If the trend below continues, which of the following is the best estimate of the average price of a home in 2016?

 

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 use the properties of exponent with the same base to solve for above expression.

Multiplication of exponents with same base, we add the exponents

Division of exponents with same base, we subtract the exponents

Using these two properties, we can solve the expression:

Now we use the following properties:

y0 =1, and, thus

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 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.

In this problem, to find one side of the square garden, we use the calculator to find the square root of 13. Thus

Thus, the approximate side of a square garden is about 3.6 ft

We solve the problem by first finding the amount of gallons needed for the whole trip then find the cost of the gallon.

The car uses 1 gallon to cover 25 miles, which is same as:

Now, in 3000 miles, the car will use how many gallons of gasoline?

A trip of 3000 miles will need 120 gallons. And to find the cost of 120 gallons, we proceed as follows:

The family will spend $199.20 to drive for 3000 miles.

In the simple interest, we utilize the following formula to find the simple interest after a period of time in years.

I=P*r*t

I is the interest

P=Principal or initial deposit

r=rate

t=time in years

From the given problem, P=$600, r=6%=6/100=0.06, t=5 years. Then

I=$600*0.06*5=$180

After 5 years, Pat will earn an interest of $180.

We can interpret ‘cannot exceed” as less than ‘<’. Therefore, in our inequality, the symbol < must be included. Now let’s convert the word problem into a mathematical inequality.

Money spent on supplies=s

Money spent on textbooks=t

Total money spent=money spent on supplies + money spent on textbooks

Total money spent = s+t

But the money spent cannot exceed $12,000. Then,

s+t <$12,000.
However the money spent can still be equal to $12000, as it has not exceeded it.

Therefore, therequired inequality is s + t <= $12,000.

To find the net force, we choose east direction as positive and west as negative. From this, we can present the tag of war in the diagram below.

So, the force on the dog is -190 N and that of the girl is 165 N.

The net force is the sum of the two forces

The resulting force is negative, meaning it is in the west direction. Thus, the net force is 25 N to the west.

Here we collect like terms together and solve for the unknown value of x.

7x-6=3x-26

Add 6 to both sides of the equation

7x-6+6=3x-26+6

7x=3x-20

Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation

7x-3x=-20

4x=-20

Divide both sides by 4

4x/-4=-20/4

x = -5

The value of x = -5
