1. A patient's temperature is measured as 38.5 degrees Celsius. What is their temperature in Fahrenheit?

• A. 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit
• B. 101.3 degrees Fahrenheit
• C. 103.1 degrees Fahrenheit
• D. 104.9 degrees Fahrenheit

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the formula: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. Given that the patient's temperature is 38.5 degrees Celsius: °F = (38.5 × 9/5) + 32. °F = (69.3) + 32. °F = 101.3. Therefore, the patient's temperature in Fahrenheit is 104.9 degrees Fahrenheit (rounded to one decimal place). Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate conversion from Celsius to Fahrenheit based on the provided formula.

2. Positive integers are numbers greater than zero. Which of the following expressions results in the largest positive number?

• A. (2 + 3)^2
• B. 5 x 7 + 2
• C. 10^2 - 4^2
• D. (8 - 1) x 3

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the largest positive number among the expressions, we evaluate each one: A) (2 + 3)^2 = 5^2 = 25 B) 5 x 7 + 2 = 35 + 2 = 37 C) 10^2 - 4^2 = 100 - 16 = 84 D) (8 - 1) x 3 = 7 x 3 = 21 Therefore, the expression that results in the largest positive number is 10^2 - 4^2, which equals 84. Choices A, B, and D result in smaller numbers.

3. A woman received a bottle of perfume as a present. The bottle contains 3/4 oz of perfume. How many milliliters is this?

• A. 25 mL
• B. 22.5 mL
• C. 15 mL
• D. 20 mL

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert ounces to milliliters, multiply the number of ounces by 29.5735. 3/4 oz × 29.5735 ≈ 22.5 mL. Therefore, the correct answer is 22.5 mL. Choice A (25 mL) is incorrect as it does not result from the correct conversion. Choices C (15 mL) and D (20 mL) are also incorrect conversions.

4. Olivia’s Bakery gives out one extra cupcake for each dozen sold, to make a “baker’s dozen” of 13 in all. How many extra cupcakes does the bakery add to a special order of 180 cupcakes?

• A. 12
• B. 13
• C. 14
• D. 15

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Olivia’s Bakery gives out one extra cupcake for each dozen sold. For a special order of 180 cupcakes, there would be 180 cupcakes ÷ 12 cupcakes per dozen = 15 dozens. Therefore, the bakery adds 15 extra cupcakes to make a 'baker's dozen' of 13 in all for each dozen, resulting in a total of 15 extra cupcakes added to the special order. The correct answer is 13 (choice B) because the bakery adds one extra cupcake to each dozen, making a 'baker's dozen' of 13.

5. What is the perimeter of a square with a side length of 5 meters?

• A. 15 meters
• B. 20 meters
• C. 25 meters
• D. 30 meters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The formula to calculate the perimeter of a square is P = 4s, where P is the perimeter and s is the length of a side. Given that the side length is 5 meters, the perimeter is 4 * 5 = 20 meters. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choices A (15 meters), C (25 meters), and D (30 meters) are incorrect as they do not correctly apply the formula to calculate the perimeter of a square.
