A baker is using a cookie recipe that call for 2 ¼ cups of flour to yield 36 cookies. How much flour will the baker need to make 90 cookies using the same recipe?
6 ¾ cups
5 5/8 cups
10 1/8 cups
4 ¾ cups
Correct Answer : B
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).

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.

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.

What fraction of the pizza the other three friends get is what is asked to find.
First, the pizza is whole, representing a value of 1. Then, one friend ate half of the pizza. Thun, the fraction of the pizza the friend gets is:
First friend eats =1/2 of 1=1/2
Remaining fraction of the pizza=1-1/2=1/2
Now, the three friends share ½ amongst themselves equally. Then, each friend gets
The three friends each gets 1/6 of the pizza.

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 A
Explanation
To find the greatest number from the given options, we first convert the decimal numbers into fractions.
4.25 becomes 425/100
4.4 becomes 44/10
Then, we find the LCM for the denominators of the given fractions. The LCM of 2, 100, 3 and 10 is 300. Now we can multiply each fraction with the LCM.
9/2*300=1350
425/100*300=1275
10/3*300=1000
44/10*300=1320
Comparing the obtained values from above, 1350 is the greatest followed by 1320, 12750, and 1000 in that order. The fraction 9/2 gave a value of 1350, which was the greatest value. Thus, 9/2 is the greatest value from the given option.
You can also convert to decimals and compare which would give you the same answer.
