Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To divide 40.3 by 4.8, you perform the calculation: 40.3 · 4.8 ≈ 8.4. Therefore, the correct answer is 8.4. Choice A (7.5) is incorrect as it is the result of dividing 40.3 by 5.4. Choice C (6.2) is incorrect as it is the result of dividing 40.3 by 6.5. Choice D (9.1) is incorrect as it is the result of dividing 40.3 by 4.4.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 175 mg. The vitamin originally contained 500 mg of calcium. After losing 325 mg, the remaining amount of calcium is calculated as 500 mg - 325 mg = 175 mg. Choice B (135 mg) is incorrect because the vitamin lost more calcium than that. Choices C (185 mg) and D (200 mg) are incorrect as they do not consider the amount of calcium lost from the original 500 mg.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert the blood glucose level from millimoles per liter (mmol/L) to milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), we need to perform a double conversion. 1 millimole is equivalent to 180.15 milligrams, and 1 liter is equal to 10 deciliters. First, multiply the glucose level (5.5 mmol/L) by the conversion factor for millimoles to milligrams (180.15 mg/mmol), then divide by the conversion factor for liters to deciliters (10 dL/L): 5.5 mmol/L * 180.15 mg/mmol / 10 dL/L ≈ 55 mg/dL. Therefore, the equivalent blood glucose level in mg/dL is 55. Choice A is correct. Choice B is incorrect as it does not account for the conversion factors properly. Choices C and D are significantly off as they do not follow the correct conversion calculations.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the total time, add the times for each set of 6 miles: 1 + 1.2 + 1.5 + 1.6 = 5.3 hours. Therefore, it took her 5.3 hours to complete the 24-mile course. Choice A, 5 hours, is incorrect because the total time is slightly more than that. Choice C, 4 hours, is incorrect as it doesn't account for the total time taken. Choice D, 6 hours, is incorrect as it's an overestimation of the actual time taken.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To determine how many pieces of candy each camper will receive, divide the total number of pieces of candy (225) by the number of campers (25): 225 · 25 = 9 pieces per camper. Therefore, each camper will receive 9 pieces of candy to ensure they all get an equal amount. Choice B, 7 pieces, is incorrect because the total number of candy pieces divided equally among 25 campers results in 9 pieces per camper, not 7. Choice C, 8 pieces, and choice D, 6 pieces, are also incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the division of 225 pieces of candy among 25 campers.
