Which of the following is the weight of the cargo in a truck if 1/3 of the cargo weighs 516 pounds (lb)?

In order to solve for the value of x, we use the order of operations as follows:

The first step is to divide both sides by 4

Since 5 is subtracted, we add 5 to both sides to eliminate it from the left-hand side of the equation

Thus, the value of x is 7.

: we are to find the selling price of the sweater after subtracting the mark off price.

Mark off value=mark off rate*original price

Mark of value=25%*$87

We convert 25% into a fraction, which become 25/100=0.25. Then

Mark of value=0.25*$87=$21.75

The selling price of the sweater will be the original price less the mark off value. Then,

Thus, the approximate selling price of the sweater is $65.

We are told to find the area of the pizza given its diameter. The pizza is in circular form, and its area is found as:

However, we are not given r, which is the radius of the circle. But we can find it from the given diameter as

Substituting r=8 in the equation of the area of a circle

Thus, the area of the pizza is 64  in2.

NOTE:  (Pi) remains as a symbol because values of Pi can vary from 22/7 to 3.1415 to 3.14 and so forth.

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.

to change L to mL we use the following options of interconversions:

Or

Since we are needed to change L to mL, use the second option.

Thus, a bucket can hold 3000 mL which is equal to 3 L.

we need to find the net income of the nurse in 4 weeks from the weekly net income.

Weekly net income=gross income-total tax

Total tax=federal income tax+state income tax+Social Security tax

Total tax=$(83.00+38.00+79.00)

Total tax=$200.00

Weekly net income=$(800.00-200.00)=$600.00

In one week, the net income of the nurse is $600.00 and in 4 weeks the nurse will a net income of:

The nurse will earn $2,400.00 in 4 weeks after taxes are deducted.

we are needed to find the portion of pizza shared by 3 three friends. We treat the whole pizza as 1. Now, 1 friend eats half of the whole pizza. Thus,

One friend=1/2 of 1=1/2*1=1/2

Remaining amount=1-1/2=2/2-1/2=1/2

Thus, ½ of pizza is left for three friends to share among themselves. Then, each friend will get

So, the other three friends will each get 1/6 of the pizza.

to find the average time the athlete runs in 1 mile, find total time divided by total distance covered.

Total distance=4+4=8 miles

Total time=28+32 =60 minutes

From the above, the athlete runs 8 miles in 60 minutes, so the athlete will take how minutes to cover 1 mile.

So, the athlete covers 1 mile in 7.5 minutes.

the question requires we find the cost of two syringes.

If we let x be the cost of two syringes, then we set up a proportion equation with cost as numerator and number of syringes as denominator. The proportion equation becomes

Cross-multiply to solve for x

Rearranging the above

Divide both sides by 35

The cost of 2 syringes is $32.

Correlation of two variables falls into:

Positive correlation: an increase in one variable causes another variable to increase

Negative correlation: an increase in one variable causes another one to decrease

No correlation: a change in one variable does not cause any response in another variable.

From the given choices

Option a is no correlation

Option b is a negative correlation

Option c is a negative correlation

Option d is a positive correlation
