A person consumed 75 grams of protein. This is 30% of the recommended daily intake (RDI) for protein. How many grams of protein does the person need to consume to meet the full RDI?
- A. 250 grams
- B. 225 grams
- C. 260 grams
- D. 300 grams
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find the full RDI, divide the amount of protein consumed (75 grams) by 30% (or 0.30): 75 · 0.30 = 250 grams. Therefore, the person needs 250 grams of protein to meet the full RDI. Choice A is correct because it accurately calculates the amount needed to reach the full RDI. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total amount of protein needed based on the given information.

- B. 4
- C. 2
- D. 5
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In the number 743.25, the tenths place is the first digit to the right of the decimal point, which is 2. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A (3) represents the hundredths place, choice B (4) represents the units place, and choice D (5) represents the hundredths place.
A man is reading. He reads two chapters a day. How long will it take if there are 6 pages per chapter and 798 pages total?
- A. 66 & 1/2
- B. 399
- C. 75 & 1/2
- D. 133
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: First, calculate how many pages the man reads per day. Since he reads two chapters a day and each chapter has 6 pages:
2 chapters/day 6 pages/chapter = 12 pages/day
Now, divide the total number of pages by the number of pages he reads per day:
798 pages · 12 pages/day = 66 1/2 days
Thus, it will take him 66 & 1/2 days to finish the book. Therefore, the correct answer is A. 66 & 1/2. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correspond to the correct calculation based on the given information.
An architect is designing a rectangular room. The room has an area of 225 square feet and a width of 15 feet. What is the length of the room?
- A. 30 feet
- B. 15 feet
- C. 25 feet
- D. 45 feet
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The formula for the area of a rectangle is: Area = Length Width. To find the length, divide the area by the width: 225 · 15 = 15 feet. Therefore, the correct answer is 15 feet. Choice A (30 feet) is incorrect because it is the product of the area and the width, not the length. Choice C (25 feet) is incorrect as it does not match the result of dividing the area by the width. Choice D (45 feet) is incorrect as it is not the result of the calculation needed to find the length.
A farmer's production statistics find that it takes 2 chickens to produce 6 eggs in 24 hours. How many chickens will be needed to produce 24 eggs in 24 hours?
- A. 12 chickens
- B. 4 chickens
- C. 3 chickens
- D. 8 chickens
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: First, find how many eggs 1 chicken can produce in 24 hours. If 2 chickens produce 6 eggs: 6 eggs / 2 chickens = 3 eggs per chicken. To produce 24 eggs, we divide the required number of eggs by the production rate per chicken: 24 eggs / 3 eggs per chicken = 8 chickens. Therefore, the correct answer is D. 8 chickens. Choice A, 12 chickens, is incorrect because it does not consider the production rate per chicken. Choice B, 4 chickens, is incorrect as it does not account for the number of eggs needed. Choice C, 3 chickens, is incorrect because it miscalculates the production rate per chicken.
