1. If the outside temperature is currently 22 degrees on the Celsius scale, what is the approximate temperature on the Fahrenheit scale?

• A. 56°F
• B. 62°F
• C. 66.5°F
• D. 71.6°F

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the formula: F = (C x 1.8) + 32. Substituting C = 22 into the formula gives: F = (22 x 1.8) + 32 = 39.6 + 32 = 71.6°F. Therefore, the approximate temperature on the Fahrenheit scale when it is 22 degrees Celsius is 71.6°F. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not match the correct conversion result. Choice A, 56°F, is lower than the correct conversion. Choice B, 62°F, is also lower than the correct conversion. Choice C, 66.5°F, is not a whole number and does not match the precise conversion of 71.6°F. Thus, the correct answer is 71.6°F.

2. A honeycomb cell has six equal sides, each measuring 8mm. What is its perimeter?

• A. 32mm
• B. 40mm
• C. 48mm
• D. 56mm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the perimeter of a shape with equal sides, you multiply the length of one side by the number of sides. In this case, the honeycomb cell has 6 sides, each measuring 8mm. Therefore, the perimeter is calculated as perimeter = number of sides * side length = 6 * 8mm = 48mm. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the total length around the honeycomb cell with six sides.

3. A roast was cooked at 325°F in the oven for 4 hours. The internal temperature rose from 32°F to 145°F. What was the average rise in temperature per hour?

• A. 20
• B. 32
• C. 28
• D. 37°F/hr

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The temperature increased from 32°F to 145°F, resulting in a total increase of 145°F - 32°F = 113°F. Dividing this total increase by the 4 hours of cooking time gives an average rise of 113°F ÷ 4 = 28.25°F per hour, which can be rounded to 28°F per hour. Therefore, the correct answer is 28. Choice A (20) is incorrect because it does not reflect the actual average rise in temperature per hour. Choice B (32) is incorrect as it does not consider the total temperature increase and divide it by the total hours. Choice D (37°F/hr) is incorrect as it does not match the calculated average rise in temperature per hour.

4. A plan for a house is drawn on a 1:40 scale. If the length of the living room on the plan measures 5 inches, what is the actual length of the built living room?

• A. 45 feet
• B. 25 feet
• C. 15 feet
• D. 12 feet

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Since the scale of the plan is 1:40, this means that 1 inch on the plan represents 40 inches in reality. Therefore, the actual length of the living room can be calculated as 5 inches on the plan multiplied by the scale factor of 40, which equals 200 inches. Converting 200 inches to feet gives us 15 feet as the actual length of the built living room. Choice A (45 feet) is incorrect because it miscalculates the conversion from inches to feet. Choice B (25 feet) is incorrect as it does not consider the scale factor provided. Choice D (12 feet) is incorrect as it does not apply the correct scale factor to convert the plan's measurements to reality.

5. A baker can bake 4 cakes with 10 cups of sugar. If he has a 30-cup bag that is half full, how many cakes can he bake?

• A. 6 cakes
• B. 5 cakes
• C. 7 cakes
• D. 8 cakes

Correct answer: A

Rationale: If the 30-cup bag is half full, it contains 15 cups of sugar. Since 10 cups are needed to bake 4 cakes, the baker can bake 4 * (15 / 10) = 6 cakes. Therefore, the correct answer is 6 cakes. Choice B, 5 cakes, is incorrect as it does not consider the correct sugar-to-cake ratio. Choices C and D are incorrect as they do not accurately calculate the number of cakes based on the available sugar.
