A gross is equal to 12 dozen. If Lanyard Farms sells 15 gross of eggs a week and packages them in one dozen egg containers, how many containers do they need for a week's worth of eggs?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Given that a gross is equal to 12 dozen, 15 gross of eggs would be equal to 15 * 12 = 180 dozen eggs. Since the eggs are packaged in one dozen egg containers, Lanyard Farms would need 180 containers for a week's worth of eggs. Choice A (15) is incorrect as it represents the number of gross, not containers. Choice B (150) is incorrect as it miscalculates the total number of containers needed. Choice D (2,160) is incorrect as it overestimates the number of containers required.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: When dividing 727 by 6, the quotient is 121 with a remainder of 1. The correct answer is, therefore, 121 r1. Choice A (120 r1) is incorrect as the quotient is 121, not 120. Choice B (120 r3) is also incorrect as the remainder should be 1, not 3. Choice D (127 r3) is incorrect as both the quotient and remainder are different from the correct values obtained by dividing 727 by 6.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Latoya practices her flute for 15 minutes every day. In two weeks (14 days), the total time spent practicing can be calculated as 15 minutes/day * 14 days = 210 minutes. To convert 210 minutes to hours, divide by 60 (since there are 60 minutes in an hour): 210 / 60 = 3 hours 30 minutes. Therefore, Latoya spends 3 hours 30 minutes practicing her flute over a period of two weeks. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the total time Latoya spends practicing over two weeks.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find 35% of a number, you multiply the number by 0.35. In this case, 35% of 70 is calculated as 70 x 0.35 = 24.5. Choice A (17.5) is incorrect because it represents 25% of 70. Choice C (35) is incorrect as it is the percentage itself, not the result of the calculation. Choice D (50) is incorrect as it does not represent the result of finding 35% of 70.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. To convert 2,500 milliliters to liters, you divide by 1,000: 2,500 milliliters / 1,000 = 2.5 liters. Therefore, choice A, '2.5 liters,' is the correct answer. Choice B, '25 liters,' is incorrect as it would be the result if you mistakenly multiplied instead of dividing. Choice C, '250 liters,' is incorrect as it is 100 times the correct answer. Choice D, '25,000 liters,' is significantly higher and not a conversion error but an order of magnitude error.
