1. 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.

2. Farmer Juan finds that it takes 2 chickens to produce 6 eggs in 24 hours. How many chickens are needed to produce 24 eggs in 24 hours?

• A. 48
• B. 18
• C. 8
• D. 6

Correct answer: C

Rationale: If 2 chickens produce 6 eggs in 24 hours, to produce 24 eggs in the same time frame, you would need 8 chickens. Therefore, Choice C is correct. Choice A (48) is incorrect because it miscalculates the number of chickens required. Choice B (18) is incorrect as it does not consider the proportional relationship between chickens and eggs. Choice D (6) is incorrect as it doesn't account for the increased number of eggs.

3. What is 40% of 150?

• A. 60
• B. 65
• C. 70
• D. 85

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find 40% of 150, you multiply 150 by 0.40 (which represents 40% in decimal form). This calculation results in 60. Therefore, choice A, 60, is the correct answer. Choice B (65), choice C (70), and choice D (85) are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate calculation for finding 40% of 150.

4. What number is 15, if it is 20% of that number?

• A. 3
• B. 45
• C. 75
• D. 300

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the number that 15 is 20% of, we set up the equation: x * 0.20 = 15. Solving for x, we get x = 15 / 0.20 = 75. Therefore, 15 is 20% of 75. Choice A, 3, is too small to be 20% of 15. Choice C, 75, is the result of the correct calculation. Choice D, 300, is too large to be 20% of 15.

5. If Jolene averages 5 miles for every 30 minutes of biking, how far will she bike in 2 hours?

• A. 10 miles
• B. 15 miles
• C. 20 miles
• D. 30 miles

Correct answer: C

Rationale: If Jolene bikes 5 miles for every 30 minutes, it means she bikes 10 miles in one hour (twice the 30-minute interval). Therefore, in 2 hours, she will cover double the distance she bikes in one hour, which equals 20 miles (10 miles per hour x 2 hours = 20 miles). This makes Choice C, '20 miles,' the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not account for the correct doubling of the hourly distance when calculating the total distance biked in 2 hours.
