1. Subtract: 15.7 - 9.8 =

• A. 6.1
• B. 8.96
• C. 5.9
• D. 4.30

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the difference between 15.7 and 9.8, you need to subtract 9.8 from 15.7. This operation results in 5.9. Therefore, the correct answer is 5.9. Choice A, 6.1, is incorrect as it represents the result of subtracting 9.8 from 15.9, not 15.7. Choice B, 8.96, is also incorrect as it is not the correct result of the subtraction provided. Choice D, 4.30, is incorrect as well, as it is not the result of subtracting 9.8 from 15.7.

2. Multiply: 2 × 5 =

• A. 0.013
• B. 0.13
• C. 1.3
• D. 10

Correct answer: D

Rationale: When you multiply 2 by 5, the result is 10, not 13. Therefore, the correct answer is 10, which is option D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not represent the correct product of multiplying 2 by 5.

3. A person consumed 75 grams of protein. This is 30% of the recommended daily intake (RDI) for protein. How many grams of protein does the person need to consume to meet the full RDI?

• A. 250 grams
• B. 225 grams
• C. 260 grams
• D. 300 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the full RDI, divide the amount of protein consumed (75 grams) by 30% (or 0.30): 75 ÷ 0.30 = 250 grams. Therefore, the person needs 250 grams of protein to meet the full RDI. Choice A is correct because it accurately calculates the amount needed to reach the full RDI. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total amount of protein needed based on the given information.

4. Which of these dates is represented by the Roman numeral MMXV?

• A. 2001
• B. 2015
• C. 2051
• D. 2105

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The Roman numeral MMXV represents the year 2015. In Roman numerals, M represents 1000, X represents 10, and V represents 5. Therefore, by converting the Roman numeral MMXV into its numerical equivalent (1000 + 10 + 5), it corresponds to the year 2015. Choice A (2001) is incorrect as it would be represented as MM + I, choice C (2051) would be represented as MM + LI, and choice D (2105) would be represented as MMCV in Roman numerals, making them all inaccurate representations of MMXV.

5. Teresa began collecting baseball cards exactly 8 months ago, and in that time, she has collected 144 cards. On average, how many baseball cards has she collected per month?

• A. 12
• B. 16
• C. 18
• D. 22

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Teresa collected 144 baseball cards in 8 months. To find the average number of cards collected per month, we divide the total number of cards by the total months: 144 cards ÷ 8 months = 18 cards per month. Therefore, on average, Teresa has collected 18 baseball cards per month. Choice A (12), Choice B (16), and Choice D (22) are incorrect as they do not match the correct calculation based on the information provided in the question.
