A baker is using a cookie recipe that call for 2 ¼ cups of flour to yield 36 cookies. How much flour will the baker need to make 90 cookies using the same recipe?
6 ¾ cups
5 5/8 cups
10 1/8 cups
4 ¾ cups
Correct Answer : B
We are asked to find the number of cups of flour that will be used to make 90 cookies.
Letting x be the number of cups of flour and setting the proportion equation with number of cookies on numerator and number of cups of flour on the denominator. We have

Solve the value of x by cross-multiplying

We convert the mixed fraction into improper fraction in order to carry out multiplication

\(x =\ \frac{9}{4}\ cups\ *\ 90\ cookies\ *\ \frac{1}{36}\ cookies\)
The number of cups of flour needed to make 90 cookies is 5.625 cups, which is equal to 5 5/8 cups(Choice B).

Correct Answer is D
Explanation
In this problem, we need to compare the number of dimes to quarters.
If we let n be number of pennies in the bottle. Then,
Number of quarters in the bottle = 2n
Number of nickels in the bottle = 4n
Number of dimes in the bottle =5(4n)=20n
Now relating dimes to quarters, we have

Thus, there are 10 times as many dimes as quarters in the box.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
We are asked to find the one of the lengths of a right-angled triangle, we use the Pythagoras theorem to find the unknown length.
First, we label the triangle as below and let the unknown length be x.

Then, we apply the Pythagoras theorem to find the value of x as:
\(a^2+b^2=c^2\)


The value of the unknown length is approximately 8.9 feet.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
To find the greatest number from the given options, we first convert the decimal numbers into fractions.
-0.7 becomes 7/10
-1.3 becomes 13/10
Then, we find the LCM for the denominators of the given fractions. The LCM of 3 and 10 is 30. Now we can multiply each fraction with the LCM.
-2/3*30=-20
-7/10*30=-70
-13/10*30=-39
-4/3*30=-40
Comparing the obtained values from above, -20 is the greatest followed by -39, -40, -70 in that order. The fraction -2/3 gave a value of -20, which was the greatest value. Thus, -2/3 is the greatest value from the given option.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
We are being asked to find the amount of milk needed. This is a proportion problem, which compares the amount of flour to that of milk. Letting x represent the amount of milk required, we set up the proportion with flour on the numerator and amount of milk in denominator as follows:

Change the mixed fraction of 1 1/5 into improper fraction as follows

The proportion equation becomes

Cross-multiply to solve for x




As an mixed fraction, 36/5 becomes 7 1/5. Therefore, 7 1/5 cups of milk are needed to make a big batch of 2 cups.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
To find the cost-effective option, we need to find how much the consumer will spend for the given options:
2 packs of Orange and 1 pack of Cream Soda will cost $18+$5= $23
3 Packs of Orange will cost $18+$10=$28
2 packs of Root Beer and 1 pack of Cream Soda will cost 2($12)+$5=$29
5 packs of cream Soda will cost 5($5)=$25
From the above evaluation, the consumer will spend $23 for a cost effective package of soft drinks. Thus, 2 packs of Orange and 1 pack of Cream Soda will be cheaper to purchase compared to other options.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
We let x represent the amount of vanilla in mL, since this is what the question is asking us to find.
Next, we will set up a proportion with number of teaspoons on the numerator and amount in mL in the denominator.

Cross-multiply to find the value of x


A recipe of 2.5 teaspoons equals 12.325 mL.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
To find the median, we arrange the following numbers in data set from the smallest to the largest as follows.
-3, -2, 0, 5, 10
From the above the data set, the median falls in the third position. Thus, 0 is the median for the given data set.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
To find the greatest number from the given options, we first convert the decimal numbers into fractions.
4.25 becomes 425/100
4.4 becomes 44/10
Then, we find the LCM for the denominators of the given fractions. The LCM of 2, 100, 3 and 10 is 300. Now we can multiply each fraction with the LCM.
9/2*300=1350
425/100*300=1275
10/3*300=1000
44/10*300=1320
Comparing the obtained values from above, 1350 is the greatest followed by 1320, 12750, and 1000 in that order. The fraction 9/2 gave a value of 1350, which was the greatest value. Thus, 9/2 is the greatest value from the given option.
You can also convert to decimals and compare which would give you the same answer.
Correct Answer is B
Explanation
The number of boxes is determined by finding the volume of the room divided by the volume of the box.
Number of boxes

The approximate number of boxes that can be stored in the room is 92.
However, the room’s dimensions are 9 ft x 9 ft x 9 ft, and the boxes are 2 ft x 2 ft x 2 ft (unchangeable shape). To determine how many boxes fit along each dimension:
- In the 9 ft length, you can fit\(\frac{9}{2} = 4.5\ boxes\) which means only 4 whole boxes fit along this dimension.
- In the 9 ft width, you can fit 4 whole boxes.
- In the 9 ft height, you can fit 4 whole boxes.
Therefore, the total number of boxes that fit is:
\(4 \times 4 \times 4 = 64\ boxes\)
