Which of the following is the appropriate unit of a measure to express the weight of a mobile phone?

A. Liter

B. Milliliter

C. Gram

D. Milligram

Answer Explanation:

Here, we are required to find the unit of measuring mass. The SI unit of mass is kilogram but other derived units are grams, milligrams, microgram and more.

A kilogram is a large quantity for measuring heavier objects but grams can used to measure small and light objects such as the mass of the mobile phone. Therefore, gram is the appropriate unit for measuring weight of a mobile phone.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is C.

Q #1: Which of the following is the value of x in the equation below

A. x= -4 or x=2

B. x= -2 or x=3

C. x =-2 or x= 4

D. x= -2 or x= 1

Answer Explanation

we find the value of x by applying the absolute conditions to the given equation.

First, add 2 to both sides of equation

The absolute conditions are:

If , a>0, then u=a or u=-a

In this case a=10, which is greater 0.

The first condition becomes

Add 2 to both sides of the equation

Divide both sides by 4

The second condition becomes

Add 2 to both sides of the equation

Divide both sides by 4

Then, the value of x is 3 or -2.
Q #2: Which of the following is the decimal equivalent of 15/27? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places).

A. 0.56

B. 5.56

C. 3.86

D. 0.36

Answer Explanation

Using a calculator to evaluate 15÷27 results in 0.5555555556. To two decimal places, the answer becomes 0.56.

Thus, 0.56 is the decimal equivalent of 15/27.
Q #3: A recipe calls for 2/9 cup of flour for every 1 2/5 cup of milk. To make a bigger batch, the chef uses 2 cups of flour. Which of the following would be the amount of milk needed for the bigger batch?

A. 12 1/5 cups

B. 12 3/5 cups

C. 8 1/25 cups

D. 10 3/25 cups

Answer Explanation

The number of cups of milk to make a bigger batch, we proceed as follows:

First convert the mixed number 1 2/5 as

Then, we let the unknown number of cups of milk to be x and we set a proportion equation with number cups of floor as numerator and cups of milk as denominator

Find the value of x by cross-products

2 as a fraction is 2/1 which is then used to find the product of the numerator as follows.

Per means division. The above equation becomes

When dividing fractions, we multiply the first fraction with the reciprocal of the second. The reciprocal of 2/9 is 9/2. Thus

The numbers of cups of milk required is 63/5, which when converted to mixed fraction becomes 12 3/5.
