Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To subtract mixed numbers, subtract the whole numbers and fractions separately. If necessary, borrow from the whole number when the fraction in the minuend is smaller than the fraction in the subtrahend. The whole numbers are: 25 - 12 = 13. The fractions: 1/7 - 5/7. Since 1/7 is smaller, borrow 1 from 13, making it 12. Then convert 1 whole into 7/7, so the fraction becomes: (7/7 + 1/7) - 5/7 = 8/7 - 5/7 = 3/7. Thus, 25 1/7 - 12 5/7 = 12 3/7.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To change a fraction into a ratio, you replace the fraction bar (/) with a colon (:). Therefore, 19/40 as a ratio is written as 19:40. Choice B (40:19) is incorrect as it reverses the order of the numbers. Choice C (19:4) is incorrect as it uses the denominator as the second number, which is not the correct way to represent a ratio. Choice D (40:4) is incorrect as it does not reflect the original fraction accurately.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find out how many cups of sugar are needed for 90 cookies when 4 cups make 120 cookies, set up a proportion: 4/120 = x/90. Cross multiply to get 120x = 4 * 90. Solve for x to find x = 360/120 = 3. Therefore, 3 cups of sugar are needed for 90 cookies. Choice B (2 cups), Choice C (1.5 cups), and Choice D (4 cups) are incorrect because they do not align with the correct proportion calculation. The correct calculation shows that 3 cups of sugar are required for 90 cookies, as the recipe proportionally reduces when making fewer cookies.
