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 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 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:
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
We follow the order of operations to solve the given expression.
First, we start with the numerator and solve it as follows
[2(3+5*3)]
We start with multiplication in inner brackets, 5*3=15. The expression becomes
[2(3+15)]
Then, we conduct the addition of 3+15=18. Then, the expression yields
[2(18)]=2*18=36
Now, we solve for denominator, which is 12/2=6.
Thus, the expression is reduced into
The expression reduces into 6.
