Cognitive demand: medium. Typical question shape: Equivalent forms of percent (e.g., 25% = 1/4 = 0.25).
Imani is planning a school fundraiser and needs to buy supplies. She has a budget of $150. If she spends $30 on decorations and $60 on snacks, what fraction of her total budget has she spent so far?
- 1/2
- 3/5 ✓
- 1/3
- 1/4
Why: To find the fraction of the budget Imani has spent, first add her expenses: $30 for decorations and $60 for snacks, which totals $90. Next, divide her total spending by her budget: $90 / $150 = 3/5. This means Imani has spent 3/5 of her total budget so far.
Saanvi is organizing a community picnic in Wichita Falls, Texas. She has invited 120 people, and she wants to ensure that 25% of them will be children. How many children does she expect to attend the picnic?
- 30 ✓
- 25
- 20
- 15
Why: To find out how many children Saanvi expects to attend the picnic, we calculate 25% of 120. First, convert the percentage to a fraction: 25% equals 25/100, which simplifies to 1/4. Now, we can multiply: 120 * 1/4 = 30. Therefore, Saanvi expects 30 children to attend the picnic.
Ananya is preparing for the Fredericksburg German Fest and wants to make pretzels. She has a recipe that requires 3/4 of a cup of water for every batch of pretzels. If Ananya wants to make 5 batches, how many cups of water will she need in total?
- 3 3/4 ✓
- 4 1/2
- 3
- 5 1/4
Why: To find the total cups of water needed, multiply the amount of water per batch (3/4 cups) by the number of batches (5). This gives us 3/4 * 5 = 15/4, which is equal to 3 3/4 cups. Therefore, Ananya will need 3 3/4 cups of water in total.
Maria is working on a garden project in her backyard in Austin. She decides to plant bluebonnets and sunflowers. The ratio of bluebonnets to sunflowers she wants is 3 to 4. If she plans to plant a total of 70 flowers, how many bluebonnets will she plant?
- 30 ✓
- 40
- 25
- 35
Why: To find out how many bluebonnets Maria will plant, we first determine the total parts in the ratio. The ratio of bluebonnets to sunflowers is 3:4, which means there are 3 + 4 = 7 total parts. Now, we divide the total number of flowers by the total parts: 70 / 7 = 10. Each part is equal to 10 flowers. Since bluebonnets take up 3 parts, we multiply: 3 * 10 = 30. Therefore, Maria will plant 30 bluebonnets.
Carolina went to a farmers market in Fredericksburg and bought oranges and apples. The price of oranges is $0.75 per pound, and she bought 4 pounds of oranges. The price of apples is $1.20 per pound, and she bought 3 pounds of apples. What is the total amount that Carolina spent at the market?
- $5.40
- $6.00
- $6.60 ✓
- $7.20
Why: To find the total amount spent, first calculate the cost of the oranges: 4 pounds × $0.75 = $3.00. Then, calculate the cost of the apples: 3 pounds × $1.20 = $3.60. Finally, add the two amounts together: $3.00 + $3.60 = $6.60. Therefore, the total amount that Carolina spent at the market is $6.60.
Aaliyah is helping her family at their ranch in Texas. They need to make a mixture of feed for the cattle that consists of corn and oats in a ratio of 3:2. If they want to prepare 25 pounds of this feed mixture, how many pounds of corn will they need?
- 15 pounds ✓
- 10 pounds
- 12 pounds
- 5 pounds
Why: To find how many pounds of corn are needed, first, calculate the total parts in the ratio 3:2, which is 3 + 2 = 5 parts. Then, determine how many pounds of feed each part represents by dividing the total weight by the number of parts: 25 pounds ÷ 5 parts = 5 pounds per part. Finally, since corn represents 3 parts, multiply the weight of each part by 3: 5 pounds * 3 = 15 pounds of corn. Therefore, the correct answer is 15 pounds.
Ricardo is planting a garden in his backyard in Fort Worth, Texas. He has a total of 30 flower plants, consisting of sunflowers, marigolds, and zinnias. If the number of marigolds is three times the number of sunflowers and the total number of sunflowers and marigolds combined is 24, how many zinnias does he have?
- 6 ✓
- 12
- 18
- 8
Why: To find the number of zinnias, start by letting the number of sunflowers be x. Then, the number of marigolds would be 3x. We know that the total of sunflowers and marigolds is 24, so we can set up the equation: x + 3x = 24. This simplifies to 4x = 24, giving us x = 6 for the sunflowers. Therefore, the number of marigolds, which is 3x, becomes 18. Now, since Ricardo has a total of 30 plants and we found 6 sunflowers and 18 marigolds, we can find the number of zinnias: 30 - (6 + 18) = 6. Thus, Ricardo has 6 zinnias.
Sebastian is at the Gulf Coast near Galveston, where he is observing dolphins. He notices that 60% of the dolphins he sees are jumping out of the water. If he spots a total of 25 dolphins, how many are jumping out of the water?
- 15 ✓
- 20
- 12
- 10
Why: To find how many dolphins are jumping out of the water, calculate 60% of 25. First, convert 60% to a decimal by dividing 60 by 100, which equals 0.6. Then, multiply 0.6 by 25: 0.6 * 25 = 15. Therefore, 15 dolphins are jumping out of the water.
