A child has a bottle full of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. There are six as many quarters as pennies, two times as many as nickels as pennies, and 5 times as many dimes as nickels. How many more dimes does the child have than nickels?
A. 4 times as many
B. 5 times as many
C. 20 times as many
D. 10 times as many
In this problem, we need to compare the number of dimes to quarters.
If we let p be number of pennies in the bottle. Then,
Number of quarters in the bottle = 6p
Number of nickels in the bottle = 2p
Number of dimes in the bottle =5(2p)=10p
Now relating dimes to nickels, we have
Thus, there are 5 times as many dimes as quarters in the box.
Therefore, the Correct Answer is B.

Q #2: -2/9, -0.9, -1.7, -4/7 Of the number listed above, which number is the greatest?
A. -0.9
B. -4/7
C. -1.7
D. -2/9
Answer Explanation
The initial step is to convert the decimal options to fractions. Then, we find the LCM of the denominators of all fractions, which will be used to compare the values of the given options.
-0. becomes -9/10
-1.7 becomes -17/10
Then, the resulting denominators are 9, 10, and 63. Their LCM of 630 is used to multiply each fraction.
-2/9*630=-140
-9/10*630=-567
-17/10*630=-1071
-4/7*630=-360
From the calculations above, -140 is the greatest value of all the values. Thus, -2/9 is the greatest number.

Q #3: There are 800 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 nursing program?
A. 168
B. 144
C. 336
D. 152
Answer Explanation
we are asked to find the number of students enrolled in the nursing program using the percentages in the pie chart.
If we let x represent the number of students enrolled in the nursing program, we set a proportion equation with number of students on the numerator and percentages on the denominator.
Total percent in the pie chart is 100%, which equals 800 students. Then, 42% will represent
We solve the value of x by cross-multiplying the equation above.
Therefore, 336 students will enroll for a nursing program.
