If it costs $90 to feed a family of 3 for one week, how much will it cost to feed a family of 5 for one week?
- $180.00
- $30.00
- $120.00
- $150.00
Correct Answer

A. $150.00

Explanation

The cost to feed a family of 3 for one week is $90. To find the cost to feed a family of 5 for one week, we can set up a proportion. If 3 people cost $90, then 1 person would cost $90/3 = $30. Therefore, 5 people would cost 5*$30 = $150.

In a school, there are four boy scouts to every three girl scouts. If there are forty-two girl scouts, how many boy scouts are there?
- 56 boy scouts
- 56 girl scouts
- 31.5 girl scouts
- 31.5 boy scouts
- 48 boy scouts
Correct Answer

A. 56 boy scouts

Explanation

Since the ratio of boy scouts to girl scouts is 4:3, we can set up a proportion to find the number of boy scouts. If there are 42 girl scouts, we can set up the proportion 4/3 = x/42, where x represents the number of boy scouts. Cross-multiplying, we get 4 * 42 = 3 * x, which simplifies to 168 = 3x. Dividing both sides by 3, we find that x = 56. Therefore, there are 56 boy scouts.

To make green paint, Jack mixes yellow paint and blue paint in a ratio of three to two. If he used twelve gallons of yellow paint, how much blue paint did he use?
- 4
- 6
- 7
- 8
- 12
Correct Answer

A. 8

Explanation

Jack mixes yellow paint and blue paint in a ratio of three to two. This means that for every three gallons of yellow paint, he uses two gallons of blue paint. If he used twelve gallons of yellow paint, he would need to use eight gallons of blue paint.

On a triangle, each side measures 5 cm, 10 cm, and 30 cm, respectively. In the lowest terms, find the ratios of the lengths of the sides.
- 1:2:6
- 5:10:30
- .5:1:3
- 5/10/30
Correct Answer

A. 1:2:6

Explanation

The ratios of the lengths of the sides can be found by dividing each side length by the smallest side length. In this case, the smallest side length is 5 cm. Dividing the other side lengths by 5 gives us the ratios 1:2:6.

Crystal mixed orange juice, fruit punch concentrate, and ginger ale in the ratio of 2:2:4 to make a special drink. To make 4 liters, how much of each ingredient should she use?
- 2L orange, 2L punch, 4L ginger ale
- 8L orange, 8L punch, 16L ginger ale
- 2L orange, 1L punch, 1L ginger ale
- 1L orange, 1L punch, 2L ginger ale
Correct Answer

A. 1L orange, 1L punch, 2L ginger ale

Explanation

Crystal mixed orange juice, fruit punch concentrate, and ginger ale in the ratio of 2:2:4. This means that for every 2 parts of orange juice, she used 2 parts of fruit punch concentrate and 4 parts of ginger ale. To make 4 liters of the special drink, she needs to use 1 part of orange juice, 1 part of fruit punch concentrate, and 2 parts of ginger ale. Therefore, she should use 1 liter of orange juice, 1 liter of fruit punch concentrate, and 2 liters of ginger ale.

A rectangle measures 20cm at its width and 5 cm at its length. Find the ratio of the length to the width to the perimeter of the rectangle in the lowest form.
- 1:4:10
- 4:1:10
- 5:20:50
- 20:5:50
- None of the above
Correct Answer

A. 1:4:10

Explanation

The ratio of the length to the width to the perimeter of the rectangle is 1:4:10. This can be determined by dividing the length and width by their greatest common divisor, which is 5 in this case. The length divided by 5 is 1, the width divided by 5 is 4, and the perimeter divided by 5 is 10. Therefore, the lowest form of the ratio is 1:4:10.

Brandon received $50 dollars for his paper route. He spent $20 dollars at the movies, and $10 dollars buying comic books then after buying $5 worth of popcorn, he saved the rest. What is the ratio of the amount of money spent buying comic books and popcorn, to the amount saved?
- 10:5:15
- 15:15
- 1:1
- 2:1:3
- 1:2:3
Correct Answer

A. 1:1

Explanation

Brandon spent a total of $10 on comic books and $5 on popcorn, which adds up to $15. He saved the rest, which is $50 - $15 = $35. The ratio of the amount spent on comic books and popcorn to the amount saved is therefore 15:35, which simplifies to 1:1.
