We need to find how many mL are in 5.5 teaspoons. We are told that 1 teaspoon is about 4.93 mL, which we interpret as follows:

           

Or

         

Since we are looking for mL, we use the second option.

         

Thus, 5.5 teaspoons can hold approximately 27 mL.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is D.

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

    A. 11/2

    B. 5.4

    C. 13/3

    D. 6.25

    Answer Explanation

    Before we compare the values of the options, we convert the decimals to fractions.

    5.4 becomes 54/10

    6.25 becomes 625/100

    Thus, the set of fractions is 11/2, 54/10, 13/3, 625/100. The least common denominator for 2, 10, 3, and 100 is 300, which we use to compare each options given.

    11/2*300=1650

    54/10*300=1620

    13/3*300=1300

    625/100*300=1875

    From the above, 1875 is the greatest value which corresponds to 6.25. Therefore, 6.25 is the greatest value of all the choices given.

  • Q #2: When the weights of the newborn babies are graphed, the distribution of weights is symmetric with the majority of weights centered around a single peak. Which of the following describes the shape of this distribution?

    A. Uniform

    B. Bimodal

    C. Bell-shaped

    D. Skewed right

    Answer Explanation

    The distribution of the weights of the newborn babies is symmetric meaning the mean, mode, and median are all equal. Thus, the bell-shape curve describes this kind of distribution of weights
