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

• A. 8 chickens
• B. 12 chickens
• C. 18 chickens
• D. 6 chickens

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.

2. How many inches are in 1.5 yards?

• A. 54 inches
• B. 60 inches
• C. 72 inches
• D. 84 inches

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert yards to inches, you multiply the number of yards by 36 (since there are 36 inches in a yard). So, 1.5 yards × 36 inches/yard = 54 inches. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly convert yards to inches.

3. How many liters are in 8,000 milliliters?

• A. 0.8 liters
• B. 8 liters
• C. 0.8 liters
• D. 0.08 liters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. To convert milliliters to liters, you divide by 1,000. Therefore, 8,000 milliliters ÷ 1,000 = 8 liters. This makes option B the correct answer. Option A, 0.8 liters, is incorrect as it is 1/10th of the correct answer. Option C, 0.8 liters (repeated), is also incorrect. Option D, 0.08 liters, is incorrect as it is 1/100th of the correct answer.

4. Subtract 12 - 7 & 4\5.

• A. 4 & 4\5
• B. 5 & 4\5
• C. 4 & 1\5
• D. 5 & 1\5

Correct answer: C

Rationale: 12 - 7 & 4\5 equals 4 & 1\5.

5. 5 1\3 + 3 1\2.

• A. 8 5/6
• B. 9
• C. 7
