Study Notes
Ratios and Proportions
- Ratio of boys to girls in a classroom with 13 boys and 15 girls is 13:15.
- Width to length ratio of a rectangle can be expressed equivalently, for example, 1:3 is equivalent to 21:63.
Finance and Payments
- A consumer pays a $400 down payment on a $1,570 television, resulting in 12 months of payments at $100 each.
- A consumer's net annual salary is calculated at $22,584 after withholding $468 from a gross paycheck of $2,350 monthly.
- A 20% down payment on a $20,000 house amounts to $4,000.
Measurements and conversions
- 1 meter is equivalent to 1,000 milliliters, so a 0.5L glass holds 500ml.
- A bucket that can hold 3L can also hold 3,000ml.
- 95°F converts to approximately 35°C using the formula C=(5/9)(F-32).
Geometry and Area
- A rectangle with a width of 4 inches and an area of 32 in² has a length of 8 inches.
- The area of a basketball court is stated as 4,700 square feet.
Algebra and Equations
- The equation -9(k-17)=-54 resolves to k=23.
- The expression (½)(10t)=50,000 simplifies to t=10,000.
- An equation expressing "seven more than twice a number is equal to twenty-one" is represented as 2x + 7 = 21.
Fractions and Decimals
- 5/7 - 2/9 simplifies to 31/63.
- The decimal 0.897 is equivalent to the fraction 897/1000.
