Jorge is 5{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”5″} feet 8{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”8″} inches tall.  Convert his height to inches.

In a recent survey of college students, it was determined that 3{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”3″} out of 4{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”4″} students drink coffee.  Of those students who drink coffee, 3{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”3″} out of 8{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”8″} students add cream.  If a college campus has 24000{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”24000″} students, how many students drink coffee with cream? 

Translate the following phrase into an algebraic expression: “8{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”8″} times 4{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”4″} less than twice x{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”x”}.”

Derrick borrowed an 18{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”18″}-foot extension ladder to paint his house.  If he sets the base of the ladder 5{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”5″} feet from the house, how far up along the side of the house will the top of the ladder reach?  (Round your answer to the nearest tenth.) 

Convert: 12{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”12″} kilograms = __________ milligrams

Simplify: 45÷3+6·2{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”45÷3+6·2″}

Convert: 100°F{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”100°F”} = __________ °C{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”°C”}  (Round your answer to the nearest tenth.) 

Add the expressions below:  

Given: x2+5x-8{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”x2+5x-8″}.  Evaluate the expression if x=4{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”x=4″}.

The temperature in Anchorage, Alaska was -34°F{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”-34°F”} at 6{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”6″} am.  By afternoon, the temperature had risen 25{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”25″} degrees.  What was the afternoon temperature (in °F{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”°F”})?
