• B. 5 & 4\5
• C. 4 & 1\5

2. Convert 63 grams to mg.

• A. 630 mg.
• B. 63 mg.
• C. 63000 mg.
• D. 63,000 mg

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 milligrams in a gram. So, to convert 63 grams to milligrams, you would calculate 63 * 1000 = 63,000 milligrams. Therefore, the correct answer is 63,000 mg. Choice A (630 mg) is incorrect as it would be the converted value if the original amount was 0.63 grams. Choice B (63 mg) is incorrect as it is the same value as the original grams. Choice D (63,000 mg) is incorrect as it is the same as the correct answer, but with a comma which is not standard when expressing numerical values.

3. 30 1/2 - 13 3/4 = ?

• A. 16 3/4
• B. 17
• C. 15 1/4
• D. 15

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve the expression 30 1/2 - 13 3/4, first convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions. 30 1/2 is equivalent to 61/2 and 13 3/4 is equivalent to 55/4. Subtracting 55/4 from 61/2 gives 16 3/4, which is the correct answer. Choice B (17) is incorrect as the correct answer is a mixed number, not a whole number. Choice C (15 1/4) is incorrect as it doesn't result from subtracting the given fractions. Choice D (15) is incorrect; the correct answer is greater than 15.

4. Farmer Juan has 14 acres with an average yield of 17460 eggs per acre. The profit per egg is $1.65. What profit should Farmer Juan expect?

• A. $403,326
• B. $148,145.45
• C. $244,440
• D. $2,057.79

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate Farmer Juan's profit, multiply the number of acres (14) by the yield per acre (17460 eggs) and by the profit per egg ($1.65): 14 acres * 17460 eggs * $1.65 = $403,326. Therefore, Farmer Juan should expect a profit of $403,326. Choice A is correct as it accurately calculates the total profit based on the given information. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly compute the total profit from the provided data.

5. Sally eats 3/5 of her lunch. John eats 75%. Who ate more?

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

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To compare, convert both to decimals or percentages: Sally ate 3/5, which is 0.6 or 60%. John ate 75%. Since 75% is greater than 60%, John ate more than Sally. Thus, the correct answer is A. John. Choice B is incorrect because Sally ate a smaller percentage of her lunch compared to John. Choice C is incorrect as the percentages consumed are different. Choice D is incorrect as one of them ate more.
