3. QuestionMultiple choice

If y=3xy = 3x, what is yy when x=4x = 4?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 12.

  1. Identify the ratio or rate: Write the quantities in the order given and keep the units or labels clear.
  2. Use equivalent relationships: Substitute 4 for x: y=3×4=12y = 3 \times 4 = 12.
  3. Check the result: The correct choice is 12.

Substitute 4 for x: y=3×4=12y = 3 \times 4 = 12.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

A ratio changes from 5:25:2 to 20:820:8. What is the scale factor?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 4.

  1. Identify the ratio or rate: Write the quantities in the order given and keep the units or labels clear.
  2. Use equivalent relationships: The first part changes from 5 to 20, and 20÷5=420 \div 5 = 4. Both parts are multiplied by 4.
  3. Check the result: The correct choice is 4.

The first part changes from 5 to 20, and 20÷5=420 \div 5 = 4. Both parts are multiplied by 4.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the simplest form of 6:106:10?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 3:53:5.

  1. Identify the ratio or rate: Write the quantities in the order given and keep the units or labels clear.
  2. Use equivalent relationships: Divide both parts by their greatest common factor, 2: 6÷2=36 \div 2 = 3 and 10÷2=510 \div 2 = 5.
  3. Check the result: The correct choice is 3:53:5.

Divide both parts by their greatest common factor, 2: 6÷2=36 \div 2 = 3 and 10÷2=510 \div 2 = 5.

6. QuestionMultiple choice
