Which of the following is the appropriate unit of a measure to express the weight of a sheet of paper?

To find the greatest number from the given set, we first convert the decimal numbers into fractions.

12.35 becomes 1235/100

11.46 becomes 1146/10

Then, the LCM for the denominators of the given fractions of 2, 100, 3 and 10 is 300. Now we multiply each fraction with 300, which we will use to compare the give set.

25/2*300=3750

1235/100*300=3705

40/3*300=4000

1146/10*300=3438

From the calculated values, 4000 is the greatest value. Then, 40/3is the greatest value.

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.

the mean of a data set is the sum of the scores divided by the number of tests.

Total test scores =99+93+67+ 48+ 92+ 87=486

Number of tests =6

Mean test score =486/6=81

The mean test score is 81.

This problem asks us to compare the number of dimes to nickels.

If we let p be number of pennies in the bottle. Then,

Number of quarters in the bottle = 4p

Number of nickels in the bottle = 2p

Number of dimes in the bottle =7(2p)=14p

To find the number of dimes the child has than nickels, we use the ratio:

\(\frac{Dimes}{nickels} =\frac {14p}{2p}\ =\ 7\)

Thus, there are 7times as many dimes as nickels in the box.

The median of the data set is the number that falls in the middle position after arranging the numbers in the data set in the ascending order.

-6, -4, 1, 8, 12

There are 5 numbers in the given data set, therefore the median falls in the third position from either side. Inspecting the data set, 1 fall in the third position, which is the median for the given data set.

The SI units of measuring length is meter. However, a meter can be a large unit or small quantity depending what is being measured. Therefore, derived units of meters are used to measure the length of an object. In our case, centimeters is the appropriate unit to measure the width of the window.

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.

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.

To simplify this expression, we follow the order of operations as follows:

First, we start with the numerator and solve it as follows

[2(6+3*9)]

We start with multiplication in inner brackets, 3 * 9 = 27. The expression becomes

[2(6+27)]

Then, we carry out the addition of 6+27=33. Then, the expression yields

[2(33)]=2*33=66

Now, we solve for denominator, which is 6/2=3.

Thus, the expression is reduced into

The expression reduces into 22.

we need to find the circumference of the circle from the given area.

The first step is to find the radius of the circle using the given area. Let r be the radius of the circle, then:

Substituting the value of area in the above equation becomes

Dividing both sides by pi and taking square root on both sides yields

Now, we know the radius of circle to be  9 in, the circumference of the circle becomes,

  in.
