How to answer:

#20:
add mo yung numbers sa ratio. 3+4+5 = 12
then gawin mong fraction yung number sa ratio.
3/12 : 4/12 : 5/12

cesar = 3/12 bert = 4/12 danny = 5/12

multiply mo na yung kay danny sa 24 para makuha yung hours ni danny.
5/12 * 24 = 10
then multiply 10 sa rate which is P50.
P500 po yung sagot :)

#24:
First, you have to solve for the hypotenuse of both triangles.
Let x be the hypotenuse of the smaller triangle
y be the hypotenuse of the larger triangle
by Pythagorean theorem:
x=[(9^2)+(12^2)]
x=15

y=[(12^2)+(16^2)]
y=20

Then subtract the perimeter of the smaller triangle from the larger triangle
(12+16+y)-(9+12+x)
(12+16+20)-(9+12+15)
48-36
12

#6:
# 6 ==> 5 different counting numbers, the average is 100, what is possible highest number of one
number?
Trial and error po.

First determine the total of the 5 numbers.

Since the average is 20, it suggests that the total of the 5 numbers is 100 ( because 100/5 = 20)
If we try 90, the total of the remaining 4 numbers should equal 10 ( 100 - 90 = 10)
Find 4 different numbers that totals 10 ==> 1, 2, 3, & 4 = 10
So the 90 is the highest possible number of one number in the group.

#2:
60+80+100+75+95=410/5=82
60 of 82 = 22
80 of 82 = 2
100 of 82 = 18
75 of 82 = 7
95 of 82 = 13

22+2+18+7+13=62/5=12.4

#17:
No. 17...Volume in cubic inches

Given: 1.5 feet by 1 1/2 feet by 3 inches

The formula of volume is side x side x side (or edge x edge x edge)
Since the volume is to be in the form cubic inches, we need to convert all the measurement in
inches:
1.5 feet = 1.5 x 12 inches = 18 inches
1 1/2 feet is the same as 1.5 feet = 18 inches
3 inches is already in inches
Then just multiply the measurements = 18x18x 3 = 972 cubic inches

#2:
Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) is simply calculating the positive distance (absolute value) of the
mean from each data point and divided by the number of data points.

In No. 2 , the data points are 60, 80, 100, 75, & 95
The number of data points is 5.
To get the mean, simple add all the data points and then divide by the number of data points.
(Parang averaging lang)
Mean = 60+80+100+75+95 = 410/5 = 82
Then the positive (absolute distance of the mean from each data points:
| 60 - 82 | = 22
| 80 - 82 | = 2
| 100 - 82 | = 18
| 75 - 82 | = 7
| 95 - 82 | = 13
Then add all the distances and divide by the number of data points
MAD = 22+2+18+7+13 = 62/5 = 12.40 Letter A

#11:
Try mong gawing decimal ung my fraction...halimbawa dun sa dulo...20 3/4 gawin mong 20.75......3
devide 4 is 0.75....gawin mo rin dun sa iba makukuha mo na sagot

#1:
8:00 pm they start to part ways, and the question is how many kilometers apart after 10:00 pm, so
the one that traveling north with a rate of 30kph (kilometer per Hour)using that rate we multiply it by
two because the difference of 8:00 and 10:00 is 2hours. so the distance of the bus that traveling
north from the starting point is 60km. the same thing with the bus that travels east, multiply it and it
obtain 80km far from the starting point. so not using an illustration you form a right angle. to get the
distance of the two, use the pythagorean theorem (c^2 = a^2 +b^2)

Let a = distance of bus traveling north from the starting point which is 60km
and b = distance of bus traveling east from the starting point which is 80km

c^2 = 60^2 + 80^2

then you'll obtain the distance of 100km

#21:
#21. A retailer buys candies for P90.25. The pack has 35 pieces of candies. If she sells each candy
for P2.25, how much profit does she make?
2.25*35=78.75
90-78.75=11.25

But suppose to be the price of each candy is more than 2.50 or 2.60 because
90.25/35=2.5785714 or 2.58

#4:
sa number 4 po ba ganito po ba process ng pag solve? distribution property, then transpose po.
kasi po wala pong nakaindicate na choices D po.
0.4(5x-1470)=x
0.4(5x)-0.4(1470)=x
2x-588=x
2x=588
2x/2=588/2
x=294

#27:
1 yard = 36 inches
1 yard^2 = 1296 inches^2
2 yard^2 = 2592 in^2

or,
2 yards = 72 inches
(2 yards = 72 in)^2
4 yards^2 = 5184 in^2
2 yards^2 = 2592

#1:
First, you have to get each other's distance after 2 hours:
North: d=st=30(2)=60
East: d=st=40(2)=80
Then, you have to apply Pythagorean Theorem in order to get the distance r^2 = a^2 + b^2 = 60^2 +
80^2 = 3600 + 6400=10 000
Get the square root of 10, 000 to get r= 100 km.

#14:
Answer to number 14 is B. 3,775

Using Gauss formula... the sum of 1 to n = n(n+1)/ 2

1 to 50 = 50(50+1)/2 = 1275
1 to 100 = 100(100+1)/2 = 5050
So, 5050 - 1275 = 3,775
