Chapter 2 Rates, Ratios, and Proportions At a supermarket, there is a sale of a 4L jug of juice for $3.99, a 2.5L bottle of Pop for $2.49, and a 900mL bottle of soda for $1.99. Which of the following is the best buy? (hint; convert L to mL)
- A.
Bottle of Pop
- B.
Bottle of Soda
- C.
Jug of Juice
Correct Answer
A. Bottle of PopExplanation
For the 4L jug of juice: Price per mL = Total price / Total volume = $3.99 / (4L * 1000 mL/L) (converting liters to milliliters) = $3.99 / 4000 mL = $0.0009975/mL
For the 2.5L bottle of pop: Price per mL = Total price / Total volume = $2.49 / (2.5L * 1000 mL/L) = $2.49 / 2500 mL = $0.000996/mL
For the 900mL bottle of soda: Price per mL = Total price / Total volume = $1.99 / 900 mL = $0.002211/mL
Comparing the prices per milliliter, we find that the 2.5L bottle of pop has the lowest price per milliliter, making it the best buy.Rate this question:

Determine side "b" is a= 7cm, and c= 22cm of the right triangle:
- A.
435cm
- B.
43.5cm
- C.
20.8cm
- D.
22.5cm
Correct Answer
C. 20.8cmExplanation
The length of side "b" in a right triangle can be determined using the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (side c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (a and b). In this case, we are given that side a is 7cm and side c is 22cm. By rearranging the formula, we can solve for side b: b^2 = c^2 - a^2. Plugging in the given values, we get b^2 = 22^2 - 7^2. Simplifying, we find that b^2 = 484 - 49, which is equal to 435. Taking the square root of 435, we get approximately 20.8cm. Therefore, the correct answer is 20.8cm.Rate this question:

A sale is going on at a sports store. A jersey is on sale for 20% off its original price of $250.00, plus GST of 5% what is the total cost of the jersey?
- A.
$210.00
- B.
$185.00
- C.
$200.00
- D.
$168.00
Correct Answer
A. $210.00Explanation
The original price of the jersey is $250.00. The sale price is 20% off, which means it is discounted by $50.00 (20% of $250.00). So, the sale price of the jersey is $200.00 ($250.00 - $50.00). Additionally, GST of 5% is applied to the sale price, which is $10.00 (5% of $200.00). Therefore, the total cost of the jersey is $210.00 ($200.00 + $10.00).Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. 5/6Explanation
The given question is asking to determine the sum of four fractions, 5/6, 5/6, 5/6, and 5/6, and round the answer in lowest terms. To find the sum, we add the numerators (5+5+5+5) which equals 20, and keep the denominator the same (6). So, the sum is 20/6. To simplify the fraction to lowest terms, we divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2. Dividing 20 by 2 gives us 10, and dividing 6 by 2 gives us 3. Therefore, the simplified fraction is 10/3, which is equivalent to 3 and 1/3.Rate this question:
