Q #1: Soft Drinks: Orange Two 24-packs for $20, One 24-pack for $15 Root Beer: One 24-pack for $18 Cream Soda: One 12-pack for $10 A consumer needs to purchase at least 60 soft drinks for a picnic. Which of the following combinations is the most cost-effective?

A. 5 packs of cream Soda

B. 3 packs of Orange

C. 2 packs of Root Beer and 1 pack of Cream Soda

D. 2 packs of Orange and 1 pack of Cream Soda

Answer Explanation

To find the cheapest option, we find the amount the consume will spend for each option given:

2 packs of Orange and 1 pack of Cream Soda will cost $20 + $10= $30 (Choice D)

3 Packs of Orange will cost $20+$15 = $35 (Choice B)

2 packs of Root Beer and 1 pack of Cream Soda will cost 2($18) + $10 = $46 (Choice C)

5 packs of cream Soda will cost 5($10)=$50 (Choice A)

Hence Choice D - 2 packs of Orange and 1 pack of Cream Soda is the correct answer.
Q #2: -1/6, -0.7, -1.8, -7/6 Of the number listed above, which number is the greatest?

A. -1/6

B. -0.7

C. -7/6

D. -1.8

Answer Explanation
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.
