1. What number is 98 175% of?

• A. 48
• B. 52
• C. 54
• D. 56

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the number that 98 is 175% of, we can set up the equation: x = 1.75 * x. By solving this equation, we get x = 56. Therefore, 98 is 175% of 56. Choice D, 56, is the correct answer as it represents the number that satisfies the given condition. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not result in 98 when multiplied by 1.75.

2. Add 6 & 3/4 + 8 & 1/6.

• A. 35/6
• B. 14 & 2/5
• C. 14 & 11/12
• D. 12 & 3/24

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To add mixed numbers, first add the whole numbers together, then add the fractions. 6 + 8 = 14. For the fractions: 3/4 + 1/6 = (18 + 4) / 24 = 22/24 = 11/12. Therefore, 6 & 3/4 + 8 & 1/6 equals 14 & 11/12. Choice A is incorrect as it does not represent the correct sum. Choice B is incorrect because it does not match the correct result. Choice D is incorrect as it simplifies to 12 & 1/6, not 12 & 3/24.

3. Solve for y if y = 3: 4y + 21 / y.

• A. 7.7
• B. 19
• C. 23/3
• D. 11

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To solve for y, substitute y = 3 into the equation: 4(3) + 21 / 3 = 12 + 7 = 19. Therefore, the correct answer is 19. Choice A (7.7) is incorrect as it does not result from the substitution. Choice C (23/3) is incorrect as it does not match the calculated value. Choice D (11) is incorrect, as it is not the result of the provided equation.

4. Jan canned 5 gallons of homemade tomatoes. She needs to purchase quart jars to finish the process. How many quart jars will she need to buy for her tomatoes?

• A. 10
• B. 15
• C. 20
• D. 25

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To determine the number of quart jars needed, we first need to convert the gallons to quarts. Since 1 gallon equals 4 quarts, 5 gallons will be equal to 5 * 4 = 20 quarts. Therefore, Jan will need to buy 20 quart jars to store her canned tomatoes. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly convert the gallons to quarts, leading to an incorrect quantity of jars required.

5. How many grams of carbohydrates are in a product if it contains 4 servings, and each serving has 8 grams of carbohydrates?

• A. 32 grams
• B. 28 grams
• C. 24 grams
• D. 20 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the total grams of carbohydrates in the product, you multiply the number of servings by the grams of carbohydrates per serving. Given that each serving has 8 grams of carbohydrates and there are 4 servings, the total would be 4 servings * 8 grams = 32 grams. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 32 grams. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total grams of carbohydrates based on the information provided.
