Four friends are sharing a pizza. One friend eats a third of the pizza. The other three friends equally divide the rest among themselves. What portion of the pizza did each of the other three friends receive?

A. 7/9

B. 1/3

C. 1/3

D. 2/9

Answer Explanation:

We are asked to find a fraction of pizza other three friends got.

A whole pizza represents 1, and one friend eats 1/3 of 1=1/3*1=1/3

Now, the remaining pizza is 1-1/3=3/3-1/3=2/3

The three friends share 2/3 of pizza equally. So, each friend gets

Therefore, each of the three friends get 2/9 of the pizza.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is D.

  • Q #2: -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 #4: 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 #7: A recipe calls for 6.5 teaspoons of vanilla. 1 teaspoon equals approximately 4.93 mL. Which of the following is the correct amount of vanilla in mL? (Use the conversion rates as provided)

    A. 32.05 mL

    B. 29.55 mL

    C. 34.20 mL

    D. 25.80 mL

    Answer Explanation

    Explanation:

    We need to find the mL in 6.5 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:

    (frac{6.5}{x} = frac{1}{4.93})

    Find the value of x by cross-products

    6.5 * 4.93 = x

    32.05 = x

    Therefore, 6.5 teaspoons equal 32.05 mL.

  • Q #8: Which of the following is the median of the date set below? 9, -4, 6, -1, 13

    A. 9

    B. 6

    C. -1

    D. -4

    Answer Explanation

    To find the median, we arrange the give dataset in ascending order -4, -1, 6, 9, 13 There are 5 five numbers in the dataset and median will fall in (frac{(5+1)}{2}) position, which is third position. The element in the third position is 6. Therefore, 6 is the median of the give set of data.
