1. Olivia’s Bakery gives out one extra cupcake for each dozen sold, to make a “baker’s dozen” of 13 in all. How many extra cupcakes does the bakery add to a special order of 180 cupcakes?

• A. 12
• B. 13
• C. 14
• D. 15

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Olivia’s Bakery gives out one extra cupcake for each dozen sold. For a special order of 180 cupcakes, there would be 180 cupcakes ÷ 12 cupcakes per dozen = 15 dozens. Therefore, the bakery adds 15 extra cupcakes to make a 'baker's dozen' of 13 in all for each dozen, resulting in a total of 15 extra cupcakes added to the special order. The correct answer is 13 (choice B) because the bakery adds one extra cupcake to each dozen, making a 'baker's dozen' of 13.

2. What is the probability of rolling an odd number on a six-sided die?

• A. 50%
• B. 66.70%
• C. 33.30%
• D. 25%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A six-sided die has three odd numbers (1, 3, 5) out of six possible outcomes. To calculate the probability, divide the number of favorable outcomes (odd numbers) by the total number of outcomes: 3/6 = 0.5 or 50%. Therefore, the probability of rolling an odd number on a six-sided die is 50%. Choice A is correct. Choice B (66.70%) is incorrect as it does not represent the correct probability of rolling an odd number on a six-sided die. Choice C (33.30%) is incorrect as it represents the probability of rolling an even number. Choice D (25%) is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct probability of rolling an odd number on a six-sided die.

3. How many pounds are in 192 ounces?

• A. 16 pounds
• B. 10 pounds
• C. 12 pounds
• D. 16 pounds

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert ounces to pounds, divide the number of ounces by 16 since there are 16 ounces in a pound. Therefore, 192 ounces ÷ 16 = 12 pounds. Choice A, 16 pounds, is incorrect because it does not represent the correct conversion from ounces to pounds. Choice B, 10 pounds, is incorrect as it is not the result of dividing 192 ounces by 16. Choice D, 16 pounds, is the same as choice A and is incorrect in the context of this conversion.

4. Which of the following numbers is the largest? (0.667, 0.68, 0.6, 0.0688)

• A. 0.667
• B. 0.68
• C. 0.6
• D. 0.0688

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To determine the largest number among the given decimals, compare them. 0.68 is the largest number as it is greater than 0.667, 0.6, and 0.0688. The correct answer is 0.68 because it has the highest value. The other options are smaller: 0.667 is less than 0.68, 0.6 is less than 0.68, and 0.0688 is significantly smaller than 0.68.

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.
