1. How many ounces are in 3/4 pints?

• A. 12 ounces
• B. 16 ounces
• C. 14 ounces
• D. 10 ounces

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the number of ounces in 3/4 pints, we need to know that 1 pint is equal to 16 ounces. Therefore, 3/4 of a pint would be 3/4 * 16 = 12 ounces. The correct answer is 12 ounces because 3/4 pints is equivalent to 12 ounces. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately calculate the conversion from pints to ounces.

2. What would be the total cost to buy 5 bars of soap if one bar of soap costs $0.96?

• A. $3.30
• B. $3.80
• C. $4.30
• D. $4.80

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the total cost of purchasing 5 bars of soap, multiply the cost of one bar of soap by the number of bars. If one bar costs $0.96, then 5 bars would cost $0.96 x 5 = $4.80. Therefore, the correct answer is $4.80. Option A, $3.30, is incorrect as it does not result from the correct multiplication. Option B, $3.80, is also incorrect as it does not reflect the total cost of 5 bars. Option C, $4.30, is incorrect as it does not represent the accurate total cost of purchasing 5 bars of soap.

3. Change 0.004 to a ratio.

• A. 1:250
• B. 17:40
• C. 9:20
• D. 20:40

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.004 to a ratio, first express it as a fraction. 0.004 = 4/1000 = 1/250. Therefore, the ratio is 1:250. Choice A is the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect ratios as they do not represent the equivalent fraction of 0.004.

4. Subtract 2 5\8 - 7\8 and reduce.

• A. 1 & 5\8
• B. 1 & 1\4
• C. 1 & 6\8
• D. 1 & 3\4

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Subtract the fractions first: 2 5\8 - 7\8 = 1 & 5\8.

5. A worker's schedule is written in military time, and shows their shift is from 1500 to 0100. When will they get off work?

• A. A little bit after midnight
• B. 1:00 AM
• C. 3:00 AM
• D. 12:30 AM

Correct answer: B

Rationale: When converting military time, 0100 actually corresponds to 1:00 AM the next day. Choice A is incorrect as 'a little bit after midnight' is vague and not a specific time. Choice C is incorrect as it is after the worker's shift ends. Choice D is incorrect as it is before the worker's shift ends.
