Seven bananas contain 3.5 milligrams of Vitamin B6. How many bananas contain 9.31 milligrams of Vitamin B6? Round to the nearest tenth.
Correct Answer
18.6 bananasExplanation
To find out how many bananas contain 9.31 milligrams of Vitamin B6, we can set up a proportion using the given information. We know that 7 bananas contain 3.5 milligrams of Vitamin B6. So, we can set up the proportion as 7 bananas is to 3.5 milligrams of Vitamin B6, as x bananas is to 9.31 milligrams of Vitamin B6. Solving this proportion, we can cross multiply and get 7 * 9.31 = 3.5 * x. Simplifying this equation, we get x = (7 * 9.31) / 3.5 = 18.6 bananas. Therefore, 18.6 bananas contain 9.31 milligrams of Vitamin B6.Rate this question:

A worker at a tire shop can install 4 new tires in 1.3 hours. At this rate, how long would it take the worker to install new tires for 75 cars if each car will receive 4 tires?
Correct Answer
97.5 hours
97 hours and 30 minutes
97 hours & 30 minutesExplanation
The worker can install 4 new tires in 1.3 hours. Since each car will receive 4 tires, we can divide the number of cars (75) by 4 to get the number of sets of 4 tires. 75 divided by 4 is 18.75. Therefore, it would take the worker approximately 18.75 times the amount of time it takes to install 4 tires, which is 1.3 hours. Multiplying 18.75 by 1.3 gives us 24.375 hours. Converting this to hours and minutes, we get 24 hours and 37.5 minutes, which can be rounded to 24 hours and 30 minutes. Adding this to the original 1.3 hours, the total time would be approximately 25.3 hours or 25 hours and 18 minutes.Rate this question:

Terry paid $8.75 for 5 pounds of pears. At this rate, how many pounds of pears could she buy with $61.25. Remember to include your unit of measurement.
Correct Answer
35lb
35 lb
35 poundsExplanation
At a rate of $8.75 for 5 pounds of pears, we can calculate the cost per pound by dividing the total cost by the number of pounds. In this case, the cost per pound is $8.75/5 = $1.75 per pound. To find out how many pounds of pears Terry can buy with $61.25, we can divide the total amount of money by the cost per pound. Thus, $61.25/$1.75 = 35 pounds. Therefore, Terry can buy 35 pounds of pears with $61.25.Rate this question:

You find that your watch gains 2 minutes in 6 hours. How much will it gain in 3 days? Remember to include your unit of measurement.
Correct Answer
24 minutes
24 minExplanation
If the watch gains 2 minutes in 6 hours, we can calculate the gain per hour by dividing 2 minutes by 6 hours, which equals 0.33 minutes per hour. Since there are 24 hours in a day, the watch will gain 0.33 minutes per hour * 24 hours = 7.92 minutes per day. Therefore, in 3 days, the watch will gain 7.92 minutes per day * 3 days = 23.76 minutes, which can be rounded to 24 minutes.Rate this question:

Blast from the past........... Solve the two-step equation. x is equal to2x + 6 = -12
Correct Answer
-9
x = -9Explanation
The given equation is 2x + 6 = -12. To solve this equation, we need to isolate the variable x. We can start by subtracting 6 from both sides of the equation, which gives us 2x = -18. Then, we divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for x, which gives us x = -9. Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -9.Rate this question:
