1. How many ounces are in 4 quarts?

• A. 64 ounces
• B. 128 ounces
• C. 32 ounces
• D. 16 ounces

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 128 ounces. There are 32 ounces in a quart, so when you have 4 quarts, you multiply 4 by 32 to get the total number of ounces, which equals 128. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct conversion from quarts to ounces.

2. Which number is the highest among 0.077, 0.777, 0.08, and 0.87?

• A. 0.077
• B. 0.777
• C. 0.08
• D. 0.87

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To determine the highest number among 0.077, 0.777, 0.08, and 0.87, we compare the numbers. 0.87 is greater than 0.777, 0.08, and 0.077, making it the highest number. Choice A (0.077), Choice B (0.777), and Choice C (0.08) are lower numbers compared to 0.87, so they are incorrect.

3. A lab needs 200ml of a 5% salt solution. They only have a 10% solution. How much 10% solution and water should be mixed?

• A. 100ml 10% solution, 100ml water
• B. 150ml 10% solution, 50ml water
• C. 160ml 10% solution, 40ml water
• D. 200ml 10% solution, 0ml water

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: 1. Let x be the volume of the 10% solution needed and y be the volume of water needed. 2. The total volume of the final solution is 200ml, so x + y = 200. 3. The concentration of the final solution is 5%, so the amount of salt in the final solution is 0.05 * 200 = 10g. 4. The amount of salt in the 10% solution is 0.1x, and the amount of salt in the water is 0, so the total amount of salt in the final solution is 0.1x. 5. Since the total amount of salt in the final solution is 10g, we have 0.1x = 10. 6. Solving for x, we get x = 100ml. 7. Substituting x =

4. If a runner runs 5 miles in 45 minutes, what is their average speed in miles per hour?

• A. 6.67 mph
• B. 5 mph
• C. 7 mph
• D. 10 mph

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the average speed, first, convert 45 minutes to hours (45/60 = 0.75 hours). Then, divide the distance by the time: 5 miles ÷ 0.75 hours = 6.67 mph. Choice A is correct because it accurately calculates the average speed based on the distance covered and time taken. Choice B is incorrect as it does not consider the time taken to cover the distance. Choice C is incorrect as it is higher than the calculated speed. Choice D is incorrect as it is higher and does not match the calculated average speed.

5. Which of the following is equivalent to 0.0009?

• A. 0.09%
• B. 9%
• C. 0.01%
• D. 0.90%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 0.09%. To convert 0.0009 to a percentage, move the decimal point four places to the right and add a percentage sign. Therefore, 0.0009 is equal to 0.09%. Choice B (9%) is incorrect as it represents 0.09 without the decimal point adjustment. Choice C (0.01%) is incorrect as it represents 0.0009 with one less zero. Choice D (0.90%) is incorrect as it represents 0.9 not 0.0009.
