1. How many gallons are in 16 quarts?

• A. 1 gallon
• B. 8 gallons
• C. 4 gallons
• D. 4.5 gallons

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert quarts to gallons, remember that 1 gallon equals 4 quarts. Therefore, 16 quarts ÷ 4 quarts/gallon = 4 gallons. The correct answer is 4 gallons because each gallon contains 4 quarts. Choice A (1 gallon) is incorrect because 1 gallon is equal to 4 quarts, not 16 quarts. Choice B (8 gallons) is incorrect as it miscalculates the conversion. Choice D (4.5 gallons) is incorrect because it doesn't align with the conversion rate of 4 quarts per gallon.

2. Express the number 1906 in Roman numerals.

• A. MCMIV
• B. MCMVI
• C. MDCCCCVI
• D. MCMVII

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert 1906 to Roman numerals, break it down into components: 1000 (M), 900 (CM), 6 (VI), resulting in MCMVI. Therefore, the correct Roman numeral representation for 1906 is MCMVI. Choice A (MCMIV) is incorrect as it represents 1904. Choice C (MDCCCCVI) is incorrect because it uses the subtractive notation incorrectly, and it's considered nonstandard. Choice D (MCMVII) is incorrect as it represents 1907, not 1906.

3. Solve for x if x=11. x+(44/2x)

• A. 2.5
• B. 33
• C. 55
• D. 13

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Substitute x=11 into the expression: 11 + (44 / 2*11) = 11 + (44 / 22) = 11 + 2 = 13 Therefore, the correct answer is 13. Choice A (2.5) is incorrect as the correct result is 13, not 2.5. Choice B (33) is incorrect because it does not result from the given expression. Choice C (55) is incorrect as it does not match the calculated value. Choice D (13) is incorrect because the correct solution is 13, not 2.5.

4. How many ounces are in 4 quarts?

• A. 64 ounces
• B. 128 ounces
• C. 32 ounces
• D. 16 ounces

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 128 ounces. There are 32 ounces in a quart, so when you have 4 quarts, you multiply 4 by 32 to get the total number of ounces, which equals 128. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct conversion from quarts to ounces.

5. 5\7 + 3\14 = ?

• A. 13\14
• B. 10/14
• C. 11/14
• D. 12/14

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add fractions with different denominators, first find a common denominator. The least common denominator between 7 and 14 is 14. Convert 5/7 to 10/14: 5 / 7 = 10 / 14 5/7=10/14 Now add the two fractions: 10 / 14 + 3 / 14 = 13 / 14 10/14+3/14=13/14
