Correct Answer is D
Explanation
In order for the teacher to better visualize the test performance for his class, he needs to present the mark distribution in chart form. A better chart visualizer is the histogram, which will show the frequency of marks against range of test scores. A bar graph will not be used because the rectangles need to touch one another.
In a bar graph, the rectangles do not touch each other. Therefore, it will not be a good chart visualizer.
Correct Answer is B
Explanation
The initial step is to convert the decimal numbers into fractions.
5.2 becomes 52/10
5.15 becomes 515/100
Next, find the least common denominator of 3, 10, and 100, which is 300. We use this value and multiply each fraction.
7/3*300=700
52/10*300=1560
13/3*300=1300
515/100*300=1545
From the above, 1560 is the greatest value which corresponds to 52/10. Thus, 5.2 is the greatest value of all the choices given.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
Before finding the area of the pizza, we need to find the radius of the pizza.
Find radius of the pizza in terms of diameter

Next, find area of the pizza using the radius of 6 inches

Substituting r=6 in the equation of the area of a circle

Thus, the pizza has an area of 36 π in2.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
We use the order of operation to solve for the unknown value of x.
3(3x+3)=8x+5
Multiply 3 with each number in the brackets
(3*3x)+(3*3)=8x+5
9x+9=8x+5
Subtract 9 from both sides
9x+9-9=8x+5-9
9x=8x-4
Subtract 8x on both sides
9x-8x=8x-8x-4
x=-4
Thus, the unknown value of x is -4.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
The first five months of the year are January, February, March, April, and May. We use to graph to find the amount of rainfall in each month as follows:
In the month of January, rainfall was between o and 1, which is halfway. Therefore, rainfall in January is 0.5 inches
On February, rainfall was 1 inch and on March the rainfall was 2 inches.
On April, the rainfall amount was 4 inches while on month of May, the rainfall was about 3.5 inches. Therefore, total rainfall in the first 5 months was:
Total rainfall=0.5 inches+1 inches+ 2 inches+4 inches + 3.5 inches =11 inches
Correct Answer is C

We multiply 7/8 by 100 to convert it to percent. You convert fraction to percent.

Thus 7/8 is equal to 87.5%.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
We solve for the value of x by following the order of operations
3(x-2)=15
Divide both sides of the equation by 3


Add 2 to both sides of the equation


Thus, the value of x is 8.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
to find the average time the athlete runs in 1 mile; we find total distance and total time the athlete takes in running.
Total distance run by athlete=7+3=10 miles
Total time=45+15 =60 minutes
The athlete runs 10 miles in 60 minutes. For the athlete to cover 1 mile, he will run for a time less than 60 minutes. Thus, in 1 mile, the athlete takes:

So, in 6 minutes, the athlete covers 1 mile.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
We use given information to find how much ammonia is need to make the specified solution.
We are told, one gallon of cleaning solution requires 10oz of ammonia. Expressing this mathematically yields two options:
\(\frac{10\ oz\ of\ ammonia}{1\ gallon\ of\ solution}\)or\(\frac{1\ gallon\ of\ solution}{10\ oz\ of\ ammonia}\)
Now we find how much ammonia is needed using option two.
\(51\ gallon\ of\ solution\ *\frac{10\ oz\ of\ ammonia}{1\ gallon\ of\ solution}\ =\ 510\ oz\ of\ ammonia\)
From the above equation, gallon of solution will cancel, and oz of ammonia is left.
Therefore, the solution will require 510 oz of ammonia.
