1. A person consumed 75 grams of protein. This is 30% of the recommended daily intake (RDI) for protein. How many grams of protein does the person need to consume to meet the full RDI?

• A. 250 grams
• B. 225 grams
• C. 260 grams
• D. 300 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the full RDI, divide the amount of protein consumed (75 grams) by 30% (or 0.30): 75 ÷ 0.30 = 250 grams. Therefore, the person needs 250 grams of protein to meet the full RDI. Choice A is correct because it accurately calculates the amount needed to reach the full RDI. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total amount of protein needed based on the given information.

2. What is the product of multiplying 44.44 by 55.55?

• A. 2,468.64
• B. 2,500.00
• C. 2,450.45
• D. 2,470.00

Correct answer: A

Rationale: When multiplying decimal numbers like 44.44 and 55.55, align them properly and multiply each place accurately. To find the product of 44.44 and 55.55, you get 2,468.64. Therefore, the correct answer is choice A, 2,468.64. Choice B, 2,500.00, is incorrect as it is the result of rounding up. Choice C, 2,450.45, is incorrect as it is not the result of multiplying 44.44 by 55.55. Choice D, 2,470.00, is incorrect as it is not the correct product of 44.44 and 55.55.

3. A marathon runner is training for her next race. On her weekly weekend run she completes 21.4 miles and burns 2276 calories. What is her rate of calories burned per mile?

• A. 106.4
• B. 105.6
• C. 107.5
• D. 109.3

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the rate of calories burned per mile, divide the total calories burned by the total miles run: 2276 ÷ 21.4 ≈ 106.4 calories per mile. The correct answer is A. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not match the correct calculation result. Therefore, they can be eliminated. It is essential to divide the total calories burned by the total miles run to determine the rate of calories burned per mile accurately.

4. A teacher's aide is preparing a snack for the class. In order to prepare the powdered drink, the aide must convert the directions to metric. The directions say, 'Dilute contents of package in 2 quarts of water.' The aide has a measuring device marked in liters. How many liters of water should be used?

• A. 2
• B. 1
• C. 3 liters
• D. 5 liters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 2 quarts to liters, we can use the conversion factor that 1 quart is approximately equal to 0.95 liters. Therefore, 2 quarts would be approximately 1.9 liters, which is closest to 2 liters. As the measuring device is marked in liters, the teacher's aide should use 2 liters of water to dilute the contents of the package. Choice A is correct. Choice B is incorrect because it's the same as the original amount in quarts. Choice C is incorrect as it suggests using more water than necessary. Choice D is incorrect as it suggests using significantly more water than necessary.

5. Add and simplify: 4⅔ + 6½ =

• A. 11⅙
• B. 10⅓
• C. 9⅙
• D. 9

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To add 4⅔ and 6½, we first need to convert the fractions to have the same denominator. Converting 4⅔ to 6ths gives us 8/6, and 6½ to 6ths gives us 7/2. Adding them together gives 15/2, which simplifies to 7½ or 9⅙. Therefore, the correct answer is 9⅙. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct sum of the fractions after conversion and simplification.
