Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Set up proportion
The scale is 1 inch = 50 miles. Let $x$ be the distance on the map for 425 miles. The proportion is $\frac{1}{50}=\frac{x}{425}$.
Answer:
J. $\frac{1}{50}=\frac{x}{425}$
Explanation:
Step1: Check divisibility by 2
An odd - number is not divisible by 2. 372244, 450320, 760216 are divisible by 2. 820371 is not divisible by 2.
Answer:
D. 820371
Explanation:
Step1: Prime - factorize 300
$300=2\times150 = 2\times2\times75=2\times2\times3\times25 = 2^{2}\times3\times5^{2}$.
Answer:
H. $2^{2}\times3\times5^{2}$
Explanation:
Step1: Solve the expression inside parentheses
$7 - 4=3$.
Step2: Calculate the exponent
$3^{2}=9$.
Step3: Multiply
$8\times9 = 72$, $3\times2\times5=30$.
Step4: Add and divide
$72 + 30=102$, $\frac{102}{2}=51$.
Answer:
B. 51
Explanation:
Step1: Recall temperature units
Temperature is measured in degrees. Meters measure length, liters measure volume, grams measure mass.
Answer:
J. degrees
Explanation:
Step1: Recall temperature - measuring instruments
A thermometer is used to measure temperature. A micrometer measures small lengths, a stick is not a standard temperature - measuring instrument, a ruler measures length.
Answer:
C. thermometer
Explanation:
Step1: Calculate the perimeter of a rectangle
The area is 130 feet by 225 feet. The perimeter of a rectangle $P = 2(l + w)=2(130 + 225)=2\times355 = 710$ feet.
Answer:
H. 710 feet
Explanation:
Step1: Calculate the area of the park
The area of the park $A_{1}=560\times700 = 392000$ square meters.
Step2: Calculate the area of the used part
The area of the used part $A_{2}=250\times150 = 37500$ square meters.
Step3: Calculate the remaining area
$A = A_{1}-A_{2}=392000 - 37500=354500$ square meters.
Answer:
C. 354,500 square meters
Explanation:
Step1: Recall paint - estimation
To estimate the number of cans of paint needed to paint the walls of a living room, we need to know the area of the living - room walls.
Answer:
J. the area of the living room walls
Explanation:
Step1: Identify the shape
The figure shown is a cylinder. A circle is a 2 - D shape, a hemisphere is half of a sphere, a sphere is a completely round 3 - D shape.
Answer:
B. cylinder
