Q #1: A macaroni and cheese recipe calls for 4/7 cup of flour for every 2 1/5 cup of milk. To make a bigger batch, the chef uses 4 cups of flour. Which of the following would be the amount of milk needed for the bigger batch?

A. 15 1/5 cups

B. 15 2/5

C. 12 8/15 cups

D. 15 cups

To find the required number of cups of milk, we need to set up a proportion equation. If we let x be the required number of cups and cups of flour as numerator and cups of milk in denominator, then the result proportion becomes:

We cannot multiply mixed fractions with any number, so we change 2 1/5 into an improper fraction as

The proportion equation becomes

Cross-multiply to solve for x

As a mixed fraction, 77/5 becomes 15 2/5. Therefore, to make a bigger batch, the chef needs 15 2/5 cups of milk.

Stock price on Wednesday =$(20.68-1.05)=$19.63

Stock price on Thursday = $(19.63+0.95)=$20.58

Therefore, the price of the stock on Thursday was $20.58
