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?

We are asked to make x the subject of the formula.

First, we add z to both sides of the equation

Multiply both sides by y

The above equation can be rearranged into

Thus, the formula for finding the value of x is y(z+rw).

Percentages are fractions with denominator equal to 100. The given percent is divided by 100. To convert it to a decimal form, we move the decimal point two points to the left from the current position. Thus

The decimal form of 87.5% is 0.875.

We are asked to find the number of students enrolled in the respiratory care program using the percentages in the pie chart.

If we let x represent the number of students enrolled in the respiratory care program, we can set a proportion equation with number of students on the numerator and percentages on the denominator. The whole pie chart represents 100%, which is 800 students. Then, 19% will represent

We solve the value of x by cross-multiplying the equation above.

So, 152 students will enroll for a respiratory care program.

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).

We convert the given value in yard to the cm using the following set up.

The value 91.44 cm is close to 90 cm. Therefore, 1 yard is approximately 90 cm.

We are asked to find the number of cups of flour that will be used to make 90 cookies.

Letting x be the number of cups of flour and setting the proportion equation with number of cookies on numerator and number of cups of flour on the denominator. We have

Solve the value of x by cross-multiplying

We convert the mixed fraction into improper fraction in order to carry out multiplication

\(x =\ \frac{9}{4}\ cups\ *\ 90\ cookies\ *\ \frac{1}{36}\ cookies\)

The number of cups of flour needed to make 90 cookies is 5.625 cups, which is equal to 5 5/8 cups(Choice B).

By inspection, we find the corresponding values of the given denominations in the following manner.

We are asked to convert kg to pounds using the given relation. Letting x to represent the lb we are looking for.

Nest, we set the proportion with kg in the numerator and lb on the denominator as follows.

We find the value of x by cross-multiplication

The value of x is 110 lb.

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.

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.
