Expressing 5 times the sum of 'r' and 's'

To find the expression that is 5 times as much as the sum of 'r' and 's', we multiply the sum of 'r' and 's' by 5. This is represented as (r + s) x 5.

Solving the equation 1/2X + 3/2(x + 1) - 1/4 = 5

The solution to the equation 1/2X + 3/2(x + 1) - 1/4 = 5 is 15/8. This can be found by simplifying the equation using algebraic techniques.

Converting kilograms to grams

There are 1,000 grams in 1 kilogram. Therefore, 500 kilograms is equal to 500,000 grams.

Equation of a line with given points

The equation of a line that crosses the y-axis at (0, 3) and passes through (4, 5) is y = 1/2x + 3. This is because the y-intercept is 3 and the slope can be calculated using the two given points.

Study Notes

Algebra and Expressions

  • The expression for 5 times the sum of r and s is written as (r + s) x 5, utilizing the correct order of operations.
  • To solve the equation 1/2X + 3/2(x + 1) - 1/4 = 5, simplify it to find the solution X = 15/8.

Conversions and Measurements

  • 500 kilograms is equivalent to 500,000 grams, as 1 kilogram equals 1,000 grams.
  • Water flows from a pump at 1.5 gallons per minute; it would take 100 minutes to fill a 150-gallon tub.

Graphs and Data Interpretation

  • In a sales graph, blueberry jam had the greatest increase in jars sold from Year 1 (10 jars) to Year 2 (18 jars), totaling an increase of 8 jars.
  • Population data from a table for five largest EU countries shows the mean population in 2014 is approximately 63.7 million.

Geometry and Volume

  • The formula for the volume of a right rectangular prism is Volume = Length x Width x Height. For a volume of 30 cubic inches and a height of 6 inches, the base area calculates to 5 square inches.

Ratios and Proportions

  • If a recipe calls for a ratio of 2 cups of water for every 3 cups of flour, using 8 cups of flour requires 5 1/3 cups of water, derived from the proportion 8 x (2/3).

Earnings

  • In Paul’s earnings equation M = 12.5h + 11, the number 11 represents additional money earned beyond the hourly rate.
