1. What is 60% of 90?

• A. 54
• B. 58
• C. 60
• D. 65

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find 60% of 90, you multiply 90 by 0.60 (which is the decimal form of 60%). So, 90 * 0.60 = 54. Therefore, 60% of 90 is 54. Choice A is correct. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation for finding 60% of 90.

2. What is the result of adding 1/4 + 3/8?

• A. 5/8
• B. 7/12
• C. 2/3
• D. 1/2

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add fractions with different denominators, find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator of 4 and 8 is 8. Convert 1/4 to 2/8, then add it to 3/8. The sum is 5/8. Choice B (7/12) is incorrect as it is the result of adding 1/3 + 1/4. Choice C (2/3) is incorrect as it is the result of adding 3/8 + 1/4. Choice D (1/2) is incorrect as it is the result of adding 1/4 + 1/4.

3. How many ounces are in 4.5 quarts?

• A. 120 ounces
• B. 120 ounces
• C. 144 ounces
• D. 128 ounces

Correct answer: C

Rationale: There are 32 ounces in a quart, so to find out how many ounces are in 4.5 quarts, you need to multiply 4.5 by 32. 4.5 quarts * 32 ounces/quart = 144 ounces. Therefore, the correct answer is 144 ounces. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the conversion from quarts to ounces.

4. Farmer Juan has 14 acres with an average yield of 17460 eggs per acre. The profit per egg is $1.65. What profit should Farmer Juan expect?

• A. $403,326
• B. $148,145.45
• C. $244,440
• D. $2,057.79

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate Farmer Juan's profit, multiply the number of acres (14) by the yield per acre (17460 eggs) and by the profit per egg ($1.65): 14 acres * 17460 eggs * $1.65 = $403,326. Therefore, Farmer Juan should expect a profit of $403,326. Choice A is correct as it accurately calculates the total profit based on the given information. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly compute the total profit from the provided data.

5. What is the result of 32 divided by 8/9?

• A. 4 & 1/9
• B. 4
• C. 36
• D. 28 & 4/9

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal. Therefore, dividing 32 by 8/9 is the same as multiplying 32 by 9/8, which equals 36. The correct answer is C. Choice A, 4 & 1/9, is incorrect because the result is a whole number. Choice B, 4, is incorrect as it does not consider the fraction. Choice D, 28 & 4/9, is incorrect as it is not the result of dividing 32 by 8/9.
