1. If a parent changes their baby 6 times a day, how many diapers will be needed in a year?

• A. 2190 diapers
• B. 2100 diapers
• C. 2160 diapers
• D. 2140 diapers

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.

2. A set of integers can be classified as positive, negative, or zero. Which of the following statements about multiplying positive and negative integers is ALWAYS true?

• A. The product will always be positive.
• B. The product will always be negative.
• C. The product will depend on the specific positive and negative numbers used.
• D. Positive and negative integers cannot be multiplied.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: When multiplying a positive integer by a negative integer, the product will always be negative. This is a fundamental rule of arithmetic. The sign of the product is determined by the rule that states a positive number multiplied by a negative number results in a negative number. Therefore, the statement that the product will always be negative is always true when multiplying positive and negative integers. Choice A is incorrect because the product is not always positive when multiplying positive and negative integers. Choice C is incorrect because the product is not dependent on the specific numbers but on the signs of the integers being multiplied. Choice D is incorrect as positive and negative integers can be multiplied.

3. Bai Lin estimates that of her monthly paycheck, she puts 10% in savings and spends 30% on living expenses. If she has $1,545 left after that, how much is her monthly paycheck?

• A. $2,175
• B. $2,250
• C. $2,575
• D. $2,650

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Let X be Bai Lin's monthly paycheck. From the given information, she puts 10% of X in savings and spends 30% on living expenses. This means she retains 60% (100% - 10% - 30%) of her paycheck, which equals $1,545. Therefore, 60% of X is $1,545. To find X, we divide $1,545 by 60% (or 0.60), which gives us X = $2,575. Hence, Bai Lin's monthly paycheck is $2,575. Therefore, the correct answer is $2,575. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not match the calculated monthly paycheck based on the given percentages and remaining amount.

4. The formula for calculating heart rate is HR = (220 - age) x 0.65. If a patient's heart rate is 136.5, what is their age?

• A. 30
• B. 40
• C. 50
• D. 60

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: Given formula: HR = (220 - age) * 0.65 Given heart rate: HR = 136.5 Substitute the given heart rate into the formula: 136.5 = (220 - age) * 0.65 Solve for age: 136.5 = 143 - 0.65age 0.65age = 143 - 136.5 0.65age = 6.5 age = 6.5 / 0.65 age = 10 Therefore, the patient's age is 50 (option C).

5. How many pounds are in 80 ounces?

• A. 5 pounds
• B. 6 pounds
• C. 4 pounds
• D. 3 pounds

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert ounces to pounds, you need to know that there are 16 ounces in a pound. Therefore, to find how many pounds are in 80 ounces, you divide 80 by 16, which equals 5 pounds. Thus, the correct answer is 5 pounds. Choice B, 6 pounds, is incorrect because it doesn't accurately reflect the conversion from ounces to pounds. Choice C, 4 pounds, and Choice D, 3 pounds, are also incorrect as they do not align with the correct conversion factor of 16 ounces to 1 pound.
