A recipe calls for 4 teaspoons of vanilla. 1 teaspoon equals approximately 4.98 mL. Which of the following is the correct amount of vanilla in mL?
A. 5.35 mL
B. 50.7 mL
C. 19.92 mL
D. 12.25 mL
We need to find the mL in 4 teaspoons from the given information.
If we let x represent the amount of vanilla in mL, and set a proportion equation with number of teaspoons as numerator and mL as denominator, then:
Find the value of x by cross-products
Therefore, 4 teaspoons equal 19.92 mL.
Therefore, the Correct Answer is C.

Q #2: Which of the following is the mean of the test scores listed below? 90, 87, 74, 84, 93, 78
A. 87
B. 78
C. 90
D. 84
Answer Explanation
The mean of a data set is the total scores divided by the number of tests.
Total test scores =90+87+74+ 84+93+76=504
Number of tests =6 Mean test score =506/6=84
The mean test score is 84

Q #3: -1/3, -0.6, -1.5, -7/3. Of the numbers listed above, which number is the greatest?
A. -0.6
B. -7/3
C. -1/3
D. -1.5
Answer Explanation
To find the greatest value, we need to have uniform numbers. That is, all numbers must be in fraction for easy comparison. Therefore, we convert -0.6, and -1.5 into fractions as follows. For purposes of easy computation, we do not simplify the resulting fractions.
-0.6=-6/10
-1.5=-15/10
Now, the resulting fractions are -1/3, -6/10, -15/10, and -7/3. The greatest value is found by finding the LCM of the denominators and multiplying with each fraction. The LCM of 3 and 10 is 30. Then,
-1/3*30=-10
-6/10*30=-18
-15/10*30=-45
-7/3*30=-70
Based on the obtained values, -10 is the greatest value and -70 the least value. Therefore, -1/3 is the greatest of all the four options.

Q #6: A macaroni and cheese recipe calls for 4/7 cup of flour for every 2 1/5 cup of milk. To make a bigger batch, the chef uses 4 cups of flour. Which of the following would be the amount of milk needed for the bigger batch?
A. 15 1/5 cups
B. 15 2/5
C. 12 8/15 cups
D. 15 cups
Answer Explanation
To find the required number of cups of milk, we need to set up a proportion equation. If we let x be the required number of cups and cups of flour as numerator and cups of milk in denominator, then the result proportion becomes:
We cannot multiply mixed fractions with any number, so we change 2 1/5 into an improper fraction as
The proportion equation becomes
Cross-multiply to solve for x
As a mixed fraction, 77/5 becomes 15 2/5. Therefore, to make a bigger batch, the chef needs 15 2/5 cups of milk.

Q #8: Which of the following is the value of x in the equation below? (left|3x-7 ight|-13=2)
A. x = 21/3, x=22/3
B. x = 7/3, x=9/3
C. x = 15/2, x=9/3
D. x = 22/3, x=-8/3
Answer Explanation
-
Add 13 to both sides to isolate the absolute value term, resulting in ( left|3x-7 ight|= 15)
-
Consider two cases:
- When (+(3x-7)) is positive, solve for x to get (3x = 15 + 7) then (3x=22) (finally x=frac{22}{3})
- When (-(3x-7)) is negative (but the absolute value makes it positive). Solve for x to get (-3x = 15 - 7) then (-3x=8) (finally x=- frac{8}{3})
So, there are two possible solutions: (x=frac{22}{3} or x=- frac{8}{3})

Q #9: The length of a rectangular room is 9 feet greater than its width. Which of the following equations represents the area (A) of the room?
A. A=9x
B. A=2x+2(x+9)
C. A=x(x+9)
D. A=x+(x+9)
Answer Explanation
we are asked to find the area of the room from the given information.
The first step is to find equation relating the length of the room to its width. If we let the width of the room to be x. Then,
Width of the rectangle= x
Length of rectangle = (x+9)
Area of the rectangle, A= Length*width = (x+9)*x
A=x(x+9)
Therefore, the area of the rectangular room is x(x+9).

Q #10: There are 900 students enrolled in four allied health programs at a local community college. The percent students in each program are displayed in the pie chart. Which of the following is the number of students enrolled in the respiratory care program?
A. 162
B. 171
C. 378
D. 189
Answer Explanation
we use the percentages and number of students to find the number of students enrolled in the respiratory care program as in the pie chart. The total percent of the whole piec chart sums to 100%.
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.
Find the value of x by cross-products
Divide both sides of the equation by 100%
Thus, 171 students out of 900 students will enroll for a respiratory care program.
