A macaroni and cheese recipe calls for 1/3 cup of flour for every 1 1/5 cup of milk. To make a bigger batch, the chef uses 2 cups of flour. Which of the following would be the amount of milk needed for the bigger batch?
7 1/5 cups
2 2/5 cups
3 8/15 cups
6 cups
Correct Answer : A
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 C
Explanation
We are asked to find the dependent variable from the given scenario. A dependent variable is one which varies with another variable. In this case, the cost of the pizza will change with the change in diameter of the pizza, number of toppings, and amount of cheese. In other words, the cost of the pizza depends on the three variables.
Therefore, cost is the dependent variable while the diameter of the pizza, number of toppings and amount of cheese are independent variables.

Explanation
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 B
Explanation
We need to find the value of x from the given equation. First, we move the value of 10 to the right-hand side of the equation.

Add 10 to both sides of the equation


Next, we apply the absolute rule:
,  a>0, then u=a or u=-a
In this case a=12, which is greater 0. Then, the first condition becomes

Solving for x



The second condition becomes

Solving for x



Then, the value of x is -1 or 2.

We are asked to find the Kwame’s uncle’s age in terms of Kwame’s age.
First, we need to find the age of Kwame, which is k. Then, we know that Kwame’s uncle’s age is three times that of Kwame less 17. Then,
Kwame’s uncle’s age, u = 3k-17.
Thus, the relation that relates Kwame’s uncle’s age to that of Kwame is u=3k-17.
