1. A teacher earns $730.00 per week before any tax deductions. The following taxes are deducted each week: $72.00 federal income tax, $35.00 state income tax, and $65.00 Social Security tax. How much will the teacher make in 4 weeks after taxes are deducted?

A. $2,250.00
B. $2,550.00
C. $2,400.00
D. $2,232.00

Correct answer: D

Rationale: After deducting $172 weekly for taxes ($72 + $35 + $65), the teacher's net weekly income is $558. Over 4 weeks, the total income is $2,232.00. Choice A is incorrect as it does not account for the taxes deducted. Choice B is incorrect as it overestimates the income by not deducting the taxes. Choice C is incorrect as it also does not consider the tax deductions.

2. Which is larger, feet or meters? What is the correct conversion factor between feet and meters?

A. Feet are larger; 1 foot is 0.3048 meters
B. Meters are larger; 1 meter is 3.28 feet
C. Feet are smaller; 1 foot is 0.5 meters
D. Meters are smaller; 1 meter is 2 feet

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. Feet are larger than meters. The conversion factor between feet and meters is 1 foot = 0.3048 meters. Choice B is incorrect as it states that meters are larger than feet, which is the opposite of the truth. Choice C is incorrect as it provides an incorrect conversion factor of 1 foot = 0.5 meters, which is inaccurate. Choice D is also incorrect as it suggests that meters are smaller than feet, which is not true.

3. How much did he save from the original price?

A. $170
B. $212.50
C. $105.75
D. $200

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the amount saved from the original price, you need to subtract the discounted price from the original price. The formula is: Original price - Discounted price = Amount saved. In this case, the original price was $850, and the discounted price was $637.50. Therefore, $850 - $637.50 = $212.50. Hence, he saved $212.50 from the original price. Choice A ($170) is incorrect as it is not the correct amount saved. Choice C ($105.75) is incorrect as it does not match the calculated savings. Choice D ($200) is incorrect as it is not the accurate amount saved based on the given prices.

4. How many milliliters are there in 3.2 liters?

A. 0.32
B. 32
C. 3200
D. 320

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to know that 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters. Therefore, 3.2 liters is equivalent to 3.2 x 1000 = 3200 milliliters. Choice A (0.32) is incorrect as it incorrectly moves the decimal point. Choice B (32) is incorrect as it doesn't consider the conversion factor between liters and milliliters. Choice D (320) is incorrect as it is a partial conversion error, missing a zero at the end.

5. How many quarts are in 1 liter?

A. 1 quart
B. 1.06 quarts
C. 2 quarts
D. 0.5 quarts

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert liters to quarts, you can use the conversion factor 1 liter ≈ 1.06 quarts. Therefore, 1 liter is approximately 1.06 quarts. Choice A is incorrect because 1 quart is not equivalent to 1 liter. Choice C is incorrect as 2 quarts is more than 1 liter. Choice D is incorrect as 0.5 quarts is half of 1 liter.
