1. How many ounces are in 4.5 quarts?

• A. 120 ounces
• B. 120 ounces
• C. 144 ounces
• D. 128 ounces

Correct answer: C

Rationale: There are 32 ounces in a quart, so to find out how many ounces are in 4.5 quarts, you need to multiply 4.5 by 32. 4.5 quarts * 32 ounces/quart = 144 ounces. Therefore, the correct answer is 144 ounces. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the conversion from quarts to ounces.

2. What is the result of adding 7/8 + 9/10 + 6/5?

• A. 3 & 39/40
• B. 3 & 22/23
• C. 22/23
• D. 30

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add fractions, you need to find a common denominator. The common denominator for 8, 10, and 5 is 40. Then, convert each fraction: 7/8 = 35/40, 9/10 = 36/40, and 6/5 = 24/40. Now, add the fractions: 35/40 + 36/40 + 24/40 = 95/40, which simplifies to 2 15/40 or 2 3/8. Therefore, 7/8 + 9/10 + 6/5 = 3 & 39/40. Choice B is incorrect because it does not represent the correct addition of the fractions. Choice C is incorrect as it does not account for the whole number part. Choice D is incorrect as it is not the sum of the fractions and whole numbers.

3. A patient's weight is measured as 75 kilograms. What is their weight in pounds?

• A. 132 pounds
• B. 150 pounds
• C. 110 pounds
• D. 85 pounds

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: To convert kilograms to pounds, you can use the conversion factor 1 kilogram is approximately equal to 2.20462 pounds. Therefore, to convert 75 kilograms to pounds: 75 kilograms * 2.20462 pounds/kilogram ≈ 165.3475 pounds Rounded to the nearest whole number, the patient's weight of 75 kilograms is approximately 165 pounds. Among the given options, the closest weight in pounds to 165 is 150 pounds (option B).

4. What is the probability of rolling a 5 on a six-sided die?

• A. 1/6
• B. 1/4
• C. 1/2
• D. 1/3

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The probability of rolling a specific number on a fair six-sided die is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes (1 in this case, as there is one '5' on the die) by the total number of possible outcomes (6 for a six-sided die), resulting in a probability of 1/6. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the probability of rolling a 5 on a six-sided die. Option B (1/4) is incorrect because it represents the probability of rolling a specific number on a four-sided die. Option C (1/2) and Option D (1/3) are incorrect as they do not match the probability calculation for rolling a 5 on a six-sided die.

5. Multiply: 6 × 0.06 =

• A. 0.0036
• B. 0.036
• C. 0.36
• D. 3.6

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When multiplying 6 by 0.06, you can treat 0.06 as 6 hundredths. So, 6 × 0.06 is equivalent to 6 × 6 hundredths, which equals 0.36. The correct answer is 0.36. Choice A (0.0036) is incorrect because it represents 6 multiplied by 0.0006, not 0.06. Choice B (0.036) is incorrect as it represents 6 multiplied by 0.06 without considering the position of the decimal point. Choice D (3.6) is incorrect as it represents 6 multiplied by 6, not by 0.06.
