Question 1 of 5
Ratio and Proportion: 0.5:20 :: X:200
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To solve this proportion problem, you need to set up the ratio 0.5/20 equal to X/200. Cross-multiply to solve for X, which gives you 0.5 � 200 = 20X. Simplifying this, you get 100 = 20X, and then by dividing both sides by 20, you find that X = 5. Therefore, the correct answer is A, X = 50.
Question 2 of 5
How many ounces (oz) are in 3/4 pint?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert 3/4 pint to ounces, you need to know that 1 pint is equal to 16 ounces. To find out how many ounces are in 3/4 pint, you multiply 3/4 by 16. This calculation gives us 12 ounces. Therefore, there are 12 ounces in 3/4 pint. Remember, when converting between different units of measurement, it is crucial to understand the relationship between the two units to perform accurate conversions.
Question 3 of 5
If 5 is to 30 as X is to 1, find the value of X. (Round to the nearest tenth.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find the value of X, set up a proportion: 5/30 = X/1. Cross-multiply to get 5 = 30X. Divide both sides by 30, which gives X = 5/30 = 0.1667. When rounded to the nearest tenth, X is 0.2, which is equivalent to 6 when rounded to a whole number. Therefore, the value of X is 6.
Question 4 of 5
Ratio and Proportion: 0.5:20 :: X:200
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To solve this proportion problem, you need to set up the ratio 0.5/20 equal to X/200. Cross-multiply to solve for X, which gives you 0.5 � 200 = 20X. Simplifying this, you get 100 = 20X, and then by dividing both sides by 20, you find that X = 5. Therefore, the correct answer is A, X = 50.
Question 5 of 5
Sally eats 3/5 of her lunch. John eats 75%. Who ate more?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To compare the amount each person ate, we need to convert the fractions to percentages. Sally ate 3/5, which is equivalent to 60%. John ate 75%. By comparing 60% to 75%, we find that John ate more. Therefore, the correct answer is John, as he consumed a higher percentage of his lunch than Sally did.
