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?

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.

The mean of a data set is the total scores divided by the number of tests.

Total test scores =100+78+47+84+93+78=480

Number of tests =6

Mean test score =480/6=80

The mean test score is 80.

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 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 use the relation 1 L=1000 mL to convert 0.5 L to mL as follows.

Thus, 0.5 L is 500 mL.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
