A child has a bottle full of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. There are twice as many quarters as pennies, four times as many as nickels as pennies, and five times as many dimes as nickels. How many more dimes does the child have than quarters?
4 times as many
5 times as many
20 times as many
10 times as many
Correct Answer : D
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.

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:
\(4 \times 4 \times 4 = 64\ boxes\)
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
Step 1: Determine the remaining balance
The total cost of the television is $1,570, and the consumer made a $400 down payment.
Remainingbalance=1,570−400=1,170
Step 2: Calculate the number of months
The consumer pays $100 per month, so:
Months=1,170/100=11.7
Since the consumer cannot make a fraction of a payment, they will need 12 months to fully pay off the television.

We need to find the price changes in each day of the week in order to find the price of the stock on Thursday.
Monday’s price was $50.33
Tuesday’s price went up by $2.35 from Monday’s price. The price was $(50.33+2.35)=$52.68
Wednesday’s price decreased by $1.07 from Tuesday’s price, and so the price of the stock was $(52.68-1.07)=$51.61
Thursday’s price increased by $0.75 from Wednesday’s price, which was $(51.61+0.75)=$52.36
Therefore, the price of the stock on Thursday was $52.36.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
The slope represent the ratio between the vertical height to the horizontal length. Let x be the minimum length of the ramp, we can set a proportion with height on the numerator and length on denominator. Then,
Cross-multiply to find the value of x
Thus, the minimum length of the ramp needed is 30 feet to access to a door that is 2.5 feet above the sidewalk.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
We are asked to find the number of gallons full tank can hold. The fraction of full tank is 1.
First, we let x be the number of gallons in full tank. Then, set the proportion equation by setting the number of gallons on the numerator and fraction of tank on denominator as follows.
Convert the mixed fraction into proper fraction and cross-multiply to find the value of x.
Converting 42/5 to a mixed fraction is 8 2/5. Thus, when the tank is full, it holds 8 2/5 gallons of water.
