Answer for Question number 106-125
106. A: The area of the room is equal to the product of 10 ft and 12 ft, or 120 ft². 120 ft² = 13.3 yd², so the total cost is equal to the product of the area of the room, or 13.3 yd² and $12.51 (the cost per square yard). It will cost $166.80 to carpet the room.
107. A: The perimeter of the house is equal to 132 feet, since there are 3 feet in 1 yard. The perimeter of the house may be represented by the equation, 2l + 2w = 132. Substituting 36 for l gives 2(36) + 2w = 132. Solving for w gives w = 30, which is measured in feet. 30 feet = 10 yards, so the width of the house is also equal to 10 yards.
108. B: The volume of a cylinder is represented by the equation, V=πr2 h, where r represents the radius and h represents the height. Substituting 3 for r and 8 for h gives V=π(3)2 (8), or V = 72π. Thus, the volume is approximately 226.2 cubic units.
109. E: The volume of a cube is represented by the equation, V=s3, where s represents one side length. Substituting 5 for s gives V=53, or V = 125. The volume of the cube is 125 cubic inches.
110. D: The sum of the material is equal to 7 yd, 5 ft, 19 in, which may also be written as 7 yd, 6 ft, 7 in, or 9 ft, 7 in.
111. B: The volume of a cylinder is represented by the equation, V=πr2h, where r represents the radius and h represents the height. Substituting 1.5 for r and 8 for h gives V=π(1.5)2 (8), or V = 18π. Thus, the volume is approximately 56.55 cubic inches.
112. C: The area of a square is represented by the formula, A=s2. Substituting 16 for A gives: 16=s2. Solving for s shows each side length to be 4 feet. Thus, the perimeter is equal to the product of 4 and 4 ft, or 16 ft.
113. B: Liters measure capacity and are appropriate for the size of a bathtub. Milliliters are also a measurement of capacity, but are too small a measurement for such a large container.
114. D: A length of 0.17 feet is equal to 2.04 inches. The following proportion may be used to determine the length, in inches: 0.17/x=1/12. A length of 2.1875 inches is the closest to this measurement.
115. A: The area may be represented as A = WL, measured in yards, or A = 9WL, measured in feet. Thus, the charge is equal to the product of 9WL and 0.10 or 0.9WL.
116. C: The following proportion may be used to find the measurement, in centimeters: 1/2.54=76/x. Solving for x gives x = 193.04. The man is 193.04 cm tall.
117. A: The volume of a rectangular prism is equal to the product of the length, width, and height. Thus, the volume of the room may be represented as V=11.12.9, which equals 1188 ft³.
118. B: The number of mg left is equal to the difference of 500 mg and 325 mg, or 175 mg.
119. C: The following proportion may be used to find the number of mL to be given: 4/5=20/x. Solving for x gives x = 25. Thus, 25 mL need to be given.
120. C: The product of these dimensions is 1,680 ft³ (14 ft × 20 ft × 6 ft), thus this aquarium meets the required volume.
121. C: The equation, x-0.10x-0.15(x-0.10x)=306, may be used to solve the problem. Solving for x gives 0.90x - 0.15x + 0.015x = 306, where x = 400. Thus, the original price was $400.
122. B: The equation may be solved by first distributing the y across the expression, x - 1, on the left side of the equation. Doing so gives: xy - y = Z. Adding y to both sides of the equation gives: xy = Z + y. Finally, division of both sides of the equation by y gives: x=(Z+y)/y or x=Z/y+1.
123. B: This problem illustrates the distributive property of multiplication over addition. The factor being distributed may not change.
124. D: The measure of the third angle of the triangle is equal to 180°-(15° + 85°), or 80°.
125. C: Since there are 32 ounces in 2 pounds (16 ounces = 1 pound), the following proportion may be written: 5/140=32/x . Solving for x gives x = 896. Thus, there are 896 grams in 2 pounds of meat.
