Question 1 of 9

How many pounds are in 160 ounces?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 10 pounds. There are 16 ounces in a pound. To convert 160 ounces to pounds, you need to divide 160 by 16, which equals 10 pounds. Choice B, 8 pounds, is incorrect because it does not account for the correct conversion factor. Choice C, 5 pounds, is incorrect as it is not the result of dividing 160 by 16. Choice D, 12 pounds, is incorrect as it overestimates the conversion.

Question 4 of 9

How many chickens are needed to produce 24 eggs in 24 hours if it takes 2 chickens to produce 6 eggs in 24 hours?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To produce 24 eggs in 24 hours, 4 times the number of chickens needed to produce 6 eggs is required. Since it takes 2 chickens to produce 6 eggs, 8 chickens are needed to produce 24 eggs in the same time frame. Choice B, 12 chickens, is incorrect because it doesn't consider the proportionality between chickens and eggs. Choice C, 18 chickens, is incorrect as it overestimates the number of chickens needed. Choice D, 6 chickens, is incorrect as it doesn't account for the increased number of eggs required.

Question 5 of 9

A teacher's aide is preparing a snack for the class. In order to prepare the powdered drink, the aide must convert the directions to metric. The directions say, 'Dilute contents of package in 3 quarts of water.' The aide has a measuring device marked in liters. How many liters of water should be used?

Rationale: 3 quarts is approximately 2.8 liters. To convert quarts to liters, multiply the number of quarts by 0.946353. Therefore, the correct answer is 2.8 liters. Choice A (3.0 liters) is incorrect as it does not accurately convert 3 quarts to liters. Choice C (2.5 liters) is incorrect as it is less than the correct conversion. Choice D (3.5 liters) is incorrect as it is more than the correct conversion.

Question 8 of 9

A marathon runner is training for her next race. On her weekly weekend run she completes 21.4 miles and burns 2276 calories. What is her rate of calories burned per mile?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the rate of calories burned per mile, divide the total calories burned by the total miles run: 2276 · 21.4 ≈ 106.4 calories per mile. The correct answer is A. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not match the correct calculation result. Therefore, they can be eliminated. It is essential to divide the total calories burned by the total miles run to determine the rate of calories burned per mile accurately.

Question 9 of 9

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.
