1. How many cakes do you need for a class of 70 students and 3 staff members if each cake provides 24 servings?

• A. 4
• B. 2
• C. 5
• D. 3

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To determine the number of cakes needed, calculate the total number of people, which is 70 students + 3 staff = 73 people. Since each cake serves 24 people, divide the total number of people by 24 to get approximately 3.04. You cannot have a fraction of a cake, so round up to the next whole number, which is 4. Therefore, you need 4 cakes to serve the class of 70 students and 3 staff members. Choice B (2) is incorrect because 2 cakes would not be enough to serve 73 people. Choice C (5) is incorrect as it would be an excess of cakes. Choice D (3) is incorrect because 3 cakes would not be sufficient to serve 73 people.

2. What conclusion can a reader draw about the connection between sleep and young children?

• A. Lack of sleep causes children to fail in school.
• B. Inadequate rest raises the risk of behavioral and physical problems.
• C. Sleeping less than 10 hours a night is guaranteed to result in obesity.
• D. Eight hours of sleep each night meets the requirements of most children.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The study outlined in the passage indicates that children who lack adequate sleep are at a higher risk for behavioral and physical issues, such as obesity and attention disorders. This conclusion is derived from the evidence provided in the passage, suggesting a direct link between sleep deprivation and negative outcomes, thus supporting option B..

3. If a dice is rolled, what is the probability of getting an even number?

• A. 16%
• B. 33%
• C. 66%
• D. 50%

Correct answer: D

Rationale: When rolling a standard six-sided die, there are three even numbers (2, 4, 6) out of a total of six possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). The probability of rolling an even number can be calculated as the number of favorable outcomes (3) divided by the total number of outcomes (6), which equals 3/6 = 50%. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choice A (16%) is incorrect because it does not represent the probability of rolling an even number. Choice B (33%) is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct probability. Choice C (66%) is incorrect as well since it overestimates the probability.

4. Solve for x if x=11. x+(44/2x)

• A. 2.5
• B. 33
• C. 55
• D. 13

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Substitute x=11 into the expression: 11 + (44 / 2*11) = 11 + (44 / 22) = 11 + 2 = 13 Therefore, the correct answer is 13. Choice A (2.5) is incorrect as the correct result is 13, not 2.5. Choice B (33) is incorrect because it does not result from the given expression. Choice C (55) is incorrect as it does not match the calculated value. Choice D (13) is incorrect because the correct solution is 13, not 2.5.

5. Another word for CONTEMPLATING is?

• A. Impasse
• B. Impartial
• C. Pondering
• D. Emending

Correct answer: C

Rationale: "Pondering" is another word for contemplating because it means to think about something carefully or thoroughly. Both terms imply deep reflection or consideration of a subject or idea. Therefore, "pondering" best captures the meaning of contemplating among the given choices.
