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

a ratio can be converted to a fraction of the form a/b, where b is not equal to zero. In ratio form, to means per.

From the given information, the class has 15 girls and 13 boys. Thus, the ratio of girls to boys becomes:

In ratio form, girls: boys=15:13

Thus, the ratio of girls to boys in a class of 28 students is 15 to 13.

we follow the order operations to solve for the unknown value of x.

2(4x+3)=7x+5

Open the bracket on the LHS by multiplying each term by 2

(2*4x)+(2*3)=7x+5

8x+6=7x+5

Subtract 6 from both sides

8x+6-6=7x+5-6

8x=7x-1

Subtract 7x on both sides

8x-7x=7x-7x-1

X=-1

Thus, the value of unknown value of x is -1.

the median of a data set is the element that is found on the middle position. It is found by organizing the elements from the smallest to largest.

The data set above arranged from the smallest to largest is:

11, 12, 12, 12, 13, 14, 17, 17, 18, 22, 26

The number of elements is odd and the median is found in the (N+1)/2 th position. Here N=11, and the median falls in (11+1)/2=12/2=6 th position.

The element 14 falls in the 6th position, which is our median of the given data set.

here we use the US customary system to convert between yards and feet. We use the conversion 1 yard =3 feet. Then, 6 yards to ft is found as

Thus, 6 yards is equal to 18 ft.

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 solve this equation, we use a calculator and find the product as:

2.50*0.25=0.625

To find the true statement we need to analyze the given statements.

For statement 1: the points per game decreased five times between 1996 and 2015. So, the statement is false.

For statement 2: the lowest points scored per game was in 1998-99 season. So, the statement is false.

For statement 3: 2008-09 was the season the chargers scored the greatest number of points per game. So, this statement is true.

When dealing with percent problems, the following is utilized to find the unknown variable.

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

From the problem above, we are looking for the amount of gratuity the couple can leave.

Let t be the amount of gratuity. Translating into an equation, we have

The gratuity is 15% of the total bill, which becomes

Here, of means multiply and we also convert percent into decimal before multiplying.

So, the value of t=5.76

Thus, a couple will leave a gratuity of $5.76, which is about $6.00.

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.

In this problem, we assume the truck carries a whole cargo. Thus, total weight is 516 lb divided by 1/3. Thus,

We change the division sign to product and multiply 516 by reciprocal of 1/3. Then,

The weight of the cargo will be 1548 lbs.
