1. If a recipe requires 3 eggs for every pound of cake, how many pounds of cake can be made with 40 eggs?
- A. 12 pounds
- B. 14 pounds
- C. 13 pounds
- D. 15 pounds
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To determine the pounds of cake that can be made with 40 eggs, divide the total number of eggs by the eggs needed per pound of cake: 40 eggs ÷ 3 eggs/pound = 13 pounds of cake. Therefore, the correct answer is 13 pounds. Choice A, 12 pounds, is incorrect because it does not consider the ratio of eggs to cake. Choice B, 14 pounds, and Choice D, 15 pounds, are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given ratio in the question.
2. Compare: 0.045 is _____ to 0.054.
- A. Greater than
- B. Less than
- C. Less than or equal to
- D. Equal
Correct answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. When comparing 0.045 and 0.054, 0.045 is less than 0.054. Therefore, the correct relation is 'Less than.' Choice A ('Greater than') is incorrect because 0.045 is not greater than 0.054. Choice C ('Less than or equal to') is incorrect because 0.045 is strictly less than 0.054, not less than or equal to. Choice D ('Equal') is incorrect because 0.045 and 0.054 are not equal.
3. Multiply: 15 × 52 =
- A. 0.0078
- B. 0.078
- C. 0.78
- D. 7.8
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To find the product of 15 and 52, you simply multiply them together: 15 x 52 = 780. Therefore, the correct answer is 7.8. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they represent fractions or decimals much smaller than the correct product of 780.
4. Add 6 & 3/4 + 8 & 1/6.
- A. 35/6
- B. 14 & 2/5
- C. 14 & 11/12
- D. 12 & 3/24
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To add mixed numbers, first add the whole numbers together, then add the fractions. 6 + 8 = 14. For the fractions: 3/4 + 1/6 = (18 + 4) / 24 = 22/24 = 11/12. Therefore, 6 & 3/4 + 8 & 1/6 equals 14 & 11/12. Choice A is incorrect as it does not represent the correct sum. Choice B is incorrect because it does not match the correct result. Choice D is incorrect as it simplifies to 12 & 1/6, not 12 & 3/24.
5. What is 0.9 divided by 3?
- A. 0
- B. 3
- C. 0.3
- D. 9
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To find the result of dividing 0.9 by 3, we perform the division operation, which equals 0.3. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.3. Choice A (0) is incorrect as the result is not zero, but 0.3. Choice B (3) is incorrect as 0.9 divided by 3 is not 3 but 0.3. Choice D (9) is incorrect as 0.9 divided by 3 is not 9 but 0.3.
