If a recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar and you want to make half of the recipe, how many cups of sugar do you need?
- A. 1 cup
- B. 1.5 cups
- C. 2 cups
- D. 0.5 cups
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To make half of the recipe that calls for 2 cups of sugar, you would need 1 cup of sugar. Choice A is correct because half of 2 cups is 1 cup. Choice B (1.5 cups) is incorrect as it is three-quarters of the original amount, not half. Choice C (2 cups) is the amount required for the full recipe, not for half. Choice D (0.5 cups) is half of 1 cup, not half of 2 cups.

If x=11, solve (x+44)/2x.
- A. 33
- B. 2.5
- C. 13
- D. 55/22
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Given x=11, substitute into the expression: (11 + 44) / (2*11) = 55 / 22 = 2.5. Therefore, the correct answer is 2.5.
Choice A (33) is incorrect as it does not represent the correct calculation. Choice C (13) is incorrect as it is not the result of the expression. Choice D (55/22) is incorrect as it is the same as the simplified form of the expression, not the answer to the calculation.
A baker can bake 4 cakes with 10 cups of sugar. If he has a 30-cup bag that is half full, how many cakes can he bake?
- A. 6 cakes
- B. 5 cakes
- C. 7 cakes
- D. 8 cakes
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: If the 30-cup bag is half full, it contains 15 cups of sugar. Since 10 cups are needed to bake 4 cakes, the baker can bake 4 * (15 / 10) = 6 cakes. Therefore, the correct answer is 6 cakes. Choice B, 5 cakes, is incorrect as it does not consider the correct sugar-to-cake ratio. Choices C and D are incorrect as they do not accurately calculate the number of cakes based on the available sugar.
If Andy runs five times as long as Jake, and Jake runs 24.5 miles each week, how many miles does Andy run in a day?
- A. 17.5
- B. 17.7
- C. 16.5
- D. 18.2
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find how many miles Andy runs in a day, we need to calculate the distance Andy runs in a week. Since Andy runs five times as long as Jake, Andy runs 5 * 24.5 = 122.5 miles per week. To convert this to miles per day, we divide by 7 (days in a week): 122.5 / 7 = 17.5 miles per day. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the calculation based on the given ratio.
Convert 5 3/4 to a decimal. Round it to the nearest tenth.
- A. 5.75
- B. 5.7
- C. 6
- D. 5.8
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To convert 5 3/4 to a decimal, divide the numerator (3) by the denominator (4) to get 0.75. Adding this to the whole number 5 results in 5.75. When rounding to the nearest tenth, 5.75 rounds to 5.8. Choice A, 5.75, is the exact conversion before rounding, so it is incorrect. Choice B, 5.7, is incorrect because it does not account for the 0.05 difference when rounding. Choice C, 6, is incorrect as it is the closest whole number but not a decimal approximation. Therefore, the correct answer is 5.8.
Leslie is blowing up her favorite photograph. If the photo's original height was 15 inches and the new height is 4 feet, how many feet must the new width be?
- A. 2.1 feet
- B. 4 feet
- C. 3 feet
- D. 5 feet
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find the new width, we need to maintain the aspect ratio of the photo. The original height is 15 inches, which is equivalent to 1.25 feet. If the new height is 4 feet, the scaling factor for the height is 4/1.25 = 3.2. Therefore, to find the new width, we multiply the original width by this scaling factor: 1.25 feet * 3.2 ≈ 4 feet. So, the correct answer is approximately 2.1 feet (4 feet * (15 inches / 4 feet) ≈ 2.1 feet). Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not consider the aspect ratio and calculate the new width incorrectly.
