A farmer needs to buy fertilizer for his farmland. The instructions on the bag of the fertilizer say 49.5 pounds of fertilizer is needed for 1 acre of land. The farmer buys 2,000 pounds of fertilizer. Which of the following is the approximate number of acres he can cover with the fertilizer he bought?

we use the US customary system of units’ equivalent to convert from yards to inches. We know that 1yard=3 ft, and 1 ft =12 inches.

First, convert 2 ¾ into an improper fraction.

Then,

Here, the athlete runs 6 miles in 51 minutes, which can be expressed as:

Now, in 90 minutes, the athlete will cover about

Therefore, the athlete runs about 10.6 miles in 90 minutes.

Percentages always add up to 100%. If we let x be the percent of graduates working for jobs unrelated to law, then

74%+3%+2%+x=100%

79%+x=100%

Subtract 79% from both sides of the equation

79%-79%+x=100%

x=100%-79%

x=21%

So, the number of graduates working for jobs unrelated to law is 21%.

We extrapolate the values of a line between 10 and 15 on y-axis to meet the curve and drop another line from the intersection of the curve to meet the x-axis and read off the age of the car.

Now, let’s extrapolate in the following diagram

The intersection of the line and the x-axis is between 4 and 5 years. This means that the car is about 4.5 years old. From the options given, the age of the car is more than 3 years old.

We are given a mix of fractions and decimals and to compare the numbers, we convert the given decimals to fractions.

4.4 becomes 44/10

4.25 becomes 425/100

Now the set of fractions for comparison are: 9/2, 10/3, 44/10, and 425/100. The least common denominator for 2, 3 and 10 is 300. Then,

9/2*300=1350

10/3*300=1000

44/10*300=1320

425/10*300=1275

From the above products, 9/2 gives the greatest value when the fractions are compared with the least common denominator of the given denominators.

In this problem, we take the triangle as a right-angled triangle and label it as follows:

From the Pythagoras theorem A2 + B2= C2, we can look for a combination of A and B that when the squares of A and B are summed give a square of 13.  Mathematically,

But C=13 inches

If we take A=5 inches and B=12 inches, then

Next, we take A=2.5 inches, B=6 inches

Next, we take A=2.5 inches, B=4 inches

6.25+16=169

22.25≠169

Taking A=5 inches and B=8 inches

From the above computation, the combination of A=5 inches and B=12 inches give a triangle with a hypothenuse of 13 inches.

Round trip means to and from, which is twice the distance from home to a medical facility.

In one day, the round trip=19+19=38 miles

So, in 22 days, the round trip=38*22=836 miles.

The patient will cover 836 miles in 22 days.

From the given problem,

49.5 pounds of fertilizer is needed to farm 1 acre of land. This can be interpreted as:

Or

Now we are needed to find the acres of land that will be farmed using 2000 pounds of fertilizers. To solve this, we use the second option as follows:

2000 pounds of fertilizers can farm approximately 40 acres of land.

The median temperature can be found by organizing the temperature values from the smallest to the largest value as follows:

98.6, 98.7, 99.0, 99.0,99.2, 99.3, 99.7, 100.0

(for an even set of numbers, Median = frac{(frac{n}{2})th observation + (frac{n}{2} + 1) th observation}{2})

From the data set above, there are 8temperature values. The median is the temperature value in the middle position, which falls between the(frac{n}{2} th)and((frac{n}{2} + 1) th) position. Here N=8and median is found as:

(frac{(frac{n}{2})th + (frac{n}{2} + 1) th}{2} = )(frac{(frac{8}{2})th + (frac{8}{2} + 1) th }{2} = 4.5th position)

The element in the 4.5th position is the average of the 4th and 5th element.

(frac{99.0 + 99.2}{2} = 99.1)

Thus 99.1 is the median temperature.

We need to find the length of the rectangle from the given area and width of the rectangle. Let L be length if the rectangle. Then,

Area of rectangle=Length*width

Substituting area=32 in2 and w=4 inches

32=L*4

32=4L

Divide both sides by 4

32/4=4L/4

8=L

The length of the rectangle is 8 inches.
