Question 1 of 5

A farmer has 240 acres under cultivation at the cost of $188.99 per acre. If he averages a yield of 60 bushels per acre, what profit is expected if the price per bushel is $5.67?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the profit, first find the total revenue: 240 acres 60 bushels/acre $5.67/bushel = $81,648. Then, calculate the total cost: 240 acres $188.99/acre = $45,357.60. Finally, subtract the cost from the revenue to find the profit: $81,648 - $45,357.60 = $36,290.40. Therefore, the expected profit is $36,290.40. Choice B, $45,357.60, is the total cost, not the profit. Choice C, $81,648, is the total revenue, not the profit. Choice D, $44,000, is an arbitrary figure and not related to the calculations provided. Thus, the correct answer is $36,290.40.

Question 2 of 5

Solve for x: 4x + 2 = 18.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To solve for x, first, subtract 2 from both sides of the equation: 4x = 16. Then, divide by 4 to isolate x: x = 4. Choice A, x = 4, is the correct answer as calculated. Choice C, x = 5, is incorrect because the correct value of x is 4, not 5. Choice D, x = 3, is incorrect as well, as the correct value of x is 4, not 3.

Question 3 of 5

How many liters are in 2500 milliliters?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 2.5 liters. There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. To convert 2,500 milliliters to liters, you need to divide by 1,000: 2,500 / 1,000 = 2.5 liters. Choice B (1.5 liters) is incorrect because it miscalculates the conversion. Choice C (3.5 liters) is incorrect as it overestimates the conversion. Choice D (0.25 liters) is incorrect as it underestimates the conversion. Therefore, the correct conversion is 2.5 liters.

Question 4 of 5

A man can type 45 words per minute. How many words can he type in 20 minutes?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To calculate the total number of words typed in 20 minutes, multiply the typing speed per minute (45 words) by the duration in minutes (20 minutes): 45 words/min 20 min = 900 words. Therefore, the correct answer is 900 words. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the accurate calculation based on the given information.
