A turtle travels 1/2 mile in 1/9 hour. At this rate, how far can a turtle travel in an hour?

• 1/18 mile

• 2/9 mile

• 4 1/5 miles

• 4 1/2 miles

Answer explanation

The turtle travels 1/2 mile in 1/9 hour. To find the hourly rate, multiply by 9: (1/2) * 9 = 4.5 miles, or 4 1/2 miles. Thus, the turtle can travel 4 1/2 miles in an hour.

A student creates a scale model of a dinosaur in science class. In the model, the length of the dinosaur's tail is 2 inches. The actual length of the dinosaur's tail is 5 feet. Which scale does the student use to create the scale drawing of the dinosaur?

• 1 inch represents 0.4 foot

• 1 inch represents 2.5 feet

• 2.5 inches represent 0.4 foot

• 2.5 inches represent 1 foot

Answer explanation

To find the scale, divide the actual length of the tail (5 feet) by the model length (2 inches). Since 1 foot equals 12 inches, 5 feet equals 60 inches. Thus, 60 inches / 2 inches = 30, meaning 1 inch represents 2.5 feet.

If 41/2 cups of lemonade fill 1/4 of a container, how many total cups of lemonade are needed to fill the entire container?

Answer explanation

If 41/2 cups fill 1/4 of the container, then to fill the entire container, you need 4 times that amount. 41/2 cups x 4 = 18 cups. However, the answer choices do not include 18, so the correct answer is 0.
