Solution

Let's go through the problems in the image one by one.

Problem 11:

The boiling point of water is 212°F. In degrees Celsius, how much will that 165°F water increase to boil?

To solve this, we use the formula: C=59×(F32)C = \frac{5}{9} \times (F - 32) where CC is the temperature in Celsius and FF is the temperature in Fahrenheit.

  1. Convert 212°F to Celsius: Cboiling=59×(21232)=59×180=100°CC_{\text{boiling}} = \frac{5}{9} \times (212 - 32) = \frac{5}{9} \times 180 = 100°C

  2. Convert 165°F to Celsius: Cinitial=59×(16532)=59×13373.89°CC_{\text{initial}} = \frac{5}{9} \times (165 - 32) = \frac{5}{9} \times 133 \approx 73.89°C

  3. Find the difference: ΔC=100°C73.89°C=26.11°C\Delta C = 100°C - 73.89°C = 26.11°C

The answer is approximately 26°C.

Problem 12:

A small theater sold 72 tickets for a play. The ratio of adult tickets to child tickets was 4:1.

  • Part A: Draw a diagram and make a table to represent the types of tickets sold.

Let's assume xx is the number of child tickets. Since the ratio is 4:1, the number of adult tickets would be 4x4x. The total number of tickets sold is: x+4x=725x=72x=725=14.4x + 4x = 72 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 5x = 72 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = \frac{72}{5} = 14.4 However, since ticket numbers must be whole numbers, let's consider:

  • Child tickets =14= 14
  • Adult tickets =4×14=56= 4 \times 14 = 56

This calculation needs to be adjusted or clarified since fractional tickets aren't realistic. The correct integer distribution should be calculated with the correct ratio adjustments. I recommend rechecking this since the correct sum needs to match 72.

  • Part B: The diagram should visually depict the tickets sold.

Problem 13:

Use the given set of coordinates to write the reflection across the y-axis of each point on the left.

For each point (x,y)(x, y), the reflection across the y-axis is (x,y)(-x, y).

  • (2,3)(2,3)(2, -3) \rightarrow (-2, -3)
  • (4,8)(4,8)(-4, 8) \rightarrow (4, 8)
  • (2,7)(2,7)(-2, 7) \rightarrow (2, 7)

So, the reflected coordinates are (2,3),(4,8),(2,7)(-2, -3), (4, 8), (2, 7).

Problem 14:

The drama club spent $608 on food for a party. If there are 15 members and each paid an equal amount, how much did each member pay?

  • Part A: Write an equation: 15x=60815x = 608

  • Part B: Solve the equation: x=6081540.53x = \frac{608}{15} \approx 40.53

Each member paid approximately $40.53.

Problem 15:

Complete the Venn diagram to show the common factors of 63 and 45. Then circle the greatest common factor.

The factors are:

  • 63: 1,3,7,9,21,631, 3, 7, 9, 21, 63
  • 45: 1,3,5,9,15,451, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45

Common factors: 1,3,91, 3, 9.

The greatest common factor is 9.
