A recipe calls for 5 cups of flour, 1 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1/3 cup of cocoa. Which of the following is the amount of dry ingredients in the recipe? - 6 5/6 At the end of the semester, a student sells 11 books back to the bookstore, earning $173. With the earned money, they pay two $20 parking tickets and a $17 library fine. How much money does the student have left? - $173 - ($20 × 2) - $17 = $116 This is how much money the student has left. A homeowner wants to install vinyl siding on the exterior on the house. The total area on which the siding is to be installed is 225 sq ft. To account for waste, they need to buy 10% additional material. What is the total amount in sq ft, of material the homeowner should buy? - To calculate the total amount of vinyl siding required, first multiply 225 by 0.1. Next, add the result to 225.10% = 10/100 = 0.1 225 × 0.1 = 22.5 225 + 22.5 = 247.5. Which of the following is the simplest form of the expression (2x15-9/3)/(5+35/5) - This is the result of correctly following the order of operations. (2 × 15 - 9 ÷ 3)/(5 + 35 ÷ 5) (30 - 9 ÷ 3)/(5 + 7) (30 - 3)/(12) 27/12 =9/4 The shopper at a local grocery store weighs a bag of apples. the weight is 2.4 pounds (lb). Which of the the following is the weight of the apples? (NOTE: 1 lb = 16 oz) - 38.4 oz 2.4 x 16 oz Assuming 1kg is around 2.205 lb, which of the following is equivalent to 15 kg? - 33.075 lb This is the result of correctly converting 15 kg to pounds by multiplying 15 and 2.205. Mary is planning a trip to western Samoa. Before going, she did some research and learned that the exchange rate is 6 tala for $2. How many tala will she get if she exchanges $325? - 975 tala This can be calculated in two ways. One way is to set up and solve a proportion: 6 Tala/$2 = x/$325. Multiply both sides by $325 to find x: (6 Tala ∙ $325)/$2. Simplify the left side: x = 975 Tala. The second way is to calculate the unit rate (3 Tala per dollar) and multiply $325 by 3. Annette has $200 in her account and she plans to deposit $40 every week into the account. Which of the following expressions represents the amount in her account after n weeks? 200+40n (200+40)n 40+200n (200-40)n - 200+40n This is the result of correctly interpreting that because Annette had $200 in her account and she deposits $40 every week, the amount deposited in n weeks is 40n. Therefore, the total amount after n weeks is 200 + 40n. The average speed a NASA space shuttle travels is 17,500 miles per hour. The distance the space shuttle traveled is 238,855 miles. Which of the following is the travel time of the space shuttle? 43.2 hr 27.2 hr 6.8 hr 13.6 hr - 13.6 hr If the formula distance = rate x time is used to find the time, divide the distance (238,855 miles) by the rate (17,500 miles/hr), which equals approximately 13.6 hr. A customer at a restaurant leaves $80 on the table to pay for the food, a 15% tip, and a 8% sales tax. If both tip and sales tax were calculated from the cost of the food, which of the following was the cost of the food, rounded to the nearest cent? $65.04 $61.60 $62.56 $57.00 - $65.04 This is the result of representing the cost of the food as x, the tip as 0.15x, and the tax as 0.08x, then setting up and solving the equation x + 0.15x + 0.08x = 80. Which of the following correctly solves for x in the equation below? x-5.2 = -2.3 11.96 -7.5 -2.9 2.9 - 2.9 x = -2.3 + 5.2x = 2.9 By adding 5.2 to both sides of the equation there is now an equation equivalent to the original equation. The answer can be checked by placing 2.9 back into the original equation for x: 2.9 - 5.2 = -2.3.
