1. Which of these dates is represented by the Roman numeral MDXVI?

• A. 1106
• B. 1116
• C. 1506
• D. 1516

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The Roman numeral MDXVI translates to 1516 in Arabic numerals. The Roman numeral 'M' represents 1000, 'D' represents 500, 'X' represents 10, and 'VI' represents 6, which adds up to 1516. Therefore, the correct answer is 1516. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not match the Roman numeral MDXVI.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. If 30% of a given number is 18, what is the full number?

• A. 60
• B. 30
• C. 40
• D. 45

Correct answer: A

Rationale: If 30% of a number is 18, you can find the full number by dividing 18 by 0.30 (the decimal equivalent of 30%). This calculation results in 60. Therefore, the full number is 60. Choice B (30) is the result if 30% of the number itself was calculated, not the full number. Choices C (40) and D (45) are incorrect and do not align with the given information.

5. How many ounces are in 1.5 quarts?

• A. 32 ounces
• B. 16 ounces
• C. 48 ounces
• D. 64 ounces

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert quarts to ounces, you multiply the number of quarts by the conversion factor of 32 (since there are 32 ounces in a quart). Therefore, 1.5 quarts is equal to 1.5 x 32 = 48 ounces. The correct answer is 48 ounces. Choice A (32 ounces) is incorrect as it represents the amount of ounces in 1 quart, not 1.5 quarts. Choice B (16 ounces) is incorrect as it is half the amount of ounces in 1 quart. Choice D (64 ounces) is incorrect as it represents the amount of ounces in 2 quarts, not 1.5 quarts.
