1. How many ounces are in 3 5/8 quarts?

• A. 184 oz
• B. 132 oz
• C. 128 oz
• D. 320 oz

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert quarts to ounces, we need to know that 1 quart is equal to 32 ounces. To find out how many ounces are in 3 5/8 quarts, we multiply 3 quarts by 32 (96) and add the equivalent of 5/8 of a quart, which is 16 ounces (32 * 5/8 = 16). Adding these together gives us a total of 112 ounces. Therefore, the correct answer is 184 ounces. Choice B (132 oz) is incorrect as it does not account for the additional 16 ounces from the 5/8 of a quart. Choice C (128 oz) is incorrect as it miscalculates the total number of ounces. Choice D (320 oz) is incorrect as it incorrectly multiplies 3.625 by 32, which is not the correct way to convert quarts to ounces.

2. Subtract 32 divided by 8\9.

• A. 36
• B. 32
• C. 40
• D. 44

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 32 ÷ (8\9) is the same as 32 × (9\8) = 36.

3. If 9 out of 75 band members missed practice, what percentage of band members missed practice?

• A. 10%
• B. 12%
• C. 15%
• D. 18%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the percentage of band members who missed practice, divide the number of members who missed practice (9) by the total number of band members (75) and multiply by 100. (9/75) * 100 = 12%. Therefore, 12% of the band members missed practice. Choice A (10%) is incorrect because it is not the correct calculation result. Choices C (15%) and D (18%) are also incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate percentage of band members who missed practice.

4. What number is 80 125% of?

• A. 48
• B. 64
• C. 68
• D. 78

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the number that 80 is 125% of, we can set up the equation: x = 80 / 1.25. Solving this equation gives x = 64. Therefore, 80 is 125% of 64. Choice A (48) is incorrect because it is not the correct value that 80 is 125% of. Choice C (68) is incorrect as it is not the value that satisfies the given percentage relationship. Choice D (78) is incorrect as it does not match the calculation result.

5. How many ounces are in 2.5 gallons?

• A. 240 ounces
• B. 160 ounces
• C. 320 ounces
• D. 240 ounces

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert gallons to ounces, we need to know that 1 gallon is equal to 128 ounces. Therefore, 2.5 gallons would be 2.5 x 128 = 320 ounces. This makes choice C, '320 ounces,' the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the conversion from gallons to ounces.
