1. Farmer Juan finds that it takes 2 chickens to produce 6 eggs in 24 hours. How many chickens are needed to produce 24 eggs in 24 hours?

• A. 48
• B. 18
• C. 8
• D. 6

Correct answer: C

Rationale: If 2 chickens produce 6 eggs in 24 hours, to produce 24 eggs in the same time frame, you would need 8 chickens. Therefore, Choice C is correct. Choice A (48) is incorrect because it miscalculates the number of chickens required. Choice B (18) is incorrect as it does not consider the proportional relationship between chickens and eggs. Choice D (6) is incorrect as it doesn't account for the increased number of eggs.

2. What is the result of dividing 40.3 by 4.8?

• A. 7.5
• B. 8.4
• C. 6.2
• D. 9.1

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To divide 40.3 by 4.8, you perform the calculation: 40.3 ÷ 4.8 ≈ 8.4. Therefore, the correct answer is 8.4. Choice A (7.5) is incorrect as it is the result of dividing 40.3 by 5.4. Choice C (6.2) is incorrect as it is the result of dividing 40.3 by 6.5. Choice D (9.1) is incorrect as it is the result of dividing 40.3 by 4.4.

3. A doctor orders 1 gram of a medication to be administered intravenously. The available vial contains 200 milligrams per milliliter. How many milliliters of the solution should be drawn up?

• A. 4 milliliters
• B. 5 milliliters
• C. 10 milliliters
• D. 20 milliliters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: 1 gram is equivalent to 1000 milligrams. The concentration of the medication is 200 milligrams per milliliter. To calculate the volume needed, divide the total amount of medication by the concentration: 1000 mg / 200 mg/mL = 5 mL. Therefore, 5 milliliters of the solution should be drawn up to administer 1 gram of the medication intravenously. Choice A (4 milliliters), Choice C (10 milliliters), and Choice D (20 milliliters) are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the volume of the solution needed based on the concentration of the medication.

4. 5 1\3 + 3 1\2.

• A. 8 5/6
• B. 9
• C. 7
• D. 8

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 5 1\3 + 3 1\2 equals 8 5\6.

5. How many grams are in 7 kilograms?

• A. 7000 grams
• B. 70 grams
• C. 700 grams
• D. 70,000 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 7 kilograms is equal to 7 x 1,000 = 7,000 grams. The correct answer is 7000 grams. Choice B (70 grams) is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 7 kilograms to grams without considering the correct multiplier. Choice C (700 grams) is incorrect as it is a tenth of the correct conversion. Choice D (70,000 grams) is incorrect as it is ten times the correct conversion.
