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?

Given:

• 2 teaspoons of baking powder for every ½ cup of flour.
• We are using 5 cups of flour.

Step 1: Determine how many teaspoons are needed per cup of flour.

Since the recipe calls for 2 teaspoons for every ½ cup of flour, the number of teaspoons required for 1 full cup of flour would be:

2 teaspoons×2=4 teaspoonspercup.

Step 2: Calculate how many teaspoons are needed for 5 cups of flour.

Now, multiply the number of teaspoons needed for 1 cup of flour by 5:

4 teaspoonspercup×5 cups=20 teaspoons.

Thus, the number of teaspoons of baking powder needed for 5 cups of flour is 20 teaspoons.

Therefore, the correct answer is D. 20 tsp.

The number of cups of milk to make a bigger batch, we proceed as follows:

First convert the mixed number 1 2/5 as

Then, we let the unknown number of cups of milk to be x and we set a proportion equation with number cups of floor as numerator and cups of milk as denominator

Find the value of x by cross-products

2 as a fraction is 2/1 which is then used to find the product of the numerator as follows.

Per means division. The above equation becomes

When dividing fractions, we multiply the first fraction with the reciprocal of the second. The reciprocal of 2/9 is 9/2. Thus

The numbers of cups of milk required is 63/5, which when converted to mixed fraction becomes 12 3/5.

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.

To find the cheapest option, we find the amount the consume will spend for each option given.:

• 2 packs of Orange and 1 pack of Cream Soda will cost $16+$5= $21
• 3 Packs of Orange will cost $16+$12=$28
• 2 packs of Root Beer and 1 pack of Cream Soda will cost 2($15)+$7=$37
• 5 packs of cream Soda will cost 5($7)=$35

From the above evaluation, the cheapest option will cost the consumer $21. Thus, buying 2 packs of Orange and 1 pack of Cream Soda will be cheaper to purchase compared to other options.

we find the value of x by applying the absolute conditions to the given equation.

First, add 2 to both sides of equation

The absolute conditions are:

If   , a>0, then u=a or u=-a

In this case a=10, which is greater 0.

The first condition becomes

Add 2 to both sides of the equation

Divide both sides by 4

The second condition becomes

Add 2 to both sides of the equation

Divide both sides by 4

Then, the value of x is 3 or -2.

A. A=w(2w+1)

Explanation

The area of a rectangle is given by the formula:

A=length×width

Given that the length is one more than twice the width, we can express it as:

Length=2w+1

The width is simply w.

Now, substituting these into the area formula:

A=w(2w+1)

Thus, the correct answer is:

A=w(2w+1)

To convert millilitres (mL) to litres (L), we use the fact that:

1 L=1000 mL

So, to convert 2,500 mL to litres:

=2.5 L

Thus, the patient needs 2.5 litres of saline.

The correct answer is C. 2.5 L.

The median of a data set is a number that falls in the middle of the data set. To find the median, the numbers in the data set are arranged from the smallest to the largest. In the given data set, the organized arrangement is:

-5, -1, 0, 3, 9

There are five elements in the data set, and the median falls in the third position from either side. Thus, 0 falls in the third position.

We are asked to determine Japheth’s uncle’s age relating to Japheth’s age.

First, express Japheth’s uncle’s age in terms of Japheth’s age as follows

Japheth’s age=k

Japheth’s uncle’s age, u = 3k-10.

Thus, the relationship between Japheth’s uncle’s age to that of Japheth is u=3k-10.

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.
