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 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.

We are asked to find the one of the lengths of a right-angled triangle, we use the Pythagoras theorem to find the unknown length.
First, we label the triangle as below and let the unknown length be x.

Then, we apply the Pythagoras theorem to find the value of x as:
\(a^2+b^2=c^2\)


The value of the unknown length is approximately 8.9 feet.

To find the cost-effective option, we need to find how much the consumer will spend for the given options:
2 packs of Orange and 1 pack of Cream Soda will cost $18+$5= $23
3 Packs of Orange will cost $18+$10=$28
2 packs of Root Beer and 1 pack of Cream Soda will cost 2($12)+$5=$29
5 packs of cream Soda will cost 5($5)=$25
From the above evaluation, the consumer will spend $23 for a cost effective package of soft drinks. Thus, 2 packs of Orange and 1 pack of Cream Soda will be cheaper to purchase compared to other options.
