1. Convert 104°F to Celsius.

• A. 40°C
• B. 42°C
• C. 39°C
• D. 35°C

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the formula: °C = (°F - 32) x 5/9. Plugging in the value, °C = (104 - 32) x 5/9 = 72 x 5/9 = 40°C. Therefore, 104°F is equal to 40°C. Choice A is correct. Choice B is incorrect as it is not the result of the conversion. Choice C is incorrect as it is not the result of the conversion. Choice D is incorrect as it is not the result of the conversion.

2. What is the solution to the equation 4y - 6 = 14? Solve for y.

• A. 4
• B. 5
• C. 6
• D. 7

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To solve the equation 4y - 6 = 14 for y, isolate y by adding 6 to both sides: 4y = 14 + 6 => 4y = 20. Then, divide by 4 to solve for y: y = 20 ÷ 4 = 5. Therefore, the correct answer is 5. Choice A is incorrect as it does not represent the correct solution to the equation. Choice C is incorrect as it is not the solution obtained after correctly solving the equation. Choice D is incorrect as it is not the correct solution to the given equation.

3. What is the result of adding 7 2/3 and 5 5/12?

• A. 11 1/12
• B. 12 1/4
• C. 13 1/12
• D. 14 1/6

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To add mixed numbers, convert them to improper fractions. 7 2/3 = 23/3 and 5 5/12 = 65/12. Adding them results in 233/12. Converting this improper fraction back to a mixed number gives 19 5/12, which simplifies to 13 1/12. Therefore, the correct answer is 13 1/12.\nChoice A (11 1/12) is incorrect as it does not represent the correct sum of the given mixed numbers. Choice B (12 1/4) is incorrect as it is not the result of adding 7 2/3 and 5 5/12. Choice D (14 1/6) is incorrect as it is not the correct sum of the provided mixed numbers.

4. What is the result of dividing 3.44 by 0.6 rounded off to the nearest whole number?

• A. 0
• B. 6
• C. 11
• D. 2

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the result of dividing 3.44 by 0.6, you perform the division operation: 3.44 ÷ 0.6 = 5.73. When rounded off to the nearest whole number, 5.73 becomes 6. Therefore, the correct answer is 6. Choice A is incorrect as the result is not 0. Choice C is incorrect as it is not the closest whole number to 5.73. Choice D is incorrect as it does not reflect the accurate division result.

5. A group of 8 friends went out to eat at a restaurant. They decided to split the bill evenly. If the bill totaled $120, how much did each friend pay?

• A. $15
• B. $10
• C. $12
• D. $20

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To determine how much each friend paid, divide the total bill amount by the number of friends. In this scenario, $120 ÷ 8 friends = $15. Therefore, each friend paid $15. Choice B ($10) is incorrect because dividing $120 by 8 does not yield $10. Choice C ($12) is incorrect because dividing $120 by 8 does not yield $12. Choice D ($20) is incorrect because dividing $120 by 8 does not yield $20.
