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).

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.

The best way to display the frequency of each day of the week when students get up after 8 a.m. is by using a bar graph. Bar graphs are well-suited for representing categorical data, where each day of the week is a separate category, and the height of each bar corresponds to the count or frequency of students waking up late on that specific day.
Note: Histograms, on the other hand, are more appropriate for visualizing continuous or numerical data and are not ideal for categorical data like days of the week.Histograms are useful for understanding the distribution of data, identifying patterns, and assessing the shape of the data distribution, such as whether it's normally distributed, skewed, or has multiple modes.
As you can see below, the Histogram is used to depict a pattern/continuous/rangedata. While a bar graph does just fine even with discrete data.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
We need to find the are of the rectangle from the given case. Letting x represent the width of the rectangle. Then, we can find the area of the rectangle as follows.
Length of rectangle=(x+5)
Width of the rectangle= x
Area of the rectangle, A= Length*width=(x+5)*x
A=x(x+5)
Thus, the area of the rectangle is x(x+5).

Explanation
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 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.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
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.
