A consumer needs to purchase at least 60 soft drinks for a picnic.

Which of the following combinations is the most cost-effective?

Using a calculator to evaluate 15÷27 results in 0.5555555556. To two decimal places, the answer becomes 0.56.

Thus, 0.56 is the decimal equivalent of 15/27.

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 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 use the relation 1 L=1000 mL to convert L to mL.

The two options for converting between L and mL are

And

We use the first option to convert 6.5 L to mL as follows:

Thus, 6.5 L is 6500 mL.

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.

We use the calculator to find the positive square root of 19, which is then multiplied by 3.

Using the calculator,

Multiplying the square root above with 3 becomes

The approximate value of 3 times the square root of 19 is 13.1.

The percentage change in weight is found in three steps below:

Absolute change in weight=final weight-initial weight

Absolute change in weight=(left|120-153 ight|=left|-33 ight|=33)

Relative change in weight=(frac{absolute change}{initial weight}=frac{33}{153}=0.216)

Percent change=relative change * 100%

Percent change=0.216*100%=21.6%

The percent change in weight lost is 21.6 %, which is about 22%.

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.

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.

In this task, we use the relation from the given scenario to compare the number of dimes to quarters.

If we let p be number of pennies in the bottle. Then,

Number of quarters in the bottle = 2p

Number of nickels in the bottle = 3p

Number of dimes in the bottle =6(3p)=18p

Now relating dimes to quarters, we have

Thus, there are 9 times as many dimes as quarters in the box.
