35. Mr. Dunbar's math class averaged poorly on a test, so he gave them a retest. If every person in the class scored 5 points higher on the retest, how would the RANGE of the retest scores differ from the RANGE of the scores on the first test.
a. The ranges would be the same.
b. The range on the retest would be 5 points higher.
c. The range on the retest would be 10 points higher.
d. The range on the retest would be 20 points higher.
My Answer~ b
36. A student scored an 88, 92, and 76 on three math tests. What does the student need to get on the fourth test to have an average of 85 for all four tests? Joseph wants to use algebra to solve this problem. Which equation should he use? (NOTE: The answers with the “4” or/and “3” under them are fractions)
a. 4x = 256/85
b. 256 + x = 85
4
c. 85 + x = 25
4
d. 256 = 85x
3 4
My answer~d

d. C = H + 4
My Answer ~ a
38. Given 3x – y = 8. Solve for x.
a. x = (8 - y)/3
b. x = (8 + y)/3
c. x = -8 – 3y
d. x = -8 + 3y
My Answer~ a
my answer is B
for what?
33. The equation y = 7x represents Jane's earnings, where x represents the number of hours she works. Jane cannot work more than 15 hours per week. The values in the solution set will be the possible values of x that satisfy this condition.
To find the solution set, we need to find the values of x that are less than 15. Therefore, the correct answer is a. x < 15.
34. Matty jogs at a speed of 9 km/hr. To convert this speed to m/s, we need to find the correct conversion factor setup.
1 km = 1000 m
1 hr = 60 min = 60 sec
To convert km/hr to m/s, we need to multiply the speed (9 km/hr) by the conversion factors that cancel out the units and leave us with m/s.
By examining the options, we see that option b has the correct conversion factor setup:
9 km x 1000 m x 1 hr x 1 min
1 hr 9 km 60 min 60 sec
Therefore, the correct answer is b.
35. Mr. Dunbar's math class averaged poorly on a test, so he gave them a retest where every person in the class scored 5 points higher. We need to determine how the range of the retest scores differs from the range of the scores on the first test.
Range is the difference between the highest and lowest scores. Since every student scored 5 points higher on the retest, this means that the range will increase by 5 points.
Therefore, the correct answer is b. The range on the retest would be 5 points higher.
36. A student scored 88, 92, and 76 on three math tests and wants to have an average of 85 for all four tests. To determine the score the student needs on the fourth test, we can use algebra.
Let x be the score the student needs on the fourth test.
The average of all four tests is given by (88 + 92 + 76 + x)/4. This should be equal to 85.
(88 + 92 + 76 + x)/4 = 85
256 + x = 340
x = 340 - 256
x = 84
Therefore, the student needs to score 84 on the fourth test.
The correct equation to use in this problem is d. 256 = 85x (the sum of the scores on the first three tests is 256 and we want to find the score on the fourth test, represented by x).
37. The proportion "The number of chickens (C) is four times as many as the number of horses (H) on the farm" can be represented as C = 4H.
Therefore, the correct equation is a. C = 4H.
38. Given the equation 3x - y = 8, we need to solve for x.
To isolate x, we can bring the y term to the other side by adding y to both sides of the equation:
3x = 8 + y
Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 3 to solve for x:
x = (8 + y)/3
Therefore, the correct answer is a. x = (8 + y)/3.
