1. The recipe called for 3 1/2 pints of sour cream. How many cups of sour cream would that be equivalent to?

• A. 5 cups
• B. 7 cups
• C. 6 cups
• D. 4 cups

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert 3 1/2 pints of sour cream to cups, knowing that 1 pint equals 2 cups, we multiply 3.5 by 2, resulting in 7 cups. Therefore, the equivalent amount of sour cream in cups is 7 cups. Choice A is incorrect as it does not consider the correct conversion factor. Choice C is incorrect as it does not account for the accurate conversion from pints to cups. Choice D is incorrect as it underestimates the conversion by not multiplying the pints by the correct factor.

2. What number is represented by the Roman Numerals XLIV?

• A. 34
• B. 54
• C. 44
• D. 24

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In Roman numerals, XL represents 40, and IV represents 4. When XL (40) is combined with IV (4), it forms XLIV, which corresponds to the number 44. Therefore, the correct answer is 44. Choice A (34) is incorrect as it does not consider the value of XL and IV. Choice B (54) is incorrect as it miscalculates the value of XL. Choice D (24) is incorrect as it does not account for the value of XL.

3. Rewrite the following expression as a decimal: 5/8

• A. 0.7
• B. 0.325
• C. 0.625
• D. 5.8

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator. In this case, 5 ÷ 8 = 0.625. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.625. Choice A (0.7) is incorrect as it represents 7/10, choice B (0.325) is incorrect as it represents 325/1000, and choice D (5.8) is incorrect as it is not the result of dividing 5 by 8.

4. 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.

5. Olivia currently earns $51,200 in her job. If her salary increases by 4% this year, what will her new salary be?

• A. $52,348
• B. $52,736
• C. $53,040
• D. $53,248

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find Olivia's new salary after a 4% increase, we calculate 4% of $51,200, which is 0.04 x $51,200 = $2,048. Adding this increase to Olivia's current salary gives us the new salary: $51,200 + $2,048 = $53,248. Therefore, Olivia's salary after the 4% increase will be $53,248. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation for the new salary after a 4% increase.
