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.

Explanation
We need to find the are of the rectangle from the given case. Letting x represent the width of the rectangle. Then, we can find the area of the rectangle as follows.
Length of rectangle=(x+5)
Width of the rectangle= x
Area of the rectangle, A= Length*width=(x+5)*x
A=x(x+5)
Thus, the area of the rectangle is x(x+5).
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
We are being asked to find the amount of milk needed. This is a proportion problem, which compares the amount of flour to that of milk. Letting x represent the amount of milk required, we set up the proportion with flour on the numerator and amount of milk in denominator as follows:

Change the mixed fraction of 1 1/5 into improper fraction as follows

The proportion equation becomes

Cross-multiply to solve for x




As an mixed fraction, 36/5 becomes 7 1/5. Therefore, 7 1/5 cups of milk are needed to make a big batch of 2 cups.
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.
