1. How many pints are there in 4 quarts?
- A. 2 pints
- B. 8 pints
- C. 16 pints
- D. 32 pints
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To convert quarts to pints, we know that 1 quart is equivalent to 2 pints. Therefore, to find out how many pints are in 4 quarts, we multiply 2 pints by 4, which equals 8 pints. Hence, the correct answer is 8 pints. Choice A (2 pints) is incorrect because it represents the conversion of 1 quart, not 4 quarts. Choice C (16 pints) and Choice D (32 pints) are incorrect as they miscalculate the conversion by not considering the correct conversion factor of 2 pints per quart.
2. A recent census of visitors to a popular beach showed that there was a ratio of 6:16 surfers to swimmers. Which of the following is a possible actual number of surfers and swimmers at the beach?
- A. 62:45
- B. 72:210
- C. 125:00
- D. 219:20
Correct answer: B
Rationale: The ratio given is 6:16, which can be simplified to 3:8 by dividing both sides by 2. This means that for every 3 surfers, there are 8 swimmers. To find a possible number of surfers and swimmers that fit this ratio, we can multiply both parts of the ratio by a common factor. Multiplying 3 and 8 by 24 gives us 72 surfers and 210 swimmers, which makes answer choice B the correct option. Choice A, C, and D do not reflect the ratio of surfers to swimmers given in the question.
3. What is 72 inches converted to feet?
- A. 12 feet
- B. 6 feet
- C. 4 feet
- D. 17 feet
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To convert inches to feet, you divide the number of inches by 12 since there are 12 inches in a foot. Therefore, 72 inches divided by 12 equals 6 feet. The correct answer is 6 feet. Choice A, 12 feet, is incorrect as it is the result if we were converting 144 inches. Choice C, 4 feet, and Choice D, 17 feet, are incorrect conversions and do not correspond to the given measurement of 72 inches.
4. If Jolene averages 5 miles for every 30 minutes of biking, how far will she bike in 2 hours?
- A. 10 miles
- B. 15 miles
- C. 20 miles
- D. 30 miles
Correct answer: C
Rationale: If Jolene bikes 5 miles for every 30 minutes, it means she bikes 10 miles in one hour (twice the 30-minute interval). Therefore, in 2 hours, she will cover double the distance she bikes in one hour, which equals 20 miles (10 miles per hour x 2 hours = 20 miles). This makes Choice C, '20 miles,' the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not account for the correct doubling of the hourly distance when calculating the total distance biked in 2 hours.
5. A train travels at 80 mph for 3 hours. How far did it travel?
- A. 240 miles
- B. 160 miles
- C. 280 miles
- D. 320 miles
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To calculate the distance traveled, you multiply the speed of the train (80 mph) by the time it traveled (3 hours): 80 mph × 3 hours = 240 miles. Therefore, the correct answer is 240 miles. Choice B (160 miles) is incorrect because it results from multiplying the speed by the incorrect time. Choices C (280 miles) and D (320 miles) are incorrect as they represent calculations that do not match the given speed and time.
