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).

Explanation
The best way to display the frequency of each day of the week when students get up after 8 a.m. is by using a bar graph. Bar graphs are well-suited for representing categorical data, where each day of the week is a separate category, and the height of each bar corresponds to the count or frequency of students waking up late on that specific day.
Note: Histograms, on the other hand, are more appropriate for visualizing continuous or numerical data and are not ideal for categorical data like days of the week.Histograms are useful for understanding the distribution of data, identifying patterns, and assessing the shape of the data distribution, such as whether it's normally distributed, skewed, or has multiple modes.
As you can see below, the Histogram is used to depict a pattern/continuous/rangedata. While a bar graph does just fine even with discrete data.
