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. How many ounces are in a ton?

• A. 32,000 ounces
• B. 30,000 ounces
• C. 35,000 ounces
• D. 40,000 ounces

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 32,000 ounces. A ton is equivalent to 2,000 pounds. Since each pound contains 16 ounces, you can calculate the total number of ounces in a ton by multiplying 2,000 pounds by 16 ounces, which equals 32,000 ounces. Choice B (30,000 ounces), Choice C (35,000 ounces), and Choice D (40,000 ounces) are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the number of ounces in a ton based on the conversion of pounds to ounces.

3. A newborn weighs 8 pounds 5 ounces. There are 453.59 grams per pound. What is the infant's weight in grams?

• A. A. 2268 grams
• B. B. 3629 grams
• C. C. 3770 grams
• D. D. 3856 grams

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert pounds and ounces to grams: 8 pounds = 8 × 453.59 = 3,628.72 grams. 5 ounces = (5 ÷ 16) × 453.59 = 141.75 grams. Total weight = 3,628.72 + 141.75 = 3,629 grams (rounded). Therefore, the infant's weight is approximately 3,629 grams. Choice A, 2268 grams, is incorrect as it does not account for the weight in ounces. Choice C, 3770 grams, is incorrect as it is not the accurate converted weight. Choice D, 3856 grams, is incorrect as it does not consider the conversion of ounces to grams.

4. What factor is used to convert pounds to kilograms?

• A. 1.8
• B. 2.2
• C. 2.5
• D. 2

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct factor to convert pounds to kilograms is 2.2. To perform the conversion, you need to divide the number of pounds by 2.2. Choice A (1.8) is incorrect as it's not the standard conversion factor. Choice C (2.5) and Choice D (2) are also incorrect factors for converting pounds to kilograms.

5. 5 1\3 + 3 1\2.

• A. 8 5/6
• B. 9
• C. 7
• D. 8

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 5 1\3 + 3 1\2 equals 8 5\6.
