A student performs the following estimations. 26+180210 115+391510 497+20242520 Based on these estimations, which of the following is the student’s estimate of 545+7501?

A. 8030

B. 8060

C. 8160

D. 8050

Answer Explanation:

From the given estimations, we can find the exact sum after adding the given numbers and see the trend the student utilizes to find their estimates. The actual sum is as follows

26+180=206

115+391=506

497+2024=2521

From the above evaluation, the students round the exact sum to the nearest tens. So, in the problem we need to approximate 545+7501.

545+7501=8046

The exact sum is 8046 and the approximate value after rounding to the nearest tens is 8050.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is D.

  • Q #1: When the weights of the newborn babies are graphed, the distribution of weights is symmetric with the majority of weights centered around a single peak. Which of the following describes the shape of this distribution?

    A. Uniform

    B. Bimodal

    C. Bell-shaped

    D. Skewed right

    Answer Explanation

    The distribution of the weights of the newborn babies is symmetric meaning the mean, mode, and median are all equal. Thus, the bell-shape curve describes this kind of distribution of weights

  • Q #2: A teacher has asked all the students in the class which data visualizer he will use to show relationship between their scores and number of subjects. Which of the following is the best way to display the frequency of each day of the week?

    A. Histogram

    B. Scatterplot

    C. Pie graph

    D. Bar graph

    Answer Explanation

    Histograms are used to present frequency of data of one variable over the other. On the other hand, a bar graph is used to compare the two variables with the rectangles not touching one another as in histograms. Scatter plots are used to show the correlations between two variables. In this case, the teacher will be able to use scatter plot to establish the correlation between test scores and the subjects.

  • Q #3: If x represents the width of a rectangle and length is six less than two times the width, which of the following expressions represents the length of the rectangle in terms of x?

    A. 2x-6

    B. 6-2x

    C. 6x-2

    D. 3x-4

    Answer Explanation

    To form an equation from the word problem, first break the given statement into smaller statements.

    First, we are given the width of the rectangle as x. We are told, the length is two times width. Mathematically, this means

    Length=2*width=2*x=2x

    Now, the length is 6 less than 2 times width of the rectangle. Thus, the length of rectangle in terms of width becomes:

    Length =2x-6

    Thus, the length of the rectangle is 2x-6.
