Solve for w in the equation below.
A. w=rxy+z
B. w=(x/ry)+(z/r)
C. w=y(z+rx)
D. w=(x/ry)-(z/r)
We are asked to make w the subject of the formula.
First, we rearrange the equation by to ensure w is on the right hand of the equation.
Then, divide both sides by r
Multiply both sides by y
The above equation can be rearranged into
Thus, the formula for finding the value of w is (x/ry)-(z/r).
Therefore, the Correct Answer is D.

Q #1: A circle has an area of 64π in2. Which of the following is the circumference of the circle in terms of pi ( π)?
A. 9 π in
B. 16 π in
C. 4 π in
D. 8 π in
Answer Explanation
we need determine the radius of the circle before we can find the circumference of the circle from the given area.
Let r be the radius of the circle, then
Substituting the value of area
Dividing both sides by pi and taking square root on both sides yields
Now, the radius of the circle is 8 in. and the circumference of the circle is given by the relation:

Q #2: A baker is using a cookie recipe that calls for 3 ¼ cups of flour to yield 64 cookies. How much flour will the baker need to make 130 cookies using the same recipe?
A. 6 77/128 cups
B. 5 5/128 cups
C. 10 1/28 cups
D. 4 81/128 cups
Answer Explanation
we are asked to find the number of cups of flour that will be used to make 130 cookies.
First, we convert 3 ¼ into improper fraction as:
Letting x to be the number of cups of flour, we set up a proportion equation with number of cookies on numerator and number of cups of flour on the denominator becomes:
Solve the value of x by cross-products
Dividing both sides by 64, the above equation result to
Thus, the number of cups of flour needed to make 130 cookies is 845/128 cups, which is equal to 6 77/128 cups.

Q #3: Which of the following is the best approximation of 5 times the positive square root of 29?
A. 100.0
B. 44.7
C. 20.5
D. 26.9
Answer Explanation
we use the calculator to determine the positive square root of 20, which is then multiplied by 20.
Using the calculator,
Multiplying the square root above with 5 becomes
The approximate value is 26.9.
