1. How many ounces are in 2 quarts?

• A. 8 ounces
• B. 16 ounces
• C. 32 ounces
• D. 64 ounces

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert quarts to ounces, you need to multiply by 32 (1 quart = 32 ounces). Therefore, 2 quarts x 32 ounces/quart = 64 ounces. Hence, there are 64 ounces in 2 quarts. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct conversion factor from quarts to ounces.

2. A newborn weighs 8 pounds 5 ounces. There are 453.59 grams per pound. What is the infant's weight in grams?

• A. A. 2268 grams
• B. B. 3629 grams
• C. C. 3770 grams
• D. D. 3856 grams

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert pounds and ounces to grams: 8 pounds = 8 × 453.59 = 3,628.72 grams. 5 ounces = (5 ÷ 16) × 453.59 = 141.75 grams. Total weight = 3,628.72 + 141.75 = 3,629 grams (rounded). Therefore, the infant's weight is approximately 3,629 grams. Choice A, 2268 grams, is incorrect as it does not account for the weight in ounces. Choice C, 3770 grams, is incorrect as it is not the accurate converted weight. Choice D, 3856 grams, is incorrect as it does not consider the conversion of ounces to grams.

3. A scientific illustrator uses a scale of 3:1 for drawings of insects. If the length of a cicada in the drawing is 6 centimeters, how long is the actual cicada in real life?

• A. 18 centimeters
• B. 6.3 centimeters
• C. 4.6 centimeters
• D. 4.2 centimeters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The scale of 3:1 means that for every 3 centimeters in the drawing, it represents 1 centimeter in real life. If the length of the cicada in the drawing is 6 centimeters, in real life, it would be 6 x 3 = 18 centimeters long. Therefore, the actual length of the cicada in real life is 18 centimeters. Choice B, 6.3 centimeters, is incorrect because it does not account for the scale factor. Choices C and D, 4.6 centimeters and 4.2 centimeters respectively, are also incorrect as they do not consider the 3:1 scale used in the drawing.

4. How many liters are in 2,000 milliliters?

• A. 4 liters
• B. 1 liter
• C. 2 liters
• D. 4 liters

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 2 liters. There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 2,000 milliliters is equal to 2 liters. Choice A is incorrect because it incorrectly doubles the conversion. Choice B is incorrect as it represents the amount in milliliters, not liters. Choice D is a duplicate of choice A, which is incorrect.

5. Temperature Conversion & Interpretation: A patient's body temperature is 102°F. Convert this to °C and assess if it indicates a fever.

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: 1. To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the formula: °C = (°F - 32) x 5/9. 2. Given that the patient's body temperature is 102°F, we can calculate the equivalent temperature in Celsius: °C = (102 - 32) x 5/9 °C = 70 x 5/9 °C = 350/9 °C ≈ 38.9°C, which can be rounded to 39°C. 3. A body temperature of 39°C is considered to indicate a fever. Normal body temperature typically ranges from 36.1°C to 37.2°C, so a temperature of 39°C is higher than the normal range and suggests a fever. 4. Options A and B are incorrect as they do not reflect the conversion of 102°F to °C
