Answer: 1/4
Given : On average, Carson spends about 26% of his allowance each month on candy and soft drinks.
To Find : When creating a circle graph of what Carson does with his money, which of the following fractions would be the best to represent how much he spends on food?
If these are your Choices:
A) 1/4
B) 1/3
C) 3/4
D) 1/2
Solution:
To Convert fraction into % multiply by 100
(1/4) * 100 = 25 %
(1/3) * 100 = 33.33 %
(3/4) * 100 = 75 %
(1/2) * 100 = 50 %
Therefore 1/4 fraction best represent how much he spends on food
C) Having a savings account gives individuals the ability to borrow money from members in the community
A savings account definitely can help you with A and B. While D may sound a bit dramatic, a responsible savings routine and a savings account with a healthy balance can make great things happen. However, a savings account does not give you the ability to borrow money from members in the community. This is not a feature of a savings account.
Nigel needs 5 bags in order to put each five slices in their own bag.
Since the perimeter must not exceed 291.
Let the third side be x.
x + 87 + 64 < 291
x + 151 < 291.
x < 291 -151.
x < 140. (First)
But for a triangle there is what is called the Triangle Inequality Theorem. That given the two sides of a tringle, the third side of the triangle must greater than the positive difference between the two sides and less than the sum of the two sides.
So for this case. 87 and 64.
x > ( 87 - 64). x > 23.
x < (87 + 64) x < 151. Combine both inequalities.
23 < x < 151 (second).
Combining First and second. Both must be satisfied.
So we have a more accurate answer as:
23 < x < 140. x is greater than 23 and x is less than 140.
x could be 24, 25, 26, 27, ......, 139. cm.
I hope this helps.
