Let x be the value of the plow. Since the tractor is worth seven times as much as the plow, the tractor is worth 7x. Since their combined worth is $1200, the sum of x and 7x is 1200. x + 7 x = 1200 8 x = 1200 8 x 1200 = 8 8 x = 150 The plow is worth $150 and the tractor is worth 7($150) = $1050. 50. Let x be the maximum length (in yards) of a soccer field for under-6-year-olds. Since the maximum length of a under-13-year-old soccer field is 80 yards longer than the length for under6-year-olds, the maximum length for a under-13-year-old soccer field is x + 80. Since the total length for these two categories of soccer fields is 140 yards, the sum of x and x + 80 is 140. x + x + 80 = 140 2 x + 80 = 140 2 x + 80 − 80 = 140 − 80 2 x = 60 2 x 60 = 2 2 x = 30 The maximum length of a soccer field for under6-year-olds is 30 yards, and the maximum length of a under-13-year-old soccer field is 30 + 80 = 110 yards. 52. Let x be the number of points scored by the University of Connecticut Huskies. Since the South Carolina Gamecocks scored 15 points more than the Huskies, the Gamecocks scored x + 15 points.

Terms that are exactly the same, except that they may have different numerical coefficients, are called like terms. 3. A letter used to represent a number is called a variable. 4. A combination of operations on variables and numbers is called an algebraic expression. 5. The addends of an algebraic expression are called the terms of the expression. 6. The number factor of a variable term is called the numerical coefficient. 7. Replacing a variable in an expression by a number and then finding the value of the expression is called evaluating the expression for the variable. 8. A term that is a number only is called a constant. 9. An equation is of the form expression = expression. 10. A solution of an equation is a value for the variable that makes an equation a true statement. 11. To multiply −3(2x + 1), we use the distributive property. 12. By the multiplication property of equality, we may multiply or divide both sides of an equation by any nonzero number without changing the solution of the equation. 90

Chapter 4 Vocabulary Check 1. Two numbers are reciprocals of each other if their product is 1. 2. A composite number is a natural number greater than 1 that is not prime. 3. Fractions that represent the same portion of a whole are called equivalent fractions.

72. To round 576 to the nearest hundred, observe that the digit in the tens place is 7. Since this digit is at least 5, we add 1 to the digit in the hundreds place. 576 rounded to the nearest hundred is 600. 74. To round 2333 to the nearest ten, observe that the digit in the ones place is 3. Since this digit is less than 5, we do not add 1 to the digit in the tens place. 2333 rounded to the nearest ten is 2330.

4. An improper fraction is a fraction whose numerator is greater than or equal to its denominator. 5. A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 whose only factors are 1 and itself. 6. A fraction is in simplest form when the numerator and the denominator have no factors in common other than 1.

We just need to know how to move the decimal point. 1000 has three zeros, so we move the decimal point in the decimal number three places to the left. 8. This actually means 4 divides into 1 zero times, so we place a zero in the quotient. 9.

Vocabulary, Readiness & Video Check 5.7 1. Another word for “mean” is average. 2. The number that occurs most often in a set of numbers is called the mode. 3. The mean (or average) of a set of number items sum of items is . number of items 4. The median of a set of numbers is the middle number. If the number of numbers is even, it is the mean (or average) of the two middle numbers. 5. An example of weighted mean is a calculation of grade point average. 6. The answer is not exact; it’s an approximation since we rounded to the nearest tenth. 7. Place the data numbers in numerical order (or verify that they already are). 8. All occurrences of a number will be grouped together, making it easier to locate and count numbers that occur more than once.

Median: Write the numbers in order: 0.1, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.8 The middle number is 0.6. Mode: Since 0.6 and 0.8 occur twice, there are two modes, 0.6 and 0.8. 8.

d. The mode has the greatest frequency, so the mode is 62. Vocabulary, Readiness & Video Check 8.1

Exercise Set 8.1 2. South Dakota has the least number of wheat symbols, so the least amount of wheat acreage was planted in South Dakota. 4. Kansas is represented by 7.5 wheat symbols, and each symbol represents 1 million acres, so there were approximately 7.5(1 million) = 7.5 million or 7,500,000 acres of wheat planted in Kansas. 6. Each wheat symbol represents 1 million acres, so look for any states that have more than 6 million = 6 wheat symbols. Texas and Kansas 1 million have more than 6 wheat symbols, so these states plant more than 6,000,000 acres of wheat. 8. North Dakota and Oklahoma each have 6 wheat symbols. The same acreage of wheat is planted in North Dakota and Oklahoma.

1. A bar graph presents data using vertical or horizontal bars.

10. 2022 has 5.5 flames and each flame represents 12,000 wildfires, so there were approximately 5.5(12,000) = 66,000 wildfires in 2022.

2. A pictograph is a graph in which pictures or symbols are used to visually present data.

12. The year with the fewest flames is 2019, so the fewest wildfires occurred in 2019.

3. A line graph displays information with a line that connects data points.

14. 2021 has 5 flames and 2022 has 5

4. A histogram is a special bar graph in which the width of each bar represents a class interval and the height of each bar represents the class frequency. 5. range = greatest data value − smallest data value n +1 can be used to find the 2 position of the median.

which is

16. Since each flame represents 12,000 wildfires, look for the years that have fewer than 60, 000 = 5 flames. There were fewer than 12, 000 60,000 wildfires in 2018 and 2019. 18. The shortest bar corresponds to November, so the month in which the fewest hurricanes made landfall is November. 20. The length of the bar for October is 61, so approximately 61 hurricanes made landfall in October. 22. One of 111 hurricanes made landfall in 1 ≈ 0.009 or September 2007. The percent is 111 about 0.9%.

24. The shortest bar corresponds to Sao Paulo, Brazil and the length of the bar is about 21.7. The metropolitan area with the smallest population is Sao Paulo, Brazil and its population is about 21.7 million or 21,700,000.

40. 29 of the adults drive 0−49 miles per week and 17 of the adults drive 50−99 miles per week, so 29 − 17 = 12 more adults drive 0−49 miles per week than 50−99 miles per week.

26. The bar between 24 and 25 corresponds to Seoul, South Korea.

42. 17 of the 100 adults surveyed drive 50−99 miles 17 per week, so the ratio is . 100

28. The bar corresponding to Jakarta, Indonesia has length about 30 and the bar corresponding to Seoul, South Korea has length about 24. Thus, Jakarta, Indonesia is about 30 − 24 = 6 million larger than Seoul, South Korea.

44. The shortest bar corresponds to under 25, so the least number of U.S. householders were in the under 25 age range. 46. According to the graph, approximately 23 million U.S. householders were 35−44 years old.

30.

48. The sum of the last three bars is 24 + 21 + 15 = 60, so approximately 60 million U.S. householders were 55 years old or older. 50. The height of the bar for 45−54 is 22 and the height of the bar for 75 and over is 15. So, approximately 22 − 15 = 7 million more U.S. householders were 45−54 years old than 75 and over.

13. The point on the graph corresponding to 2016 is about 970. There were approximately 970 medals awarded at the Summer Olympics in 2016.

1. Midwest has 2.5 houses, and each house represents 60,000 homes, so there were 2.5(60,000) = 150,000 new homes constructed in the Midwest. 2. South has 10 houses, and each house represents 60,000 homes, so there were 10(60,000) = 600,000 new homes constructed in the South. 3. South has the greatest number of houses, so the most new homes constructed were in the South. 4. Northeast has the least number of houses, so the fewest new homes constructed were in the Northeast. 5. Each house represents 60,000 homes, so look for 300, 000 = 5 or more houses. the regions with 60, 000 The South had 300,000 or more new homes constructed. 6. Each house represents 60,000 homes, so look for 300, 000 = 5 houses. the regions with fewer than 60, 000 The Northeast, Midwest, and West had fewer than 300,000 new homes constructed. 7. The height of the bar representing 2010 is 30. Thus, approximately 30% of persons completed four or more years of college in 2010. 8. The tallest bar corresponds to 2020. Thus, the greatest percent of persons completing four or more years of college was in 2020.

14. The point on the graph corresponding to 2020 is about 1080. There were approximately 1080 medals awarded at the Summer Olympics in 2020. 15. The points on the graph corresponding to 2008 and 2004 are 960 and 930, respectively. There were 960 − 930 = 30 more medals awarded in 2008 than in 2004. 16. The points on the graph corresponding to 2020 and 2016 are 1080 and 970, respectively. There were 1080 − 970 = 110 more medals awarded in 2020 than in 2016. 17. The height of the bar corresponding to 41−45 is 1. Thus, 1 employee works 41−45 hours per week. 18. The height of the bar corresponding to 21−25 is 4. Thus, 4 employees work 21−25 hours per week. 19. Add the heights of the bars corresponding to 16−20, 21−25, and 26−30. Thus, 6 + 4 + 8 = 18 employees work 30 hours or less per week. 20. Add the heights of the bars corresponding to 36−40 and 41−45. Thus, 8 + 1 = 9 employees work 36 or more hours per week. Class Interval (Temperatures)
