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. For his daily commute, Paul drives about 115 miles round trip. If he fills up his gas tank with 9 gallons every other day, about how many miles per gallon is his car averaging?

• A. 12.8
• B. 23
• C. 25.6
• D. 57.5

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the miles per gallon Paul's car is averaging, we first need to determine the miles he drives on 9 gallons of gas. Since he drives about 115 miles round trip daily, he covers approximately 115/2 = 57.5 miles one way. If he fills up his gas tank with 9 gallons every other day, he covers 115 miles every 2 days. This means his car is averaging around 57.5 miles per 9 gallons, which equals approximately 6.38 miles per gallon. As he uses 9 gallons every other day, his car averages about 6.38 * 2 = 12.76 miles per gallon. Among the given options, the closest value to this calculation is option C, 25.6 miles per gallon. Choice A is incorrect because it does not accurately reflect the mileage per gallon calculation. Choice B is incorrect as it is not the closest to the calculated value. Choice D is incorrect as it is significantly higher than the calculated mileage per gallon.

3. Convert 104°F to Celsius.

• A. 40°C
• B. 42°C
• C. 39°C
• D. 35°C

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the formula: °C = (°F - 32) x 5/9. Plugging in the value, °C = (104 - 32) x 5/9 = 72 x 5/9 = 40°C. Therefore, 104°F is equal to 40°C. Choice A is correct. Choice B is incorrect as it is not the result of the conversion. Choice C is incorrect as it is not the result of the conversion. Choice D is incorrect as it is not the result of the conversion.

4. Add: 34 + 74 + 37 = ?

• A. 145
• B. 155
• C. 154
• D. 135

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the sum of the numbers 34 + 74 + 37, add them together: 34 + 74 + 37 = 145. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (155) is incorrect as it results from adding 34 + 74 + 37 incorrectly. Choice C (154) is incorrect as it is the result of adding the first two numbers correctly, but missing the addition of the third number. Choice D (135) is incorrect as it is the result of a calculation error, possibly adding the numbers in a different order.

5. What is the result of multiplying 10 by 5?

• A. 65
• B. 50
• C. 45
• D. 55

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. To find the result of multiplying 10 by 5, you perform the calculation: 10 × 5 = 50. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the accurate product of 10 multiplied by 5.
