1. Express 0.025 as a ratio.

• A. 1:40
• B. 4:1
• C. 400:1
• D. 26:40:00

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.025 to a ratio, we can express it as 25:1000 and simplify it by dividing both terms by 25, resulting in 1:40. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (4:1) and C (400:1) do not represent the correct ratio for 0.025. Choice D (26:40:00) is incorrect as it does not follow the standard ratio format of two numbers separated by a colon.

2. Add: 3 1/8 + 1 1/4.

• A. 4 3/8
• B. 4 1/2
• C. 4 3/4
• D. 5 1/4

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add mixed numbers, first add the fractions: 1/8 + 1/4 = 3/8. Then, add the whole numbers: 3 + 1 = 4. Therefore, 3 1/8 + 1 1/4 = 4 3/8. Choice B (4 1/2) is incorrect because the fractions were not added correctly, leading to an incorrect result. Choice C (4 3/4) is incorrect as it does not represent the correct sum of the two mixed numbers. Choice D (5 1/4) is incorrect as it provides a result that is higher than the correct sum of the mixed numbers.

3. Convert the fraction 7/8 into a decimal and percent.

• A. Decimal: 0.875, Percent: 87.5%
• B. Decimal: 0.78, Percent: 78%
• C. Decimal: 0.88, Percent: 88%
• D. Decimal: 0.90, Percent: 90%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert the fraction 7/8 into a decimal, you divide 7 by 8, which equals 0.875. To express this decimal as a percentage, you multiply it by 100 to get 87.5%. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the correct conversion of the fraction 7/8 into a decimal and a percent.

4. How many ounces are in 8 & 1/4 pints?

• A. 136 oz
• B. 128 oz
• C. 132 oz
• D. 130 oz

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert 8 1/4 pints to ounces, first convert the mixed number to an improper fraction: 8 1/4 = 33/4. There are 16 ounces in 1 pint. Now, multiply 33/4 by 16 ounces per pint: 33/4 x 16 = 132 ounces. Therefore, the correct answer is 132 oz. Choice A (136 oz) is incorrect because it does not result from the correct conversion. Choice B (128 oz) is incorrect as it is a miscalculation. Choice D (130 oz) is incorrect as well, not derived from the accurate conversion process.

5. 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.
