1. What is 72 inches converted to feet?

• A. 12 feet
• B. 6 feet
• C. 4 feet
• D. 17 feet

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert inches to feet, you divide the number of inches by 12 since there are 12 inches in a foot. Therefore, 72 inches divided by 12 equals 6 feet. The correct answer is 6 feet. Choice A, 12 feet, is incorrect as it is the result if we were converting 144 inches. Choice C, 4 feet, and Choice D, 17 feet, are incorrect conversions and do not correspond to the given measurement of 72 inches.

2. 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.

3. What is the result of adding 4.934, 7.1, and 9.08?

• A. 21.114
• B. 21.042
• C. 20.214
• D. 59.13

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the sum of 4.934, 7.1, and 9.08, we add them together: 4.934 + 7.1 + 9.08 = 21.114. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 21.114. Choice B, 21.042, is incorrect as it does not represent the accurate sum of the numbers provided. Choice C, 20.214, is incorrect as it does not account for the correct addition of the given numbers. Choice D, 59.13, is incorrect as it is not the sum of the numbers 4.934, 7.1, and 9.08.

4. Multiply: 54 × 45. Express the result in decimal form.

• A. 0.0243
• B. 0.243
• C. 2.43
• D. 24.3

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To multiply 54 by 45, you should multiply the two numbers together: 54 x 45 = 2430. The decimal point is placed after counting the total decimal places in the numbers being multiplied. As there are no decimal places in the numbers 54 and 45, the result is 2430, which is correctly expressed as 24.3 when considering the decimal point placement. Choice A (0.0243) and Choice B (0.243) are incorrect as they represent fractions of 2430. Choice C (2.43) is incorrect as it incorrectly places the decimal point one place before the actual result.

5. Solve for x: 4x + 2 = 18.

• A. x = 4
• B. x = 4
• C. x = 5
• D. x = 3

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To solve for x, first, subtract 2 from both sides of the equation: 4x = 16. Then, divide by 4 to isolate x: x = 4. Choice A, x = 4, is the correct answer as calculated. Choice C, x = 5, is incorrect because the correct value of x is 4, not 5. Choice D, x = 3, is incorrect as well, as the correct value of x is 4, not 3.
