A recipe calls for 2.5 teaspoons of vanilla. 1 teaspoon equals approximately 4.93 mL. Which of the following is the correct amount of vanilla in mL?

A. 5.33 mL

B. 0.507 mL

C. 7.43 mL

D. 12.325 mL

Answer Explanation:

We let x represent the amount of vanilla in mL, since this is what the question is asking us to find.

Next, we will set up a proportion with number of teaspoons on the numerator and amount in mL in the denominator.

Cross-multiply to find the value of x

A recipe of 2.5 teaspoons equals 12.325 mL.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is D.

  • Q #1: Which of the following values is the greatest?

    A. 9/2

    B. 4.25

    C. 10/3

    D. 4.4

    Answer Explanation

    To find the greatest number from the given options, we first convert the decimal numbers into fractions.

    4.25 becomes 425/100

    4.4 becomes 44/10

    Then, we find the LCM for the denominators of the given fractions. The LCM of 2, 100, 3 and 10 is 300. Now we can multiply each fraction with the LCM.

    9/2*300=1350

    425/100*300=1275

    10/3*300=1000

    44/10*300=1320

    Comparing the obtained values from above, 1350 is the greatest followed by 1320, 12750, and 1000 in that order. The fraction 9/2 gave a value of 1350, which was the greatest value. Thus, 9/2 is the greatest value from the given option.

    You can also convert to decimals and compare which would give you the same answer.

  • Q #2: Which of the following is the appropriate unit of a measure to express the weight of a spoon?

    A. Liter

    B. Milliliter

    C. Gram

    D. Kilogram

    Answer Explanation

    We required to find the units of finding the weight of a spoon. The mass is measured in kilogram and grams. Kilograms are used to measure the mass of heavier objects while grams for small and lighter objects.

    Thus, gram is the appropriate unit for measuring weight of a spoon.

  • Q #3: The length of a rectangular room is 5 feet greater than its width. Which of the following equations represents the area (A) of the room?

    A. A = 5x

    B. A = 2x+2(x+5)

    C. A = x(x+5)

    D. A = x+(x+5)

    Answer Explanation

    We need to find the are of the rectangle from the given case. Letting x represent the width of the rectangle. Then, we can find the area of the rectangle as follows.

    Length of rectangle=(x+5)

    Width of the rectangle= x

    Area of the rectangle, A= Length*width=(x+5)*x

    A=x(x+5)

    Thus, the area of the rectangle is x(x+5).
