Question 1 of 5

A pizza has a diameter of 40cm. What is its perimeter (circumference)?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: The correct answer is obtained by applying the formula for the circumference of a circle, which is \(C = \pi \times d\), where \(d\) is the diameter of the circle. By substituting the given diameter of 40cm into the formula and performing the calculation, we find that the circumference of the pizza is 125.6cm.

Question 2 of 5

What is the result of dividing 5 3/4 by 1/2?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: When dividing fractions, you multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor. To divide 5 3/4 by 1/2, you multiply 5 3/4 by 2/1 (reciprocal of 1/2) to get 23/4 * 2/1 = 46/4 = 11 1/2. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (2 & 3/8) is incorrect as it does not result from dividing 5 3/4 by 1/2. Choice C (3 & 1/8) is incorrect as well. Choice D (18) is not the correct result of the division performed.

Question 3 of 5

Add: 3 1/8 + 1 1/4.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To add mixed numbers, first add the fractions: 1/8 + 1/4 = 3/8. Then, add the whole numbers: 3 + 1 = 4. Therefore, 3 1/8 + 1 1/4 = 4 3/8. Choice B (4 1/2) is incorrect because the fractions were not added correctly, leading to an incorrect result. Choice C (4 3/4) is incorrect as it does not represent the correct sum of the two mixed numbers. Choice D (5 1/4) is incorrect as it provides a result that is higher than the correct sum of the mixed numbers.

Question 4 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 5 of 5

How many pounds are in 48 ounces?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert ounces to pounds, you need to know that there are 16 ounces in a pound. Therefore, to find out how many pounds are in 48 ounces, you divide 48 by 16: 48 · 16 = 3 pounds. This means that 48 ounces is equivalent to 3 pounds. Choice B, 6 lbs, is incorrect as it doesn't correctly convert 48 ounces to pounds. Choice C, 4 lbs, is incorrect as it doesn't take into account the conversion factor of 16 ounces per pound. Choice D, 8 lbs, is also incorrect as it doesn't reflect the accurate conversion of ounces to pounds.
