1. How many grams of carbohydrates are in a product if it contains 4 servings, and each serving has 8 grams of carbohydrates?

• A. 32 grams
• B. 28 grams
• C. 24 grams
• D. 20 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the total grams of carbohydrates in the product, you multiply the number of servings by the grams of carbohydrates per serving. Given that each serving has 8 grams of carbohydrates and there are 4 servings, the total would be 4 servings * 8 grams = 32 grams. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 32 grams. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total grams of carbohydrates based on the information provided.

2. Multiply: 4/9 × 1 4/5 × 2/5.

• A. 8/25
• B. 1 & 10/19
• C. 7/16
• D. 32/45

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To multiply the fractions, convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions: 1 4/5 = 9/5. Then, multiply the fractions: (4/9) × (9/5) × (2/5) = 8/25. The correct answer is A. Choice B is incorrect as it does not match the result of the multiplication. Choice C is incorrect as it is not the result of multiplying the fractions. Choice D is incorrect as it is not the result of the given multiplication.

3. A set of temperature readings has a range of 5 degrees Celsius. What does this tell you about the data?

• A. The average temperature is 5 degrees Celsius.
• B. All temperatures are within 5 degrees of each other.
• C. The difference between the highest and lowest temperatures is 5 degrees.
• D. There are exactly 5 temperatures in the set.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Option A is incorrect because the range of 5 degrees does not necessarily mean that the average temperature is 5 degrees Celsius. The average temperature could be any value within the range. Option B is incorrect because the range of 5 degrees does not mean that all temperatures are within 5 degrees of each other. It only indicates the difference between the highest and lowest temperatures. Option C is correct because the range of 5 degrees specifically refers to the difference between the highest and lowest temperatures in the set. This is a common definition of range in statistics. Option D is incorrect because the range of 5 degrees does not determine the number of temperatures in the set. The set could have more or fewer than 5 temperatures.

4. If Randy sells 8 times as many vacuum cleaners as Janice, and Janice sells 690 vacuum cleaners per year, on average, how many does Randy sell each month?

• A. 4,600
• B. 5,520
• C. 6,400
• D. 8,320

Correct answer: B

Rationale: If Janice sells 690 vacuum cleaners per year, Randy sells 8 times that amount, which is 690 x 8 = 5,520 vacuum cleaners per year. To find out how many Randy sells each month, you divide 5,520 by 12 (months), which equals 460 vacuum cleaners per month. Therefore, Randy sells 5,520 vacuum cleaners per year divided by 12 months, which equals 460 vacuum cleaners per month. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the information provided.

5. What is the sum of the digits of the number 72?

• A. 6
• B. 5
• C. 9
• D. 7

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the sum of the digits of the number 72, you simply add the individual digits together: 7 + 2 = 9. Therefore, the sum of the digits is 9. Choice A (6), Choice B (5), and Choice D (7) are incorrect as they do not correctly sum up the individual digits of the number 72.
