Question 1 of 5
If a parent changes their baby 6 times a day, how many diapers will be needed in a year?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To calculate the number of diapers needed in a year with 6 diaper changes per day, multiply the daily diaper changes (6) by the days in a year (365): 6 x 365 = 2190 diapers required. This calculation ensures an ample supply of diapers for maintaining the infant's hygiene and comfort. The other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately account for the number of diaper changes per day multiplied by the days in a year. Choice B (2100 diapers) is too low, while choices C (2160 diapers) and D (2140 diapers) are too high based on the calculation. Understanding the frequency and quantity of diaper changes is crucial for supporting the infant's health and well-being. Therefore, the correct answer is 2190 diapers.
Question 2 of 5
What is the result of dividing 40.3 by 4.8?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: When dividing 40.3 by 4.8, the correct result is approximately 8.4. To obtain this result, you can perform the division 40.3 · 4.8 = 8.395833... which rounds to 8.4. The other choices, A, B, and C, are incorrect. Choice A, 0.084, is incorrect as it is not the result of the division provided. Choice B, 84, is incorrect as it is the result of multiplying 40.3 and 4.8 instead of dividing them. Choice C, 0.84, is incorrect as it is not the correct result when dividing 40.3 by 4.8. It is crucial for individuals in various professions to be precise in mathematical calculations for tasks such as accurate medication administration and dosage measurements. Therefore, the correct answer is D, 8.4.
Question 3 of 5
What percentage of her income is left after Mary spent 15%?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To determine the percentage of income remaining after spending 15%, subtract the percentage spent from 100% (100% - 15% = 85%). Therefore, Mary has 85% of her income left, which aligns with answer choice B. Choice A (12%) is incorrect because it represents the remaining amount after spending 88% of her income. Choice C (75%) is incorrect as it does not account for the 15% already spent. Choice D (95%) is incorrect as it does not consider the amount spent by Mary.

Question 5 of 5
What percentage of 40 is 8?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To find the percentage of 8 in 40, divide 8 by 40 to get 0.2. Multiply this result by 100 to convert it to a percentage: 0.2 100 = 10%. Therefore, 8 is 10% of 40, making choice C the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect percentages calculated from incorrect divisions and multiplications.
