If x represents the width of a rectangle and length is six less than two times the width, which of the following expressions represents the length of the rectangle in terms of x?
2x-6
6-2x
6x-2
3x-4
Correct Answer : A
To form an equation from the word problem, first break the given statement into smaller statements.
First, we are given the width of the rectangle as x. We are told, the length is two times width. Mathematically, this means
Length=2*width=2*x=2x
Now, the length is 6 less than 2 times width of the rectangle. Thus, the length of rectangle in terms of width becomes:
Length =2x-6
Thus, the length of the rectangle is 2x-6.

Correct Answer is D
Explanation
Before we compare the values of the options, we convert the decimals to fractions.
5.4 becomes 54/10
6.25 becomes 625/100
Thus, the set of fractions is 11/2, 54/10, 13/3, 625/100. The least common denominator for 2, 10, 3, and 100 is 300, which we use to compare each options given.
11/2*300=1650
54/10*300=1620
13/3*300=1300
625/100*300=1875
From the above, 1875 is the greatest value which corresponds to 6.25. Therefore, 6.25 is the greatest value of all the choices given.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
We are needed to find the amount Jacob will be left with after spending and reinvesting the rest using the given information.
Amount Jacob spends=87% of $100=87/100*100=$87
Amount left to invest=$(100-87)=$13
Jacob is left with $13, which she invests and earns a profit of 75%.
Profit earned on invested amount=75% of $13=75/100*13=$9.75
So, Jacob will have $13+$9.75=$22.75
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
The net income is the salary of the teacher gets after deducting total taxes.
Weekly net income=weekly gross income-total tax
Total tax=federal income tax+state income tax+Social Security tax
Total tax=$(72.00+35.00+65.00)
Total tax=$172.00
Weekly net income=$(730.00-172.00)=$558.00
The net income the teacher gets in 4 weeks is what she gets in one week multiplied by 4

The teacher will earn a net income of $2,232.00 in 4 weeks after taxes are deducted.

Explanation
Histograms are used to present frequency of data of one variable over the other. On the other hand, a bar graph is used to compare the two variables with the rectangles not touching one another as in histograms. Scatter plots are used to show the correlations between two variables. In this case, the teacher will be able to use scatter plot to establish the correlation between test scores and the subjects.

: a ratio can be thought of a fraction of the form a/b, where b is not equal to zero. In ratio form, to means per.
Now, the class has 26 girls and 22 boys. Thus, the ratio of girls to boys becomes:
                      
The fraction above reduces into
                   
Â
In ratio form, girls: boys=13:11
Thus, the ratio of girls to boys in a class of 48 students is 13 to 11.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
we are asked to find the largest value from the options given. To solve this problem, we need to convert all the given values into fraction. Then find the least common denominator for all fractions, which we will use to multiply each fraction and make a comparison.
43÷
55=43/55
5/7
0.729=729/1000
73%=73/100
Now, we need to find the least common denominator of 55, 7, 1000, and 100, which is 77000. We multiply each fraction by 77000 as follows:
43/55*77000=60200
5/7*77000=55000
729/1000*77000=56133
73/100*77000=56210
Â
From the calculated values, it can be noted that 43/55 is the greatest value among the given options.
