Question 1 of 5
What is the result of dividing 18.104 by 0.002?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: When dividing by a small decimal like 0.002, it's equivalent to multiplying by 500 (since 1 � 0.002 = 500). Thus, 18.104 � 500 = 9052. This process involves shifting the decimal point three places to the right to calculate the answer.
Question 2 of 5
How many ounces (oz) are in 3/4 pint?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert 3/4 pint to ounces, you need to know that 1 pint is equal to 16 ounces. To find out how many ounces are in 3/4 pint, you multiply 3/4 by 16. This calculation gives us 12 ounces. Therefore, there are 12 ounces in 3/4 pint. Remember, when converting between different units of measurement, it is crucial to understand the relationship between the two units to perform accurate conversions.
Question 3 of 5
A farmer has 240 acres under cultivation at $188.99 per acre. If he averages 60 bushels/acre, what is the expected profit if the price per bushel is $5.67?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To calculate the expected profit, first find the total cost: 240 acres * $188.99 = $45,357.60. Then, determine the total revenue: 240 acres * 60 bushels/acre * $5.67/bushel = $81,648. Subtract the total cost from the total revenue to find the profit: $81,648 - $45,357.60 = $36,290.40. Therefore, the expected profit is $36,290.40.
Question 4 of 5
What is the result of adding 4/3 + 7/3?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To add the fractions 4/3 and 7/3, combine the numerators: (4 + 7)/3 = 11/3. The sum 11/3 can be expressed as the mixed number 3 2/3. Therefore, the correct answer is A) 3 2/3.
Question 5 of 5
How many pints are in 56 ounces?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert ounces to pints, you need to know that there are 16 ounces in a pint. To find out how many pints are in 56 ounces, you divide 56 by 16 (56 ounces � 16 ounces/pint), which equals 3.5 pints. Therefore, there are 3.5 pints in 56 ounces.
