1. How many liters are in 8,000 milliliters?

• A. 0.8 liters
• B. 8 liters
• C. 0.8 liters
• D. 0.08 liters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. To convert milliliters to liters, you divide by 1,000. Therefore, 8,000 milliliters ÷ 1,000 = 8 liters. This makes option B the correct answer. Option A, 0.8 liters, is incorrect as it is 1/10th of the correct answer. Option C, 0.8 liters (repeated), is also incorrect. Option D, 0.08 liters, is incorrect as it is 1/100th of the correct answer.

2. What is the freezing point of water in degrees Celsius?

• A. 0°C
• B. 100°C
• C. 50°C
• D. 25°C

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 0°C. The freezing point of water is 0°C under standard conditions. Water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the freezing point of water. 100°C is the boiling point of water, 50°C and 25°C are not related to the freezing point of water.

3. Convert the decimal 0.98 to a percent.

• A. 98%
• B. 9%
• C. 98
• D. 99%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percent, you multiply the decimal by 100. In this case, 0.98 × 100 = 98%. Therefore, the correct answer is A, which is 98%. Choice B (9%) is incorrect as it results from an error in calculation. Choice C (98) is incorrect as it lacks the percent symbol. Choice D (99%) is incorrect as it is not the equivalent percentage of 0.98.

4. At a comic book store, Robert purchased three comics for $2.65 each. If he paid with a $20 bill, how much change did he receive?

• A. $12.05
• B. $11.05
• C. $10.00
• D. $13.50

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Robert spent a total of $7.95 on three comics ($2.65 each). When he paid with a $20 bill, the change he received can be calculated by subtracting the total cost from the payment amount: $20 - $7.95 = $12.05. Therefore, Robert received $12.05 in change. Choice B ($11.05) is incorrect because it doesn't reflect the correct calculation. Choice C ($10.00) is incorrect as it doesn't consider the total cost of the comics. Choice D ($13.50) is incorrect as it overestimates the change Robert received.

5. A female ran a 24-mile course. Her first 6 miles took 1 hour, the second set of 6 miles took 1.2 hours, the third set of 6 miles took 1.5 hours, and the fourth set of 6 miles took 1.6 hours. How long did it take her to complete the course?

• A. 5.3 hours
• B. 4.5 hours
• C. 6 hours
• D. 7 hours

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the total time taken, add the time for each segment: 1 hour + 1.2 hours + 1.5 hours + 1.6 hours = 5.3 hours. Therefore, it took her 5.3 hours to complete the course. The other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the cumulative time calculated based on the given information.
