1A baker uses $\frac{3}{4}$ cup of sugar to make $\frac{1}{2}$ batch of cookies. How many cups of sugar are needed for 1 full batch of cookies?
A.1.5 cups
B.0.375 cups
C.0.667 cups
D.2.25 cups
Explanation: To find the unit rate in cups per batch, divide the amount of sugar by the fraction of a batch: $\frac{3}{4} \div \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{6}{4} = 1.5$ cups per full batch.
2A cyclist travels $\frac{1}{3}$ of a mile in $\frac{1}{4}$ of a minute. What is the cyclist's speed in miles per minute?
A.$\frac{1}{12}$ miles per minute
B.$\frac{4}{3}$ miles per minute
C.$\frac{3}{4}$ miles per minute
D.$\frac{7}{12}$ miles per minute
Explanation: Speed is calculated as distance divided by time: $\frac{1}{3} \div \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{4}{1} = \frac{4}{3}$ miles per minute (or $1\frac{1}{3}$ miles per minute).
3It takes $\frac{2}{5}$ gallon of paint to cover $\frac{1}{10}$ of a wall. How many gallons of paint are needed to cover the entire wall?
A.$\frac{1}{25}$ gallon
B.2.5 gallons
C.4 gallons
D.0.25 gallons
Explanation: Divide the amount of paint by the fraction of wall covered: $\frac{2}{5} \div \frac{1}{10} = \frac{2}{5} \times 10 = 4$ gallons.
4Store A sells $\frac{3}{4}$ pound of almonds for $4.50. Store B sells $\frac{2}{3}$ pound of almonds for $3.60. Which store offers the lower unit price per pound and by how much?
A.Store B is lower by $0.60 per pound
B.Store A is lower by $0.60 per pound
C.Store B is lower by $0.90 per pound
D.Store A is lower by $0.40 per pound
Explanation: Store A's unit rate is $\frac{4.50}{3/4} = 4.50 \times \frac{4}{3} = \$6.00$ per pound. Store B's unit rate is $\frac{3.60}{2/3} = 3.60 \times \frac{3}{2} = \$5.40$ per pound. Store B is lower by $\$6.00 - \$5.40 = \$0.60$ per pound.
5A recipe uses $2\frac{1}{2}$ cups of flour to make $1\frac{1}{4}$ dozen muffins. How many cups of flour are needed per dozen muffins?
A.1.25 cups
B.1.5 cups
C.3.125 cups
D.2 cups
Explanation: Convert to improper fractions: $2\frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2}$ and $1\frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{4}$. Divide cups by dozen: $\frac{5}{2} \div \frac{5}{4} = \frac{5}{2} \times \frac{4}{5} = \frac{20}{10} = 2$ cups per dozen.
6The cost $y$ (in dollars) of purchasing $x$ pounds of apples is given by the proportional equation $y = 3.5x$. What is the constant of proportionality and what does it represent?
A.k = 3.5; it represents the total cost for 3.5 pounds of apples.
B.k = 3.5; it represents the cost per pound of apples in dollars.
C.k = 1; it represents one pound of apples.
D.k = 0.286; it represents the number of pounds you get for $1.00.
Explanation: In the proportional equation $y = kx$, $k$ is the constant of proportionality. Here $k = 3.5$, which represents the unit rate: $3.50 per pound of apples.
7A table shows a proportional relationship: when $x = 2$, $y = 15$; when $x = 4$, $y = 30$; when $x = 6$, $y = 45$. What is the constant of proportionality $k = \frac{y}{x}$?
A.k = 7.5
B.k = 15
C.k = 0.133
D.k = 13
Explanation: The constant of proportionality is $k = \frac{y}{x}$. For each pair, $\frac{15}{2} = 7.5$, $\frac{30}{4} = 7.5$, and $\frac{45}{6} = 7.5$.
8A line representing a proportional relationship passes through the origin $(0, 0)$ and the point $(4, 14)$. Which equation models this relationship?
A.$y = 4x$
B.$y = 0.286x$
C.$y = 3.5x$
D.$y = x + 10$
Explanation: The constant of proportionality is $k = \frac{y}{x} = \frac{14}{4} = 3.5$. Therefore, the equation is $y = 3.5x$.
9A graph displays a proportional relationship between time $x$ (in hours) and distance $y$ (in miles) traveled by a car. The point $(1, 55)$ is on the graph. What does this point represent?
A.The car travels 1 mile in 55 hours.
B.The car travels 55 miles in 1 hour.
C.The car's maximum speed is 55 miles per hour.
D.The total distance traveled after 55 hours is 1 mile.
Explanation: In a graph of time ($x$) versus distance ($y$), the coordinate $(x, y) = (1, 55)$ means that in 1 hour ($x=1$), the car travels 55 miles ($y=55$), which is the unit rate of 55 miles per hour.
10Machine A produces 150 metal parts in 2.5 hours at a constant rate. Machine B produces parts according to the equation $y = 65x$, where $x$ is time in hours and $y$ is total parts produced. Which machine is faster and how many more parts does it produce in 8 hours?
A.Machine B is faster; it produces 40 more parts in 8 hours.
B.Machine A is faster; it produces 40 more parts in 8 hours.
C.Machine B is faster; it produces 5 more parts in 8 hours.
D.Machine A is faster; it produces 20 more parts in 8 hours.
Explanation: Machine A's unit rate is $\frac{150}{2.5} = 60$ parts per hour. Machine B's unit rate is $65$ parts per hour ($k = 65$). Machine B is faster by $5$ parts per hour. In 8 hours, Machine A produces $60 \times 8 = 480$ parts and Machine B produces $65 \times 8 = 520$ parts. Machine B produces $520 - 480 = 40$ more parts.
