1A water pump fills $\frac{3}{4}$ of a storage tank in $\frac{1}{6}$ of an hour. What is the unit rate at which the pump fills the tank in tanks per hour?

A.$4.5$ tanks per hour

B.$2.25$ tanks per hour

C.$0.125$ tanks per hour

D.$8.0$ tanks per hour

Explanation: To find the unit rate in tanks per hour, divide the fractional amount of tank filled by the time in hours: $\frac{3}{4} \div \frac{1}{6} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{6}{1} = \frac{18}{4} = 4.5$ tanks per hour.

2Elena walks $\frac{2}{5}$ of a mile in $\frac{1}{10}$ of an hour. At this constant speed, what is her walking rate in miles per hour?

A.$2.5$ miles per hour

B.$4$ miles per hour

C.$0.04$ miles per hour

D.$8$ miles per hour

Explanation: Divide the distance by the time: $\frac{2}{5} \div \frac{1}{10} = \frac{2}{5} \times \frac{10}{1} = \frac{20}{5} = 4$ miles per hour.

3The table below shows the cost $y$ for $x$ pounds of organic apples at a local market: - $x = 2$ pounds, $y = \$7.00$ - $x = 4$ pounds, $y = \$14.00$ - $x = 6$ pounds, $y = \$21.00$ - $x = 8$ pounds, $y = \$28.00$ What is the constant of proportionality $k$ in dollars per pound?

A.$2.00$

B.$7.00$

C.$3.50$

D.$0.286$

Explanation: The constant of proportionality is $k = \frac{y}{x}$. Using any pair, such as $\frac{7.00}{2} = 3.50$ or $\frac{14.00}{4} = 3.50$. Thus, $k = \$3.50$ per pound.

4A proportional relationship between the number of hours worked $h$ and total earnings $E$ is represented by the equation $E = 18.25h$. What is the constant of proportionality?

A.$18.25$

B.$1.00$

C.$0.055$

D.$36.50$

Explanation: In a proportional equation of the form $y = kx$, the coefficient of the independent variable $x$ represents the constant of proportionality $k$. Here, $k = 18.25$.

5Which set of ordered pairs $(x, y)$ represents a proportional relationship?

A.$(1, 3), (2, 5), (3, 7), (4, 9)$

B.$(2, 5), (4, 10), (6, 15), (8, 20)$

C.$(0, 2), (2, 4), (4, 6), (6, 8)$

D.$(3, 9), (4, 12), (5, 20), (6, 24)$

Explanation: A set of ordered pairs represents a proportional relationship if $\frac{y}{x}$ is constant for all non-zero pairs. For the set $\{(2, 5), (4, 10), (6, 15), (8, 20)\}$: $\frac{5}{2} = 2.5$, $\frac{10}{4} = 2.5$, $\frac{15}{6} = 2.5$, and $\frac{20}{8} = 2.5$, giving a constant ratio $k = 2.5$.

6A bakery recipe calls for $3$ cups of flour to make $4$ servings of muffins. How many cups of flour are needed to make $14$ servings using the same ratio?

A.$10.5$ cups

B.$12.0$ cups

C.$9.5$ cups

D.$18.6$ cups

Explanation: Set up a proportion: $\frac{3\text{ cups}}{4\text{ servings}} = \frac{x\text{ cups}}{14\text{ servings}}$. Cross-multiply to get $4x = 42 \implies x = 10.5$ cups.

7A grocery store sells Brand A cereal in a 16-ounce box for $\$3.20$ and Brand B cereal in a 24-ounce box for $\$4.56$. Which brand is the better buy per ounce, and by how much?

A.Brand B is cheaper by $\$0.01$ per ounce

B.Brand A is cheaper by $\$0.01$ per ounce

C.Brand B is cheaper by $\$0.05$ per ounce

D.Both brands have equal unit prices

Explanation: Find unit prices: Brand A is $\frac{\$3.20}{16} = \$0.20$ per ounce. Brand B is $\frac{\$4.56}{24} = \$0.19$ per ounce. Brand B is cheaper by $\$0.20 - \$0.19 = \$0.01$ per ounce.

8The quantities $x$ and $y$ are directly proportional. What is the value of $N$ in the table below? - $x = 3, y = 12$ - $x = 5, y = 20$ - $x = 9, y = N$

A.$24$

B.$36$

C.$45$

D.$29$

Explanation: Find the constant of proportionality $k = \frac{y}{x} = \frac{12}{3} = 4$. Apply to $x = 9$: $N = 4 \times 9 = 36$.

9The graph of a proportional relationship passes through the origin $(0, 0)$, $(1, r)$, and $(4, 18)$. What is the value of $r$?

A.$4.5$

B.$14.0$

C.$7.2$

D.$2.25$

Explanation: The point $(1, r)$ gives the unit rate $r$, which is equal to the constant of proportionality $k = \frac{y}{x}$. Using $(4, 18)$, $k = \frac{18}{4} = 4.5$. Therefore, $r = 4.5$.

10The price of a video game increased from $\$45.00$ to $\$54.00$. What was the percent increase in price?

A.$20\%$

B.$16.7\%$

C.$9\%$

D.$25\%$

Explanation: Percent increase $= \frac{\text{Amount of Increase}}{\text{Original Price}} \times 100\%$. The increase is $\$54.00 - \$45.00 = \$9.00$. Then, $\frac{9}{45} = 0.20 = 20\%$.
