Solve the problem.
If a freight carrier charges 54 cents for a package up to one ounce and 39 cents for each additional ounce or fraction of an ounce, find the cost of shipping a package that weighs 168 grams.
Question 39 options:
A)
$2.73
B)
$3.63
C)
$2.88
D)
$2.49
To solve this problem, we need to convert the weight of the package from grams to ounces.
1 ounce is approximately 28.35 grams.
Therefore, 168 grams is approximately 168/28.35 = 5.93 ounces.
The first ounce costs 54 cents, and each additional ounce costs 39 cents.
For the first ounce, the cost is 54 cents.
For the additional 4.93 ounces, the cost is 4.93 * 39 cents = $1.92.
So, the total cost is 54 cents + $1.92 = $2.46.
Therefore, the correct answer is D) $2.49.
Solve the problem.
A tank has a capacity of 55,000 cubic feet. How many gallons of water does the tank hold?
Question 40 options:
A)
411,400 gal
B)
7353 gal
C)
55,000 gal
D)
238 gal
To solve this problem, we need to convert the capacity of the tank from cubic feet to gallons.
1 cubic foot is approximately equal to 7.48 gallons.
Therefore, 55,000 cubic feet is approximately 55,000 * 7.48 gallons = 410,600 gallons.
Therefore, the correct answer is A) 411,400 gallons.
The circle graph shows the number of times a group of survey respondents watched the news in the past week. Use the chart to answer the question.
If the number of respondents in the study was approximately 20,000, how many stated that they watched the news 5-6 times in the last week?
Question 25 options:
A)
6800 respondents
B)
680 respondents
C)
3600 respondents
D)
360 respondents
To find out how many respondents stated that they watched the news 5-6 times in the last week, we need to look at the chart.
The circle graph shows that this category represents 18% of the total respondents.
If the total number of respondents is approximately 20,000, then we can calculate 18% of 20,000:
18% of 20,000 = (18/100) * 20,000 = 0.18 * 20,000 = 3,600 respondents.
Therefore, the correct answer is C) 3,600 respondents.
To solve this problem, we need to convert the weight of the package from grams to ounces.
1 ounce is equal to 28.35 grams.
So, the weight of the package in ounces would be:
168 grams / 28.35 grams/ounce ≈ 5.92 ounces
The cost of shipping a package that weighs up to one ounce is 54 cents.
For each additional ounce or fraction of an ounce, the cost is 39 cents.
Since the package weighs 5.92 ounces, we need to find the cost of shipping the additional 4.92 ounces.
Cost of additional weight = 4.92 ounces × 39 cents/ounce = $1.92
Therefore, the total cost of shipping the package is:
Cost of the package up to one ounce + Cost of additional weight = 54 cents + $1.92 = $2.46
Hence, the correct option is:
D) $2.49
To solve this problem, we need to convert the weight of the package from grams to ounces, and then calculate the shipping cost based on the given rates.
First, let's convert 168 grams to ounces.
1 ounce = 28.35 grams (approximately)
To convert grams to ounces, we divide the weight in grams by the conversion factor:
168 grams / 28.35 grams/ounce ≈ 5.93 ounces
Next, we calculate the shipping cost based on the given rates. The base charge for packages up to one ounce is $0.54, and for each additional ounce or fraction of an ounce, the charge is $0.39.
For 5.93 ounces:
Base charge: $0.54
Additional charges: 5.93 - 1 = 4.93 ounces
4.93 ounces * $0.39/ounce = $1.92
So, the total cost of shipping the package that weighs 168 grams is:
$0.54 + $1.92 = $2.46
None of the provided options match $2.46.
