1. Farmer Juan has 14 acres with an average yield of 17460 eggs per acre. The profit per egg is $1.65. What profit should Farmer Juan expect?

• A. $403,326
• B. $148,145.45
• C. $244,440
• D. $2,057.79

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate Farmer Juan's profit, multiply the number of acres (14) by the yield per acre (17460 eggs) and by the profit per egg ($1.65): 14 acres * 17460 eggs * $1.65 = $403,326. Therefore, Farmer Juan should expect a profit of $403,326. Choice A is correct as it accurately calculates the total profit based on the given information. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly compute the total profit from the provided data.

2. Which brain region is involved in memory formation?

• A. Cerebellum
• B. Hippocampus
• C. Brainstem
• D. Frontal lobe

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The hippocampus, located in the temporal lobe, is crucial for memory formation. It plays a vital role in converting short-term memories into long-term memories. Damage to the hippocampus can lead to significant memory deficits, highlighting its importance in the memory process. The cerebellum (Choice A) is primarily involved in coordination and balance, not memory. The brainstem (Choice C) is responsible for basic life functions such as breathing and heart rate, not memory. The frontal lobe (Choice D) is associated with functions like decision-making, problem-solving, and emotions, but not primarily memory formation.

3. A worker in a warehouse ships 9 boxes each day. If every box must contain 3 shipping labels, how many shipping labels does the worker need each day?

• A. 24 labels
• B. 27 labels
• C. 20 labels
• D. 30 labels

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the total number of shipping labels needed, multiply the number of boxes by the labels per box: 9 boxes * 3 labels per box = 27 labels. Therefore, the worker needs 27 shipping labels each day. Choice A, 24 labels, is incorrect because it results from multiplying 9 boxes by 3 labels without calculating the correct total. Choice C, 20 labels, is incorrect as it underestimates the total number of labels needed. Choice D, 30 labels, is incorrect as it overestimates the total by multiplying incorrectly.

4. A farmer wants to plant trees around the outside boundaries of his rectangular field with dimensions of 650 meters × 780 meters. Each tree requires 5 meters of free space all around it from the stem. How many trees can he plant?

• A. 572
• B. 568
• C. 286
• D. 282

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To determine the number of trees, reduce the field dimensions by 10 meters (5 meters of space on each side). The effective area is 640 meters × 770 meters. Each tree occupies 10 meters × 10 meters. Dividing the effective area by the space for each tree gives: (640 × 770) ÷ (10 × 10) = 286 trees. Choice A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not consider the reduction in field dimensions and the space required for each tree.

5. If electrons are shared equally in a covalent bond, the bond is classified as what?

• A. Polar
• B. Non-polar
• C. Ionic
• D. Hydrogen

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Non-polar. In a non-polar covalent bond, electrons are shared equally between the atoms involved, leading to a balanced distribution of charge and no significant difference in electronegativity between the atoms. This equal sharing results in a non-polar bond. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because a polar bond involves an unequal sharing of electrons, an ionic bond is formed by the transfer of electrons, and a hydrogen bond is a specific type of non-covalent bond.
