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. 12.325 mL

B. 5.32 mL

C. 7.43 mL

D. 0.507 mL

Answer Explanation:

We are given that 1 teaspoon=4.93 mL, we can interpret it as:

Or

Since we are to find the amount in mL, we look for an option that will cancel teaspoon and remain with mL. The second option is the required conversion, and we proceed as follows:

Therefore, 2.5 teaspoons hold about 12.325 mL.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is A.

  • Q #1: 7x - 6= 3x - 26 Solve the equation above for x. Which of the following is the value for x?

    A. -5

    B. 6

    C. 5

    D. -8

    Answer Explanation

    Here we collect like terms together and solve for the unknown value of x.

    7x-6=3x-26

    Add 6 to both sides of the equation

    7x-6+6=3x-26+6

    7x=3x-20

    Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation

    7x-3x=-20

    4x=-20

    Divide both sides by 4

    4x/-4=-20/4

    x = -5

    The value of x = -5

  • Q #2: For a school's annual budget, the total amount of money spent on supplies (s) and textbooks (t) cannot exceed $12,000. Which of the following inequalities represents this scenario?

    A. s + t >= $12,000

    B. s + t > $12,000

    C. s + t < $12,000

    D. s + t <= $12,000

    Answer Explanation

    We can interpret ‘cannot exceed” as less than ‘<’. Therefore, in our inequality, the symbol < must be included. Now let’s convert the word problem into a mathematical inequality.

    Money spent on supplies=s

    Money spent on textbooks=t

    Total money spent=money spent on supplies + money spent on textbooks

    Total money spent = s+t

    But the money spent cannot exceed $12,000. Then,

    s+t < $12,000.
    However the money spent can still be equal to $12000, as it has not exceeded it.

    Therefore, the required inequality is s + t <= $12,000.

  • Q #3: An employee discovers that 0.0025 of all products produced at a factory contain defects. Which of the following percentage does this represent?

    A. 0.25%

    B. 25%

    C. 2.5%

    D. 0.025%

    Answer Explanation

    all products represent 100%. Then, the portion of defect products is:

    0.0025 of 100%

    ‘of’ means multiply

    0.0025 *100%=0.25%
