A child has a bottle full of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. There are twice as many quarters as pennies, four times as many as nickels as pennies, and five times as many dimes as nickels. How many more dimes does the child have than quarters?

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 let x represent the amount of vanilla in mL, since this is what the question is asking us to find.

Next, we will set up a proportion with number of teaspoons on the numerator and amount in mL in the denominator.

Cross-multiply to find the value of x

A recipe of 2.5 teaspoons equals 12.325 mL.

To find the median, we arrange the following numbers in data set from the smallest to the largest as follows.

-3, -2, 0, 5, 10

From the above the data set, the median falls in the third position. Thus, 0 is the median for the given data set.

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.

We need to find the value of x from the given equation. First, we move the value of 10 to the right-hand side of the equation.

Add 10 to both sides of the equation

Next, we apply the absolute rule:

,   a>0, then u=a or u=-a

In this case a=12, which is greater 0. Then, the first condition becomes

Solving for x

The second condition becomes

Solving for x

Then, the value of x is -1 or 2.

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 probability of an event is determined by the relation

Finding the probability of drawing the red ball, we need to find the total number of balls in the bag.

Total number of balls in the bag=5+4+3=12 balls

The probability of drawing a red ball from the bag is 1/3.

By inspection, we find the corresponding values of the given denominations in the following manner.

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 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.
