How many ounces are in 1.5 quarts?
- A. 32 ounces
- B. 16 ounces
- C. 48 ounces
- D. 64 ounces
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To convert quarts to ounces, you multiply the number of quarts by the conversion factor of 32 (since there are 32 ounces in a quart). Therefore, 1.5 quarts is equal to 1.5 x 32 = 48 ounces. The correct answer is 48 ounces. Choice A (32 ounces) is incorrect as it represents the amount of ounces in 1 quart, not 1.5 quarts. Choice B (16 ounces) is incorrect as it is half the amount of ounces in 1 quart. Choice D (64 ounces) is incorrect as it represents the amount of ounces in 2 quarts, not 1.5 quarts.

How many chickens are needed to produce 24 eggs in 24 hours if it takes 2 chickens to produce 6 eggs in 24 hours?
- A. 8 chickens
- B. 12 chickens
- C. 18 chickens
- D. 6 chickens
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To produce 24 eggs in 24 hours, 4 times the number of chickens needed to produce 6 eggs is required. Since it takes 2 chickens to produce 6 eggs, 8 chickens are needed to produce 24 eggs in the same time frame. Choice B, 12 chickens, is incorrect because it doesn't consider the proportionality between chickens and eggs. Choice C, 18 chickens, is incorrect as it overestimates the number of chickens needed. Choice D, 6 chickens, is incorrect as it doesn't account for the increased number of eggs required.
