Q #1: Soft Drinks Orange Two 24-packs for $10; one 24-pack for $8 Root Beer One 24-pack for $11 Cream Soda One 12-pack for $6 A consumer needs to purchase at least 50 soft drinks for a picnic. Which of the following combinations is the most cost-effective?
A. 1 two-24 packs of Orange and 2 packs of Cream Soda
B. 3 one 24-pack of Orange
C. 1 packs of Root Beer and 3 packs of Cream Soda
D. 4 packs of cream Soda
Answer Explanation
To find the cheapest option, we determine how much the consumer will spend in each option given above:
1 two-24 packs of Orange and 2 pack of Cream Soda=1($10)+2($6)=$10+$12=$22
3 one 24-pack of Orange=3($8)=$24
1 pack of Root Beer and 3 packs of Cream Soda=1($11)+3($6)=$11+$18=$29
4 packs of cream Soda=4($6)=$24
The cheapest option is spending $22 and the most expensive one is $29. Thus, the consumer should consider buying 1 two-24 packs of Orange and 2 packs of Cream Soda.

Q #2: The American with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that the slope of a wheelchair ramp be no greater than 1:12. Which of the following is the minimum length of a ramp needed to provide access to a door that is 1.5 feet above the sidewalk?
A. 12 feet
B. 4.5 feet
C. 3 feet
D. 18 feet
Answer Explanation
We use the given slope to find the minimum length of the ramp. In this case, slope is the ratio of height to length of the lamp. Thus,
If we let x be the minimum length of the ramp. Then,
Substituting the value of slope into the above equation results in,
Solve for value of x by cross-products
X = 18 Feet
Thus, the minimum length of the ramp needed to provide access to a door that is 1.5 high is 18 feet.

Q #3: Five friends are sharing a pizza. Two friend eats half 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. 1/6
B. 1/3
C. 5/6
D. 1/5
Answer Explanation
we need to find the portion of pizza shared by other three friends.
Two friends eat half of the pizza, which is ½
And the remaining amount of pizza,
Now, the other three friends share ½ amongst themselves equally. Then, each friend gets
The other three friends each gets 1/6 of the pizza.

Q #4: A baker is using a cookie recipe that call for 2 ¼ cups of flour to yield 40 cookies. How much flour will the baker need to make 90 cookies using the same recipe?
A. 6 7/18 cups
B. 5 5/18 cups
C. 2 3/16 cups
D. 5 1/16 cups
Answer Explanation
We are asked to find the number of cups of flour that will be used to make 90 cookies.
First, we convert 2 ¼ into improper fraction as:
Letting x to be the number of cups of flour, we set up a proportion equation with number of cookies on numerator and number of cups of flour on the denominator becomes:
Solve the value of x by cross-products
Dividing both sides by 60, the above equation result to
Thus, the number of cups of flour needed to make 90 cookies is 81/16 cups, which is equal to 5 1/16 cups.

Q #5: 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?
A. 12 1/5 cups
B. 12 3/5 cups
C. 8 1/25 cups
D. 10 3/25 cups
Answer Explanation
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.

Q #6: A recipe calls for 3 teaspoons of vanilla. 1 teaspoon equals approximately 4.93 mL. Which of the following is the correct amount of vanilla in mL?
A. 34.33 mL
B. 9.58 mL
C. 10.49 mL
D. 14.79 mL
Answer Explanation
To find the amount of vanilla in mL, use dimensional analysis of the units of measurements.
Two ways to convert between teaspoon and mL are:
Since we are required to find the amount in mL, we use a cionverstioon that will result in mL. Inspecting the above options, we use the second option and set up an equation in way the unwanted units cancel out and leave the wanted unit we are looking for. Then,
Thus, a recipe of 3 teaspoons equals 14.79 mL.

Q #9: There are 1200 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 radiologic technology program?
A. 216
B. 504
C. 228
D. 252
Answer Explanation
We are asked to find the number of students enrolled in the radiologic program using the information provided on the pie chart.
If we let x represent the number of students enrolled in the radiologic program, we set a proportion equation with number of students on the numerator and percentages on the denominator.
Total percent in the pie chart adds to 100%, which equals 1200 students. Then, 21% will represent
We solve the value of x by cross-multiplying the equation above.
Therefore, 252 students will enroll for a radiologic program.

Q #10: Which of the following is the median of the date set below? 3, -5, 9, -1, 0
A. 9
B. -5
C. -1
D. 0
Answer 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.
