1. Sally was able to eat 5/8 of her lunch. John ate 75% of his lunch. Who ate more of their meal?

• A. Sally
• B. John
• C. Neither
• D. Both

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To compare who ate more of their meal, we need to convert the fractions to the same format. John ate 75% of his lunch, which is equivalent to 3/4. Sally ate 5/8 of her lunch. Comparing 3/4 to 5/8, we find that 3/4 is greater than 5/8. Therefore, John ate more of his meal than Sally. Choice B, John, is the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because John consumed 3/4 of his lunch, which is more than 5/8 that Sally consumed, making him the one who ate more of his meal.

2. The physician ordered 20 mg of Tylenol per kg of body weight; on hand is 80 mg per tablet. The child weighs 44 lb. How many tablets will you give?

• A. 5 tablets
• B. 5.5 tablets
• C. 4.5 tablets
• D. 3 tablets

Correct answer: A

Rationale: First, convert the child's weight from pounds to kilograms: 44 lb ÷ 2.2 = 20 kg. Next, calculate the required dosage: 20 kg × 20 mg/kg = 400 mg. Since each tablet contains 80 mg, divide the total dosage by the dosage per tablet: 400 mg ÷ 80 mg/tablet = 5 tablets. Therefore, the correct answer is 5 tablets. Choice B is incorrect because it does not account for the actual number of tablets needed. Choice C is incorrect as it is an underestimation of the required tablets. Choice D is incorrect as it is an underestimation of the required tablets.

3. A farmer buys 3 bags of feed weighing 50 kilograms each. How much feed does he have in total?

• A. 100 kilograms
• B. 150 kilograms
• C. 200 kilograms
• D. 250 kilograms

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 150 kilograms. To find the total amount of feed, you need to multiply the number of bags by the weight of each bag. In this case, 3 bags * 50 kilograms each = 150 kilograms. Therefore, the farmer has a total of 150 kilograms of feed. Choice A (100 kilograms) is incorrect because it doesn't consider the total weight of all 3 bags. Choice C (200 kilograms) and Choice D (250 kilograms) are incorrect as they are miscalculations of the total weight of the feed.

4. What is the result of adding 12 + 2 + 312?

• A. 936
• B. 374.4
• C. 326
• D. 318.24

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the sum of 12 + 2 + 312, you simply need to add these numbers together. 12 + 2 = 14, and when you add 312 to 14, you get the correct total of 326. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A (936), choice B (374.4), and choice D (318.24) are incorrect as they do not represent the correct sum of the given numbers.

5. Imaginary unit multiples are used to represent numbers that cannot be obtained on the number line. Which of the following is equivalent to 5i?

• A. -5
• B. i^5
• C. 5√-1
• D. 1/5i

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: - The imaginary unit, denoted as "i," is defined as the square root of -1. - Therefore, 5i can be expressed as 5 times the square root of -1, which is equivalent to 5√-1. - Option A, -5, is a real number and not an imaginary unit multiple. - Option B, i^5, is equal to i because i raised to any power that is a multiple of 4 results in 1, and i^5 is equivalent to i. - Option D, 1/5i, is the reciprocal of 5i and not equivalent to 5i.
