1. 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.

2. What is the result of the addition: 34 + 4 + 234?

• A. 70.2
• B. 230.72
• C. 234.74
• D. 272

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Adding the given numbers together: 34 + 4 + 234 = 272. The correct sum is 272. Choice A, 70.2, is incorrect as it does not reflect the accurate addition of the numbers. Choice B, 230.72, is incorrect as well. Choice C, 234.74, is also incorrect since the correct sum is 272, not 234.74.

3. What is the probability of rolling a 3 on a six-sided die?

• A. 1/6
• B. 1/4
• C. 1/3
• D. 1/2

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The probability of rolling a specific number on a six-sided die is calculated by dividing the favorable outcomes (rolling a 3) by the total possible outcomes. In this case, there is 1 favorable outcome (rolling a 3) out of 6 total possible outcomes (numbers 1 to 6 on the die). Therefore, the probability of rolling a 3 is 1/6. Choice B (1/4), C (1/3), and D (1/2) are incorrect because they do not represent the correct calculation of the probability for rolling a 3 on a six-sided die.

4. Rebecca is able to paint 12 pickets on her picket fence in an hour. Her fence is 72 feet long, with 2 pickets per foot. How long will it take her to paint the fence?

• A. 2.4 hours
• B. 6 hours
• C. 12 hours
• D. 16.4 hours

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rebecca can paint 12 pickets in 1 hour, which means she can paint 12 * 2 = 24 pickets in an hour. Since the fence is 72 feet long with 2 pickets per foot, she needs to paint a total of 72 * 2 = 144 pickets. If she paints 24 pickets per hour, it will take her 144 / 24 = 6 hours to paint the entire fence. Choice A (2.4 hours) is incorrect because it does not consider the total number of pickets on the fence. Choice C (12 hours) is incorrect as it overestimates the time needed based on her painting rate. Choice D (16.4 hours) is incorrect as it miscalculates the time required to paint the entire fence.

5. How many pounds are in 192 ounces?

• A. 16 pounds
• B. 10 pounds
• C. 12 pounds
• D. 16 pounds

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert ounces to pounds, divide the number of ounces by 16 since there are 16 ounces in a pound. Therefore, 192 ounces ÷ 16 = 12 pounds. Choice A, 16 pounds, is incorrect because it does not represent the correct conversion from ounces to pounds. Choice B, 10 pounds, is incorrect as it is not the result of dividing 192 ounces by 16. Choice D, 16 pounds, is the same as choice A and is incorrect in the context of this conversion.
