A baker is using a cookie recipe that call for 5 ¼ cups of flour to yield 40 cookies. How much flour will the baker need to make 120 cookies using the same recipe?

To answer this question, we need to convert the numbers into a similar form. Converting decimal numbers into fraction is appropriate to finding the greatest number.

-0.9 becomes 9/10

-1.9 becomes 19/10

Now we find the LCM of the denominators of the four fractions. The LCM of 5, 10 and 3 is 30. Multiply each fraction with the LCM to compare the fractions.

-3/5*30=-18

-9/10*30=-27

-19/10*30=-57

-8/3*30=-24

The greatest number is -18, meaning -3/5 is the greatest number.

The median of the data set is the number that falls in the middle position after arranging the numbers in the data set in the ascending order.

-6, -4, 1, 8, 12

There are 5 numbers in the given data set, therefore the median falls in the third position from either side. Inspecting the data set, 1 fall in the third position, which is the median for the given data set.

Choice A: 2 packs of Orange and 2 packs of Cream Soda

• Total drinks: 48 + 24 = 72 drinks
• Total cost: (2 * $15) + (2 * $5) = $30 + $10 = $40
• This choice not only meets the requirement of at least 60 drinks but also offers the best value in terms of cost per drink, making it the most cost-effective option.

Choice B: 3 packs of Root Beer

• Total drinks: 3 * 24 = 72 drinks
• Total cost: 3 * $14 = $42
• While this choice meets the requirement of at least 60 drinks, it's not the most cost-effective, as it costs $42for 72 drinks.

Choice C: 1 pack of Orange, 2 packs of Root Beer, and 1 pack of Cream Soda

• Total drinks: 24 + 48 + 12 = 84 drinks
• Total cost: $9 + (2 * $14) + $5 = $9 + $28 + $5 = $42
• This choice provides more than 60 drinks, but it's not the most cost-effective due to its higher cost of $42, same as choice B.

Choice D: 4 packs of Cream Soda

• Total drinks: 4 * 12 = 48 drinks
• Total cost: 4 * $5 = $20
• While this choice is the most cost effective, it falls short of providing the desired number of drinks.

We are asked to find the fraction of pizza the three friends shared equally.

First, the whole pizza is represented by 1. If one friend ate a quarter of the pizza, then:

First friend eats =1/4 of 1=1/4*1=1/4

Remaining fraction of the pizza=1-1/4=3/4

Now, the three friends share 3/4 amongst themselves equally. So, each friend gets

The three friends each gets 1/4 of the pizza.

We are tasked to find the unknown values of x in the given equation.

First, we add 8 to both sides of the equation.

Next, we apply the absolute rule:

If   , a>0, then u=a or u=-a

From our resulting equation, a=14, which is greater 0. Then, the first condition (u=a) becomes

Solving for x

The second condition (u= -a) becomes

Solving for x

Thus, the value of x is 4 or -3

A histogram will be appropriate to represent the time the students wake up every day of the week. The histogram is used to represent the frequency of the variable with another variable. In our case the vertical axis will represent the number of students (frequency) while the time of waking up on the horizontal axis.

We are given the equation:

6x−5=10x+15

Step 1: Move all xxx-terms to one side

Subtract 6x from both sides:

−5=10x−6x+15

Step 2: Move constants to the other side

Subtract 15 from both sides:

−5−15=4x

−20=4x

Step 3: Solve for x

Divide both sides by 4:

x=−20/4 = −5

To find the probability of an event, we use the following the formula

To find the probability of drawing the red ball, we need to find the total number of balls in the bag.

Total number of balls in the bag=6+3+5=14 balls

The probability of drawing a red ball from the bag is 3/14.

The SI units of measuring length is meter. However, a meter can be a large unit or small quantity depending what is being measured. Therefore, derived units of meters are used to measure the length of an object. In our case, centimeters is the appropriate unit to measure the width of the window.

notice that the question compares the cup of flour and the cup of milk. We can therefore set up our ratios as cup of floorcup of milk. If we let the x be the number of cups of milk needed, then

As a mixed fraction, 70/3 becomes 23 1/3, which represents the number of cups of milk needed to make a big batch of 5 cups.
