Jeremy buys a value pack of cheese crackers that contains 42 1/2 ounces of crackers. He divides this into servings of 1 1/4 ounces each. What is the total number of servings Jeremy can make from the value pack?
A 8 1/2 servings
B 34 servings
C.43 3/4servings
D. 53 servings
To find the total number of servings, we divide the total number of ounces by the number of ounces per serving.
If Jeremy has 42 1/2 ounces of crackers and each serving is 1 1/4 ounces, we divide 42.5 by 1.25.
42.5 ÷ 1.25 = 34
Therefore, Jeremy can make 34 servings from the value pack of cheese crackers.
The answer is B. 34 servings.
A hot air balloon leaves the ground and rises to an elevation of 1,100 feet. During the next 30 minutes, it descends 500 feet, rises 950 feet, descends 375 feet, and finally passes over a school. What is the elevation of the balloon when it passes over the school?
A.
1,025 feet
B.
1,100 feet
C.
1,175 feet
D.
1,550 feet
To determine the elevation of the balloon when it passes over the school, we need to calculate its net change in elevation.
The balloon starts at an elevation of 1,100 feet and then descends 500 feet, rises 950 feet, and descends 375 feet.
Net elevation change = (-500) + 950 + (-375) = 75 feet
To find the elevation of the balloon when it passes over the school, we add the net elevation change to the starting elevation of 1,100 feet.
Elevation of balloon when passing over school = 1,100 + 75 = 1,175 feet
Therefore, the elevation of the balloon when it passes over the school is 1,175 feet.
The answer is C. 1,175 feet.

Multiple Choice Question
Aaron works 3 1/2 hours every Saturday at a rate of $7.25 per hour. He is paid every four weeks. If his boss gives him a $1.00 raise, how much will Aaron be paid in his next paycheck?
A.
$95.70
B.
$101.50
C.
$108.90
D.
$115.50
To find Aaron's current pay, we multiply the number of hours he works (3 1/2 hours) by his current rate of pay ($7.25 per hour).
3 1/2 hours = 7/2 hours
Current pay = (7/2 hours) * ($7.25 per hour)
= $7 * 7/2
= $49/2
= $24.50
Since he is paid every four weeks, we need to multiply his current pay by the number of weeks to get his pay for one paycheck.
Paycheck amount = $24.50 * 4
= $98.00
Now, if he gets a $1.00 raise, we add that to his current pay to calculate his new pay in the next paycheck.
New paycheck amount = $98.00 + $1.00
= $99.00
Therefore, Aaron will be paid $99.00 in his next paycheck.

wrong pick one of the provided answers
My apologies for the incorrect response. Let's recalculate Aaron's pay with the raise.
Aaron's current pay is $7.25 per hour, and he works for 3 1/2 hours every Saturday.
To find his current pay, we multiply the number of hours he works by his rate of pay:
Current pay = (3 1/2 hours) * ($7.25 per hour)
= (7/2 hours) * ($7.25 per hour)
= $36.75
Since Aaron is paid every four weeks, his pay for one paycheck is:
Paycheck amount = $36.75 * 4
= $147
With the $1.00 raise, his new pay in the next paycheck will be:
New paycheck amount = $147 + $1
= $148
Therefore, Aaron will be paid $148 in his next paycheck.
The answer is not among the given options.
What is the value of the expression
2/3(-6+4)?
A.0
B.- 2/3
C.4/3
D.-4/3
To evaluate the expression 2/3(-6+4), we need to simplify the expression within the parentheses first.
-6 + 4 = -2
Now, we can substitute this value back into the expression:
2/3(-2)
To multiply a fraction by a whole number, we can multiply the numerator (2) by the whole number (-2) and keep the denominator (3) the same:
(-2) * (2) = -4
Therefore, the value of the expression 2/3(-6+4) is -4/3.
The answer is D. -4/3.
