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. A man is reading a book with 798 pages. If he reads 2 chapters a day and each chapter has 6 pages, how many days will it take him to finish the book?

• A. 133 days
• B. 399 days
• C. 66.5 days
• D. 75 days

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the total number of chapters, divide the total number of pages by the number of pages per chapter: 798 ÷ 6 = 133 chapters. Reading 2 chapters per day means it will take 133 ÷ 2 = 66.5 days. Choice A, 133 days, is incorrect because it miscalculates the days needed to finish the book. Choice B, 399 days, is incorrect as it doesn't consider the number of chapters read per day. Choice D, 75 days, is incorrect as it doesn't account for the total number of chapters in the book.

3. A school has 500 students, and 60% of them are girls. How many girls are there in the school?

• A. 250 girls
• B. 300 girls
• C. 200 girls
• D. 350 girls

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Correct! To find out how many girls are in the school, you need to calculate 60% of 500. 60% of 500 is 0.6 * 500 = 300. Therefore, there are 300 girls in the school. Choice A (250 girls) is incorrect because 60% of 500 is not 250. Choice C (200 girls) is incorrect as it is less than 300. Choice D (350 girls) is incorrect as it is more than 300.

4. If the regular price of a bar is $2.50, how much do you save per bar if you purchase a value pack of 8 bars for $20?

• A. 15¢
• B. 40¢
• C. 75¢
• D. $1.20

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To determine how much you save per bar when buying a value pack of 8 bars for $20, calculate the individual price per bar by dividing the total price by the number of bars: $20 ÷ 8 = $2.50 per bar. When the pack price is lower than the individual price, you save money. The saving per bar is found by subtracting the pack price from the individual price: $2.50 (individual price) - $2.50 (pack price) = $0.40. Therefore, you save 40 cents per bar by purchasing the value pack. Choice A, 15¢, is incorrect because the actual saving is $0.40. Choice C, 75¢, is incorrect as it doesn't match the calculated saving. Choice D, $1.20, is incorrect as it is not the actual amount saved per bar.

5. The length of a rectangle is twice its width, and its area is equal to the area of a square with 12 cm sides. What will be the perimeter of the rectangle to the nearest whole number?

• A. 36 cm
• B. 46 cm
• C. 51 cm
• D. 56 cm

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Let the width of the rectangle be x cm, and its length be 2x cm. The area of the rectangle is 2x * x = 2x², and the area of the square is 12² = 144 cm². Setting the areas equal gives 2x² = 144. Solving for x gives x = 6. Thus, the width is 6 cm, and the length is 12 cm. The perimeter is 2(6 + 12) = 36 cm. Therefore, the correct answer is 36 cm. Choice B, 46 cm, is incorrect because it does not match the calculated perimeter. Choices C and D are also incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation of the rectangle's perimeter.
