M is 20% less than N means
M is 100-20=80% of N
M=0.80 N
M/N = 0.8 = 4/5
Ratio: 4/5

When we know <em>a, </em>the average, and <em>n, </em>how many numbers there are, we know the sum <em>s</em>, because <em>a=s/n </em>so <em>s=na.</em>
So the sum of our six numbers is 6(3.5)=21 so the sum of the seven numbers is 21+4.2=25.2 so the average is 25.2/7 = 3.6
Answer: 3.6

|2p + 4 | < 3
At p=-2 the absolute value is zero. As p gets more negative the absolute value argument (inside part) gets negative and the absolute value gets bigger, more positive. Eventually the inside will be exactly -3, when
2p +4 = -3
2p = -7
p = -7/2 = -3 1/2
So p=-4 will make the inequality false, and p=-3 is the smallest integer that makes the inequality true.
Answer: -3

The distance from the origin is given by the Pythagorean Theorem and this one is a 3/4/5 right triangle:
Answer: .5 or 1/2
Given:
Volume of the prism = 60 in³
Breadth = 2.5 in
Height = 4 in.
To find:
The length of the prism.
Solution:
We know that, volume of a prism is
where, l is length, b is breadth and h is height.
Putting V=60, b=2.5 and h=4, we get
Divide both sides by 10.
Therefore, the missing dimension of the prism is 6 in.
A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of the digits of the number is divisible by 3.This statement is a conditional statement. However, it is not in its standard form. A conditional statement is known as an If-then statement.
It should be written as:
If the sum of the digits of the number is divisible by 3 then a number is divisible by 3.
There are two parts of a conditional statement. The first part is the hypothesis, the second part is the conclusion. The hypothesis starts with "if". The conclusion starts with "then".
The conclusion of the conditional statement is THEN A NUMBER IS DIVISIBLE BY 3.
Draw a vector triangle. When you draw the horizontal and vertical components, you end up with a right triangle. The magnitude of the vector is equal to the hypotenuse of the triangle so you can use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate it. Rearrange the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the magnitude
This is a statistics problem on permutation and combination. To differentiate this, permutation involves on the arrangement in which order doesn't matter. For combination, order matters.
For example, if you arrange A, B and C, for permutation it could be AB, BA, CA, AC, BC and CB. But for combination, it would just be AB, AC and BC.
So, in this problem where he is asked to arrange 8 jars in which order doesn't matter. It is permutation. You can solve this just by calculator. The formula would be nPr, where n is the total number of items while r is the number of items to be sorted. Thus,
nPr = 10P8 = 1, 814,400
Thus, the answer is B.
