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

5/8

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

we are asked to find the largest value from the options given. To solve this problem, we need to convert all the given values into fraction. Then find the least common denominator for all fractions, which we will use to multiply each fraction and make a comparison.

34÷96=

3/8=3/8

0.372=372/1000

37%=37/100

Now, we need to find the least common denominator of 48, 8, 1000, and 100, which is 6000. We multiply each fraction by 6000 as follows:

17/48*6000=2125

3/8*6000=2250

372/1000*6000=2232

37/100*6000=2220

From the above calculations, arranging the fraction from the largest to the smallest in order is: 3/8, 372/1000,37/100, and 17/48.  Thus, the greatest value is 3/8.

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.

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

And

Since we are asked to find pounds, we use the second option for kg to cancel during conversion as follows:

Thus, 50 kg is equal to 110 lb.

We need to find how many mL are in 2.5 teaspoons. We need to use dimensional analysis to solve this problem as follows.

Converting between teaspoon and mL uses the following conversions:

Or

We want to end up with mL, we utilize the second conversion and set up the following equation.

Thus, 2.5 teaspoons can hold 12.325 mL.

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 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.

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.

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.
