A baker is using a cookie recipe that call for 2 ¼ cups of flour to yield 40 cookies. How much flour will the baker need to make 90 cookies using the same recipe?
6 7/18 cups
5 5/18 cups
2 3/16 cups
5 1/16 cups
Correct Answer : D
We are asked to find the number of cups of flour that will be used to make 90 cookies.
First, we convert 2 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 60, the above equation result to

Thus, the number of cups of flour needed to make 90 cookies is 81/16 cups, which is equal to 5 1/16 cups.

Explanation
The polling organization has an average ratio of 2 answered calls for every 15 attempted calls. To find the expected number of answered calls for 150 attempted calls, we can set up a proportion based on this ratio.
Step 1: Set up the proportion
The ratio of answered calls to attempted calls is:
=
Where x is the number of expected answered calls for 150 attempted calls.
Step 2: Solve for x
Cross-multiply to solve for x:
2×150=15×x
300=15x
X =
x = 20
Conclusion:
The expected number of answered calls for 150 attempted calls is 20 calls.
The correct answer is C. 20 calls.

Explanation
To find the median of a data set, we need to first order the data from least to greatest, then find the middle value.
Step 1: Order the data from least to greatest:
The original data set is:
12,19,7,14,22,26,15
Ordered from least to greatest:
7,12,14,15,19,22,26
Step 2: Find the middle value
Since there are 7 numbers (an odd number of data points), the median will be the middle value, which is the 4th number in the ordered list.
7,12,14,15,19,22,26
The middle value is 15.
Conclusion:
The median of the data set is 15.
The correct answer is B. 15.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
we are asked to find the number of gallons a full tank can hold. A full tank is equivalent to 1.
Convert the mixed fraction into proper fraction as follows
(2frac{2}{5}=frac{left(2ast5 ight)+2}{5}=frac{10+2}{5}=frac{12}{5})
If we let x be the number of gallons in full tank, and setting up the proportion equation with the number of gallons on the numerator and fraction of tank on denominator as follows.
(frac{x gallons}{1 full tank}=frac{frac{12}{5} gallons}{frac{4}{7}full tank})
Cross-multiply to find the value of x.
(frac{x }{1 full tank}=frac{frac{12}{5} gallons}{frac{4}{7}full tank})
(x astfrac{4}{7}full tank=frac{12}{5} gallonsast1 full tank)
(x =frac{frac{12}{5} gallonsast1 full tank}{frac{4}{7}full tank}=frac{12}{5}divfrac{4}{7} gallons=frac{12}{5}astfrac{7}{4}gallons=frac{21}{5}gallons)
Converting 21/5 to a mixed fraction is 4 1/5. Thus, when the tank is full, it holds 4 1/5 gallons of water.

Correct Answer is B
Explanation
Before finding the greatest number from the data set, the numbers need to be in fraction form.
-0.5=-5/10
-1.5=-15/10
The set of numbers becomes -2/3, -5/10, -15/10, -4/9
Now the least common denominator for 3, 10, and 9 is 90, which will be used to multiplied by the given fractions as follows:
-2/3*90=-60
-5/10*90=-45
-15/10*90=-135
-4/9*90=-40
From the above evaluations, the resulting numbers arranged from the smallest to the largest is -135, -60, -45, -40. Thus, the greatest number from the data set is -40, with a corresponding fraction of -4/9.
Correct Answer is D

To find the amount of vanilla in mL, use dimensional analysis of the units of measurements.
Two ways to convert between teaspoon and mL are:


Since we are required to find the amount in mL, we use a cionverstioon that will result in mL. Inspecting the above options, we use the second option and set up an equation in way the unwanted units cancel out and leave the wanted unit we are looking for. Then,

Thus, a recipe of 3 teaspoons equals 14.79 mL.

Explanation
We follow the order of operations to solve the given expression. The order of operations is PEMDAS:
- Parentheses
- Exponents
- Multiplication and Division (in order from left to right)
- Addition and Subtraction (in order from left to right)
First, we start with the numerator and solve it as follows
[3(6+5*4)]
We start with multiplication in parenthesis, 5*4=20. The expression becomes
[3(6+20)]
Then, we conduct the addition in parenthesis 6+20=26. Then, the expression becomes
[3(26)]=3*26=78
Now, we solve for denominator, which is 26/2=13.
Thus, the expression is reduced into

The expression reduces into 6.
