Sophia peered her eyes up, slowly browsing around the classroom. Everyone wrote furiously, some people stopping to shake cramps out of their hands. She looked back down at her exam:
You want to cut a recipe for cookies by one third (that is, you want to make only 2/3 of a full batch of cookies). Your measuring cup is marked with fourths of a cup and also milliliters. The recipe calls for 4 cups of flour. How many milliliters of flour are required for your reduced recipe?
A) 237
B) 632
C) 1264
D) 1896
Crap, now I'm hungry. Alright, focus Sophia, focus. I've got cups and milliliters. Wait, how much is a milliliter again? 100? oh no, it's definitely .10. But it's gotta be a high number if there are such big numbered options..., Sophia's mind began to race. She tried to open every file cabinet in her brain, bring back every memory of her sitting in math class and staring at the bored. Her palms began to sweat and her stomach growled once more. This was only the Math A Regents and she only had to pass...
