Your first answer is wrong.
To find the best buy, you need to find the cost per ounce.
Divide the cost by the number of ounces.
I found that C was the best buy. 3 / 24 = $0.125
If you'd like me to check the rest of your answers, please copy the problems and your answers. PLEASE NUMBER THEM!
By simply guessing, you had a 90% chance of getting at least 1 right.
You managed to get all of the wrong, quite a feat.
It would have helped if you had numbered them.
for the "running" question, none of the choices given are correct
Caroline runs 3 1/2 miles in 22 1/4 minutes
= 7/2 ÷ 89/4 = (7/2)(4/89) = ......
Grandma question: it asked for the distance in km, your choice of answers are in mile
Even if they were in km, your choice is wrong
Which pair of ratios forms a proportion? ---- your choice is incorrect
None of the given choices are correct
Assuming the last question refers to the equation given in the 2nd last one,
none of the given choices are correct, yours is incorrect.
I am flabbergasted!
Ok I reposted
To check your answers for the math problems, let's go through them one by one:
1) Which is the best buy?
To determine the best buy, we need to compare the cost per ounce of hand soap. The best buy is the option with the lowest cost per ounce. So, we divide the cost by the number of ounces for each option:
A) 2.40 / 16 = 0.15
B) 2.80 / 20 = 0.14
C) 3.00 / 24 = 0.125
D) 2.00 / 12 = 0.1667
Option B has the lowest cost per ounce, so it is the best buy.
2) What is the ratio of 4/5 to 7/15?
To find the ratio, we divide the first fraction by the second fraction and simplify if possible:
(4/5) / (7/15) = (4/5) * (15/7) = 60/35 = 12/7
So, the ratio is 12/7, which matches with option D.
3) Caroline runs 3 1/2 miles in 22 1/4 minutes. How many miles does she run per minute?
To find the miles per minute, we divide the total miles by the total minutes:
3 1/2 / 22 1/4 = (7/2) / (89/4) = (7/2) * (4/89) = 28/89
So, Caroline runs approximately 0.3146 miles per minute. When rounded to the nearest hundredth, it is 19/89, matching with option C.
4) A statue is 7 1/2 feet tall. How many inches tall is the statue?
To convert feet to inches, we multiply by 12 since there are 12 inches in a foot:
7 1/2 * 12 = (15/2) * 12 = (15 * 12) / 2 = 180 / 2 = 90
So, the statue is 90 inches tall, matching with option B.
5) Bryce lives 26 miles from his grandmother's house. How many kilometers does Bryce live from his grandmother's house? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a mile. 1 km = 0.62 mi
To convert miles to kilometers, we multiply by the conversion factor:
26 * 0.62 = 16.12
Rounding to the nearest tenth, Bryce lives approximately 16.1 miles from his grandmother's house, matching with option A.
6) Which pair of ratios forms a proportion?
To check for a proportion, we need to compare the ratios and see if they are equal:
A) 4/5 and 16/24 = 4/5 = 16/24 (proportion)
B) 9/15 and 3/4 = 9/15 ≠ 3/4 (not a proportion)
C) 5/8 and 3/4 = 5/8 ≠ 3/4 (not a proportion)
D) 9/10 and 40/45 = 9/10 ≠ 40/45 (not a proportion)
Option C, 5/8 and 3/4, forms a proportion, matching with option C.
7) What is the common multiplier in the proportion: x/12 = 24/36?
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
36 * x = 12 * 24
36x = 288
x = 8
The common multiplier in the proportion is 8, matching with option A.
8) Solve the proportion: x/15 = 24/36
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
36 * x = 15 * 24
36x = 360
x = 10
So, x equals 10, matching with option B.
