  • Q #1: (frac{[2 (8 + 2 * 6)]}{(16 div 2)} = frac{40}{8} = 5) Simplify the expression above. Which of the following is correct?

    A. 6

    B. 2

    C. 5

    D. 3

    Answer Explanation

    We follow the order of operations to solve the given expression.

    First, we start with the numerator and solve

    [2(8+2*6)]

    We start with multiplication in inner brackets, 2*6=12. The expression becomes

    [2(8+12)]

    Then, we conduct the addition of 8+12=20. Then, the expression yields

    [2(20)] = 2*20 = 40

    Now, we solve for denominator, which is 16/2=8.

    Thus, the expression is reduced into

    (frac{[2 (8 + 2 * 6)]}{(16 div 2)} = frac{40}{8} = 5)

    The expression reduces into 5.

  • Q #2: As the number of credit hours a student takes in a semester increases, the tuition fees, the amount of access fees, and the number of student loans available also increase. Which of the following is the independent variable?

    A. Amount of access fees

    B. Tuition fees

    C. Number of credit hours

    D. Number of student loans available

    Answer Explanation

    A change in number of credit hours will lead to a change in the amount of access fees, amount of tuition fees, and availability of the number of student loans. Thus, number of credit hours is the independent variable.

  • Q #3: 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.
