Four friends are sharing a pizza. One friend eats half of the pizza. The other three friends equally divide the rest among themselves. What portion of the pizza did each of the other three friends receive?

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).

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 need to find the price changes in each day of the week in order to find the price of the stock on Thursday.

Monday’s price was $50.33

Tuesday’s price went up by $2.35 from Monday’s price. The price was $(50.33+2.35)=$52.68

Wednesday’s price decreased by $1.07 from Tuesday’s price, and so the price of the stock was $(52.68-1.07)=$51.61

Thursday’s price increased by $0.75 from Wednesday’s price, which was $(51.61+0.75)=$52.36

Therefore, the price of the stock on Thursday was $52.36.

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.

We need to find the circumference of the circle from the given area.

To find the circumference, we need to find the radius of the circle from the given area.

Let r be the radius of the circle, and the area of the circle is given by

Substituting the value of area in the above equation becomes

Dividing both sides by pi and taking square root on both sides yields

The radius of the circle is 7 in. and the circumference of the circle is given by the relation:

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.

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.

The slope represent the ratio between the vertical height to the horizontal length. Let x be the minimum length of the ramp, we can set a proportion with height on the numerator and length on denominator. Then,

Cross-multiply to find the value of x

Thus, the minimum length of the ramp needed is 30 feet to access to a door that is 2.5 feet above the sidewalk.

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 calculate the percentage increase in client volume, use the formula:

PercentageIncrease×100

Step 1: Identify values

• Old Value (Year 1): 841 clients
• New Value (Year 2): 1,072 clients

Step 2: Compute the increase

1,072−841=231

Step 3: Calculate the percentage increase

×100 ≈ 27.47%

Step 4: Choose the closest answer

The closest option is 27%.
