1. Richard wants to make 2.5 batches of sugar cookies. One batch calls for 1.75 cups of sugar. How many cups of sugar will Richard need for 2.5 batches?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate how much sugar Richard needs for 2.5 batches, multiply the amount of sugar needed for one batch (1.75 cups) by 2.5: 1.75 × 2.5 = 4.375  cups 1.75×2.5=4.375 cups Since the question is asking for the nearest whole number, 4.375 rounds to 4.

2. What is the result of adding 7 2/3 and 5 5/12?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To add mixed numbers, convert them to improper fractions. 7 2/3 = 23/3 and 5 5/12 = 65/12. Adding them results in 233/12. Converting this improper fraction back to a mixed number gives 19 5/12, which simplifies to 13 1/12. Therefore, the correct answer is 13 1/12.\nChoice A (11 1/12) is incorrect as it does not represent the correct sum of the given mixed numbers. Choice B (12 1/4) is incorrect as it is not the result of adding 7 2/3 and 5 5/12. Choice D (14 1/6) is incorrect as it is not the correct sum of the provided mixed numbers.

3. If a man reads 2 chapters a day and there are 6 pages per chapter in a 798-page book, how long will it take him to finish the book?

Correct answer: D

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. If he reads 2 chapters a day, it will take him 133 ÷ 2 = 66.5 days to finish the book. Therefore, the correct answer is 66.5 days. Choice A is incorrect because it miscalculates the number of days required. Choices B and C are incorrect as they do not consider the correct calculation based on the given information.

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

Correct answer: A

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

5. How many ounces are in 8 1/4 pints?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert pints to ounces, multiply by 16 because 1 pint equals 16 ounces. Therefore, 8 1/4 pints is equal to 8.25 x 16 = 132 ounces. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct conversion from pints to ounces.
