages to find the respective different sports. Note that 100% is equal to 500 surveyed students. The, the number of teenagers who prefer:

Soccer

Hockey

Football

Basketball

Other

From the evaluations above, 90 teenagers love soccer, 80 love hockey, 190 teenagers love football, 120 teenagers love basketball, and 20 teenagers love others.

Here we are required to find the area of the square of sides 3.1 m. The square is a four-sided figure with each side equal and opposite sides making 90 degrees.

Area of the square =side*side

Side=3.1 m

Area of the square =3.1 m *3.1 m=9.61 m2

Note: 3.1 + 3.1 = 6.2 which is a wrong answer.

From the given problem,

49.5 pounds of fertilizer is needed to farm 1 acre of land. This can be interpreted as:

Or

Now we are needed to find the acres of land that will be farmed using 2000 pounds of fertilizers. To solve this, we use the second option as follows:

2000 pounds of fertilizers can farm approximately 40 acres of land.

The given ratio of yoghurt to toppings is 4:3, meaning:

Yoghurt : toppings =4 : 3

We are given 4.5 oz of toppings and need to find the amount of yoghurt.

Step 1: Set up the proportion

=

Step 2: Solve for yoghurt

Multiply both sides by 4.5:

yoghurt=43×4.5

yoghurt=4×4.5/3=18/3=6oz

We are given that 1 teaspoon=4.93 mL, we can interpret it as:

Or

Since we are to find the amount in mL, we look for an option that will cancel teaspoon and remain with mL. The second option is the required conversion, and we proceed as follows:

Therefore, 2.5 teaspoons hold about 12.325 mL.

When dividing fractions, the division sign is changed into multiply sign and the first fraction is multiplied by the inverse of the second fraction.

Change division to multiply sign and find invers of 5/8. The inverse of a fraction is inverting the given fraction. The denominator becomes the numerator and the numerator becomes the denominator.

We need to find the length of the rectangle from the given area and width of the rectangle. Let L be length if the rectangle. Then,

Area of rectangle=Length*width

Substituting area=32 in2 and w=4 inches

32=L*4

32=4L

Divide both sides by 4

32/4=4L/4

8=L

The length of the rectangle is 8 inches.

Looking at the given trend, it is observed that the price increases with years. From 2008 to 2012, the price is fairly constant but we expect it to be more than $130,000 in the year 2016. The expected price in 2016 is $140,000.

The mean is the total divided by the number of elements in the data set. From the given data set:

Total=30+29+28+30+24+12+26+33+25+23=260

Number of items, N=10

Mean=total/N=260/10=26

The mean is 26.
