1. How many gallons are in 3 fluid ounces?

• A. 0.0234 gallons
• B. 0.5 gallons
• C. 0.38 gallons
• D. 0.12 gallons

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert fluid ounces to gallons, you need to divide the number of fluid ounces by 128 because there are 128 fluid ounces in 1 gallon. Therefore, 3 fluid ounces ÷ 128 equals approximately 0.0234 gallons. Choice A is correct. Choice B (0.5 gallons) is incorrect as it is equivalent to 64 fluid ounces, not 3. Choice C (0.38 gallons) and Choice D (0.12 gallons) are also incorrect conversions of 3 fluid ounces to gallons.

2. Multiply: 3/4 × 1/3.

• A. 1/4
• B. 1/3
• C. 3/5
• D. 3/8

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. In this case, 3/4 × 1/3 = (3 × 1) / (4 × 3) = 3/12 = 1/4. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 1/4. Choices B (1/3), C (3/5), and D (3/8) are incorrect because they do not result from the correct multiplication of the given fractions.

3. What is the probability of rolling an even number on a six-sided die?

• A. 50%
• B. 16.70%
• C. 25%
• D. 33.30%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, 50%. A standard six-sided die has three even numbers (2, 4, 6) out of six possible outcomes. The probability of rolling an even number is therefore 3 out of 6, which simplifies to 50%. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the probability of rolling an even number on a six-sided die.

4. Subtract 2 & 5/8 - 7/8 and reduce.

• A. 1 & 5/8
• B. 1 & 6/8
• C. 1 & 3/4
• D. 1 & ¼

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To subtract 7/8 from 2 & 5/8, you need to borrow 1 whole from the 2, making it 1 whole and 13/8. Then, subtracting 7/8 from 13/8 results in 6/8, which simplifies to 3/4. Therefore, the answer is 1 & 3/4. Choice A (1 & 5/8) is incorrect as the correct answer is 1 & 3/4. Choice B (1 & 6/8) can be simplified to 1 & 3/4, which is the correct answer. Choice D (1 & ¼) is incorrect as the subtraction result is greater than 1, making the whole number part 1.

5. Calculate: (88)(7.08) =

• A. 862.5
• B. 88.040
• C. 64.252
• D. 623.04

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the product of 88 and 7.08, simply multiply the two numbers: 88 x 7.08 = 623.04. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not result from the correct multiplication of 88 and 7.08.
