1. How many feet are in 3 yards?

• A. 18 feet
• B. 9 feet
• C. 12 feet
• D. 27 feet

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert yards to feet, you multiply by 3, as 1 yard is equal to 3 feet. Therefore, 3 yards equals 3 x 3 = 9 feet. Choice A (18 feet) is incorrect because it multiplies by 2 instead of 3. Choice C (12 feet) is incorrect as it multiplies by 4 instead of 3. Choice D (27 feet) is incorrect as it multiplies by 9 instead of 3.

2. The physician orders 1000 mg of Benadryl liquid; 1 g = 1 tsp. How many teaspoons will you give?

• A. .75 tsp
• B. 1.5 tsp
• C. 1 tsp
• D. 1.25 tsp

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Since 1 gram (g) equals 1000 milligrams (mg) and 1 g = 1 teaspoon (tsp), the prescribed 1000 mg is equal to 1 tsp. Therefore, you will give 1 teaspoon of the Benadryl liquid. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correspond to the correct conversion of 1 g to 1 tsp, which is essential in solving this dosage calculation.

3. Jan canned 5 gallons of homemade tomatoes. She needs to purchase quart jars to finish the process. How many quart jars will she need to buy for her tomatoes?

• A. 10
• B. 15
• C. 20
• D. 25

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To determine the number of quart jars needed, we first need to convert the gallons to quarts. Since 1 gallon equals 4 quarts, 5 gallons will be equal to 5 * 4 = 20 quarts. Therefore, Jan will need to buy 20 quart jars to store her canned tomatoes. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly convert the gallons to quarts, leading to an incorrect quantity of jars required.

4. What is the result of dividing 152 by 2?

• A. 0.0116
• B. 0.116
• C. 76
• D. 11.6

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To divide 152 by 2, you perform the division operation, which is 152 ÷ 2 = 76. The correct answer is 76. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. Choice A, 0.0116, is the result of dividing 1 by 152 instead of 152 by 2. Choice B, 0.116, is the result of dividing 1.52 by 2. Choice D, 11.6, is the result of multiplying 152 by 2.

5. A seamstress is measuring a model for a new dress. The tape measure is marked in centimeters. The seamstress needs to convert that measurement into inches. If the model's waist measurement is 65.4 centimeters, what is that in inches?

• A. 25.74
• B. 21
• C. 15
• D. 10

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert centimeters to inches, divide the measurement in centimeters by 2.54 (since 1 inch = 2.54 cm). Therefore, 65.4 cm ÷ 2.54 = 25.74 inches. This means that the model's waist measurement of 65.4 centimeters is equivalent to 25.74 inches. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not result from the correct conversion calculation.
