Which of the following percentages is equivalent to the fraction below?

3/4

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

Now, the class has 26 girls and 22 boys. Thus, the ratio of girls to boys becomes:

The fraction above reduces into

In ratio form, girls: boys=13:11

Thus, the ratio of girls to boys in a class of 48 students is 13 to 11.

 we are to find the selling price of the sweater from the marked price and the discount. The marked price is given as

Discount=mark off rate*original price

Discount=15%*$78

Convert 15% into a fraction, which become 15/100=0.15. Then

Discount=0.15*$78=$11.70

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

Thus, the approximate selling price of the sweater is $66.

When solving percent problems, the following words and their meaning becomes handy.

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

If we let x represent the amount of tip the couple want to leave behind, then

So, the couple will leave a tip of $2.84, which is about $3.00

The best way to visualize the student’s score for each subject is to plot them using a bar graph.

The interconversion of yards to feet utilizes the relationship 1 yard =3 feet. Then, 9 yards to ft becomes

                                        t

There, 9 yards is equal to 27 ft.

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

3(2x+5)=11x+5

Open the bracket on the LHS by multiplying each term by 3

(3*2x)+(3*5)=11x+5

6x+15=11x+5

Subtract 15 from both sides

6x+15-15=11x+5-15

6x=11x-10

Subtract 11x on both sides

6x-11x=11x-11x-10

-5x=-10

Divide both sides by -5

-5x/-5=-10/-5

x= 2

Thus, the value of unknown value of x is 2.

Looking at the give curve, we analyze each statement as:

• 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 and not in 2003-04 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 false.
• For statement 4: the two season which no change in the points were 2012-13 and 2013-14. So this is true according to given curve.

We asked to convert kg to pounds. There are two ways of converting between kg and pounds

And

Since we are to find pounds, we use the second option for kg to cancel

The pound equivalent of 45 kg is 99 lb.

The babies' measured weights change over time and depend on the time interval after birth. Since weight is the outcome being measured, it is the dependent variable in the study.

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

Total distance=5+3=8 miles

Total time=25+15=40 minutes

We now know that the athlete runs 8 miles in 40 minutes, so the time the athlete will run in 1 mile will be:  

In 5 minutes, the athlete runs 1 mile.
