1. 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.
2. Erin has 6.25 peach pies. She gives Rose 3.75 of the peach pies. How many pies does Erin have left?
- A. 2 peach pies
- B. 3 peach pies
- C. 1 peach pie
- D. 2 peach pies
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To find how many pies Erin has left, subtract 3.75 from 6.25: 6.25 - 3.75 = 2.5 peach pies. Erin has 2.5 peach pies left, which rounds down to 2 pies, making choice A the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct subtraction result.
3. How many liters are in 5000 milliliters?
- A. 5 liters
- B. 4 liters
- C. 6 liters
- D. 5.5 liters
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To convert milliliters to liters, you divide by 1000 since 1000 milliliters make up 1 liter. In this case, 5000 milliliters divided by 1000 milliliters per liter equals 5 liters (5000 mL รท 1000 mL/L = 5 L). Therefore, the correct answer is A: 5 liters. Choice B, 4 liters, is incorrect because 5000 milliliters is equivalent to 5 liters, not 4. Choice C, 6 liters, is incorrect as it is not the accurate conversion from milliliters to liters in this case. Choice D, 5.5 liters, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct conversion of 5000 milliliters to liters, which is 5 liters.
4. If the ratio and proportion 15:2000=x:200, what is the value of x?
- A. 7
- B. 0
- C. 7,777
- D. 1
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To find the value of x in the given ratio and proportion, we can set up the equation as 15:2000=x:200. Cross multiply to get x * 2000 = 15 * 200. Simplifying this gives x = 1. Therefore, the correct answer is D, which is 1. Choice A (7), Choice B (0), and Choice C (7,777) are incorrect as they do not match the correct calculation of x.
5. At the bake sale, Josie bought 3 brownies for $35 each. She paid with a $5 bill. What change did she receive?
- A. $0.85
- B. $0.95
- C. $1.05
- D. $1.15
Correct answer: B
Rationale: Josie bought 3 brownies for $35 each, totaling $3 x $35 = $105. She paid with a $5 bill, so the change she received would be $105 - $5 = $100. Therefore, Josie received $100 in change, which is equivalent to $0.95. Choice A, $0.85, is incorrect because the change is $100, not $0.85. Choice C, $1.05, is incorrect as it is not the correct change for the transaction. Choice D, $1.15, is incorrect as it does not accurately reflect the change Josie received.
