A recipe calls for 3 teaspoons of vanilla. 1 teaspoon equals approximately 4.93 mL. Which of the following is the correct amount of vanilla in mL?
A. 34.33 mL
B. 9.58 mL
C. 10.49 mL
D. 14.79 mL
To find the amount of vanilla in mL, use dimensional analysis of the units of measurements.
Two ways to convert between teaspoon and mL are:
Since we are required to find the amount in mL, we use a cionverstioon that will result in mL. Inspecting the above options, we use the second option and set up an equation in way the unwanted units cancel out and leave the wanted unit we are looking for. Then,
Thus, a recipe of 3 teaspoons equals 14.79 mL.
Therefore, the Correct Answer is D.

Q #1: Which of the following is the best approximation of 3 times the positive square root of 19?
A. 57
B. 13.1
C. 21.7
D. 6.9
Answer Explanation
We use the calculator to find the positive square root of 19, which is then multiplied by 3.
Using the calculator,
Multiplying the square root above with 3 becomes
The approximate value of 3 times the square root of 19 is 13.1.

Q #2: The American with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that the slope of a wheelchair ramp be no greater than 1:12. Which of the following is the minimum length of a ramp needed to provide access to a door that is 1.5 feet above the sidewalk?
A. 12 feet
B. 4.5 feet
C. 3 feet
D. 18 feet
Answer Explanation
We use the given slope to find the minimum length of the ramp. In this case, slope is the ratio of height to length of the lamp. Thus,
If we let x be the minimum length of the ramp. Then,
Substituting the value of slope into the above equation results in,
Solve for value of x by cross-products
X = 18 Feet
Thus, the minimum length of the ramp needed to provide access to a door that is 1.5 high is 18 feet.

Q #3: Solve for A in the equation below. Diagram:
A. A = t(kr+P)
B. A = (kr+P)/t
C. A = P-kr/t
D. A = kr-t/P
Answer Explanation
P-At=-kr
Subtract P on both sides
P-P-At=-kr-P
-At=-kr-P
Divide both sides by -t
-At/-t=(-kr-P)/-t
A=(kr+P)/t
