  1. A recipe calls for 3 cups of flour and 2 cups of sugar. If you want to make 1.5 times the recipe, how many cups of flour do you need?

    Answer: 4.5

    Multiply 3 × 1.5 = 4.5 cups of flour.

  2. A car travels 150 miles using 5 gallons of gas. At the same rate, how many gallons are needed to travel 270 miles?

    Answer: 9

    Set up the proportion 150/5 = 270/x, giving x = 270 × 5 / 150 = 9 gallons.

  3. What is 35% of 200?

    Answer: 70

    35% × 200 = 0.35 × 200 = 70.

  4. A class has 18 boys and 12 girls. What is the ratio of girls to the total number of students?

    Answer: 2:5

    Total = 30; girls to total = 12:30 = 2:5.

  5. If 40% of a number is 56, what is the number?

    Answer: 140

    56 / 0.40 = 140.

  6. A map uses a scale of 1 inch : 25 miles. Two cities are 3.5 inches apart on the map. What is the actual distance?

    Answer: 87.5 miles

    3.5 × 25 = 87.5 miles.

  7. A price increased from $80 to $100. What is the percent increase?

    Answer: 25%

    (100 − 80) / 80 × 100 = 20/80 × 100 = 25%.
