1. What is the result of the expression 47/57 + 65/75?

• A. 1 23/35
• B. 2 1/3
• C. 1 2/3
• D. 1 5/6

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add fractions, you need a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 57 * 75 = 4275. So, (47*75 + 65*57) / 4275 = (3525 + 3705) / 4275 = 7230 / 4275. Simplifying this fraction gives 1 23/35. Choice B: 2 1/3 is incorrect as the correct result is not a mixed number. Choice C: 1 2/3 is incorrect as it does not match the simplified result of the expression. Choice D: 1 5/6 is incorrect as it is a different value from the correct result obtained by adding the fractions.

2. Multiply: 4/9 × 1 4/5 × 2/5.

• A. 8/25
• B. 1 & 10/19
• C. 7/16
• D. 32/45

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To multiply the fractions, convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions: 1 4/5 = 9/5. Then, multiply the fractions: (4/9) × (9/5) × (2/5) = 8/25. The correct answer is A. Choice B is incorrect as it does not match the result of the multiplication. Choice C is incorrect as it is not the result of multiplying the fractions. Choice D is incorrect as it is not the result of the given multiplication.

3. How many liters are in 5000 milliliters?

• A. 5 liters
• B. 4 liters
• C. 6 liters
• D. 5.5 liters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert milliliters to liters, you divide by 1000 since 1000 milliliters make up 1 liter. In this case, 5000 milliliters divided by 1000 milliliters per liter equals 5 liters (5000 mL ÷ 1000 mL/L = 5 L). Therefore, the correct answer is A: 5 liters. Choice B, 4 liters, is incorrect because 5000 milliliters is equivalent to 5 liters, not 4. Choice C, 6 liters, is incorrect as it is not the accurate conversion from milliliters to liters in this case. Choice D, 5.5 liters, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct conversion of 5000 milliliters to liters, which is 5 liters.

4. How many feet are in 2 miles?

• A. 5280 feet
• B. 15840 feet
• C. 10560 feet
• D. 10200 feet

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert miles to feet, multiply the number of miles by the conversion factor of feet per mile. Since there are 5280 feet in 1 mile, to find the number of feet in 2 miles, you multiply 2 by 5280, resulting in 10560 feet. Choice A, 5280 feet, is the conversion factor for 1 mile, not for 2 miles. Choices B and D are incorrect calculations that do not follow the conversion factor correctly.

5. A roast was cooked at 325°F in the oven for 4 hours. The internal temperature rose from 32°F to 145°F. What was the average rise in temperature per hour?

• A. 20
• B. 32
• C. 28
• D. 37°F/hr

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The temperature increased from 32°F to 145°F, resulting in a total increase of 145°F - 32°F = 113°F. Dividing this total increase by the 4 hours of cooking time gives an average rise of 113°F ÷ 4 = 28.25°F per hour, which can be rounded to 28°F per hour. Therefore, the correct answer is 28. Choice A (20) is incorrect because it does not reflect the actual average rise in temperature per hour. Choice B (32) is incorrect as it does not consider the total temperature increase and divide it by the total hours. Choice D (37°F/hr) is incorrect as it does not match the calculated average rise in temperature per hour.
