Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To calculate the total medication received in 24 hours, we first find out how many doses will be given in 24 hours. Since a dose of 150mg is given every 4 hours, there will be 6 doses in 24 hours (24 hours / 4 hours per dose = 6 doses). Multiplying 150mg by 6 doses gives us 900mg, which is the correct answer (D). Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not take into account the frequency of doses within the 24-hour period.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To calculate Farmer Juan's profit, multiply the total number of eggs (14 acres * 17460 eggs/acre) by the profit per egg ($1.65). 14 acres * 17460 eggs/acre * $1.65 = $403,326. This is the correct answer as it calculates the total profit based on the given information. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total profit using the number of acres, yield per acre, and profit per egg provided in the question.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find Andy's daily mileage, we first calculate Jake's daily mileage: 24.5 miles / 7 days = 3.5 miles/day. Since Andy runs five times as much, he runs 3.5 * 5 = 17.5 miles/day. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (17.7) is incorrect because it is not the result of the calculation in this scenario. Choice C (16.5) is incorrect as it does not account for Andy running five times as much as Jake. Choice D (18.2) is incorrect because it does not align with the correct calculation based on the information provided.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the rate of calories burned per mile, divide the total calories burned by the total distance covered. In this case, 2,274 calories ÷ 21.6 miles = 105.28 calories per mile (rounded to two decimal places), which matches option A. This calculation is based on the fundamental concept of division, where the total calories are distributed evenly over the total distance. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not match the calculated rate. This question tests basic division skills and understanding of calculating rates.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the percentage of remaining members who are male after 4 females leave, we first calculate the remaining total members: 34 - 4 = 30. Since 18 members are male, the percentage of males in the remaining team is (18 / 30) * 100% = 60%. Choice B is correct. Choice A (50%) is incorrect because there are more than 50% males in the remaining team. Choice C (70%) is incorrect as it overestimates the percentage of males after 4 females leave. Choice D (55%) is incorrect because the correct percentage is 60%, not 55%.
