A recipe calls for 2/9 cup of flour for every 1 2/5 cup of milk. To make a bigger batch, the chef uses 2 cups of flour.
Which of the following would be the amount of milk needed for the bigger batch?
12 1/5 cups
12 3/5 cups
8 1/25 cups
10 3/25 cups
Correct Answer : B
The number of cups of milk to make a bigger batch, we proceed as follows:
First convert the mixed number 1 2/5 as
Then, we let the unknown number of cups of milk to be x and we set a proportion equation with number cups of floor as numerator and cups of milk as denominator
Find the value of x by cross-products
2 as a fraction is 2/1 which is then used to find the product of the numerator as follows.
Per means division. The above equation becomes
When dividing fractions, we multiply the first fraction with the reciprocal of the second. The reciprocal of 2/9 is 9/2. Thus
The numbers of cups of milk required is 63/5, which when converted to mixed fraction becomes 12 3/5.

Explanation
The median of a data set is a number that falls in the middle of the data set. To find the median, the numbers in the data set are arranged from the smallest to the largest. In the given data set, the organized arrangement is:
-5, -1, 0, 3, 9
There are five elements in the data set, and the median falls in the third position from either side. Thus, 0 falls in the third position.
Correct Answer is B
Explanation
we find the value of x by applying the absolute conditions to the given equation.
First, add 2 to both sides of equation
The absolute conditions are:
If   , a>0, then u=a or u=-a
In this case a=10, which is greater 0.
The first condition becomes
Add 2 to both sides of the equation
Divide both sides by 4
The second condition becomes
Add 2 to both sides of the equation
Divide both sides by 4
Then, the value of x is 3 or -2.

We are tasked to find the stock price on Thursday from the given information. Here, we need to find the stock of each day from the price increase or decrease. If the price increases, we add to the previous day’s price and subtract if the price decreases.
Monday’s stock price=$65.50
Tuesday’s stock price is Monday’s plus $1.50=65.50+1.50=$67.00
Wednesday’s stock price went down by $2.57 from Tuesday’s=67.00-2.57=$64.43
Thursday’s stock price went up by $2.25 from Wednesday’s =64.43+2.25=$66.68
From the above evaluation, the stock price on Thursday was $66.68
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
To find the greatest number from the given options, convert the decimal numbers into fractions.
6.98 becomes 698/100
9.2 becomes 92/10
The least common denominator for the denominators of 7, 100 and 10 is 700. Now we can multiply each fraction with 700 as follows:
3/7*700=300
698/100*700=4886
10/7*700=1000
92/10*700=6440
In order from the smallest to largest, we organize the number set as follows:
3/7, 10/7, 6.98, 9.2.
Thus, 9.2 is the greatest of all.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
To find the area of the room, we form an equation of find an equation relating the length and width of the rectangle. If we let the width of the room to be w, then
Width of the rectangle= w
Length of rectangle=(w+5)
Area of the rectangle, A= Length*width=(w+5)*w
A=w(w+5)
Thus, the area of the rectangular room is w(w+5).
Correct Answer is B
Explanation
Before finding the greatest number from the data set, the numbers need to be in fraction form.
-0.5=-5/10
-1.5=-15/10
The set of numbers becomes -2/3, -5/10, -15/10, -4/9
Now the least common denominator for 3, 10, and 9 is 90, which will be used to multiplied by the given fractions as follows:
-2/3*90=-60
-5/10*90=-45
-15/10*90=-135
-4/9*90=-40
From the above evaluations, the resulting numbers arranged from the smallest to the largest is -135, -60, -45, -40. Thus, the greatest number from the data set is -40, with a corresponding fraction of -4/9.
Correct Answer is A
