Question 1 of 5

If Mr. Parker owns 150 shares of stock in Stark Industries and receives $180.00 per year in dividends, how much does Mr. Rogers receive for an annual dividend if he owns 400 shares?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the annual dividend Mr. Rogers receives for his 400 shares, we need to find the dividend per share first. For Mr. Parker, the dividend per share is $180/150 = $1.20. So, for Mr. Rogers, with 400 shares, his annual dividend would be 400 x $1.20 = $480. Therefore, the correct answer is A: $480. Summary: - B: $500 is incorrect because it is not the correct calculation based on the given information. - C: $450 is incorrect as it is not the correct calculation based on the given information. - D: $72,000 is incorrect as it is an excessively high amount and not a reasonable dividend for owning 400 shares.

Question 2 of 5

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

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the total feed weight, we multiply the weight of one bag by the number of bags. 50 kg x 3 bags = 150 kg. Therefore, the correct answer is B (150 kilograms). Option A (100 kg) is incorrect as it represents the weight of 2 bags only. Option C (200 kg) and Option D (250 kg) are incorrect as they miscalculate the total weight by either adding or multiplying the weights incorrectly.

Question 3 of 5

If a recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar and you want to make half of the recipe, how many cups of sugar do you need?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To make half of the recipe, you need to divide the original amount of sugar by 2. 2 cups of sugar divided by 2 equals 1 cup. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 1 cup. Choice B (1.5 cups) is incorrect because it is not half of 2 cups. Choice C (2 cups) is the original amount and not for making half the recipe. Choice D (0.5 cups) is also incorrect as it is not the correct amount for half of the original recipe.

Question 4 of 5

Square: A garden bed has a side length of 8 meters. What is its perimeter?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the perimeter of a square, we add up all four sides. Since the garden bed has a side length of 8 meters, each side is 8m. Therefore, the perimeter = 8m + 8m + 8m + 8m = 32m (Choice C). Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the total length of all four sides of the square.

Question 5 of 5

If Randy sells 8 times as many vacuum cleaners as Janice, and Janice sells 690 vacuum cleaners per year, on average, how many does Randy sell each month?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find how many vacuum cleaners Randy sells per month, we first calculate the total annual sales for Janice: 690 vacuum cleaners per year. Since Randy sells 8 times as many, he sells 690 * 8 = 5,520 vacuum cleaners per year. To find monthly sales for Randy, we divide this by 12 (months in a year): 5,520 / 12 = 460 vacuum cleaners per month. Therefore, the correct answer is B: 5,520. Choice A (4,600) is incorrect because it does not account for Randy selling 8 times as many as Janice. Choice C (6,400) and choice D (8,320) are incorrect as they are not the result of the correct calculation based on the information provided in the question.
