1. In a scale drawing for a toy rocket, 1 inch = 6 inches. If the rocket is 6 inches tall on the drawing, how tall will it be in reality?

• A. 1 foot
• B. 6 feet
• C. 1 yard
• D. 2 yards

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the scale drawing, 1 inch represents 6 inches in reality. If the rocket is 6 inches tall on the drawing, the actual height of the rocket would be 6 inches x 6 = 36 inches, which is equal to 3 feet or 1 yard. Therefore, the correct answer is 6 feet. Choice A is incorrect because the actual height is more than 1 foot. Choice C is incorrect as 36 inches is equivalent to 1 yard. Choice D is incorrect because 36 inches is not equal to 2 yards.

2. 4 7/8 divided by 1 1/6 equals what?

• A. 4 & 6/8
• B. 4 & 7/8
• C. 5 & 8/14
• D. 4 & 5/28

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To divide 4,7/8 by 1,1/6: Convert to improper fractions: 4,7/8 = 39/8 1,1/6 = 7/6 Divide by multiplying by the reciprocal: 39/8 × 6/7 = 234/56 Simplify: 234/56 = 117/28 or 4,5/28

3. A nurse needs to administer 0.8 milliliters of medication. The only available syringe measures in teaspoons. How many teaspoons should the nurse use?

• A. 0.2 teaspoons
• B. 0.4 teaspoons
• C. 0.6 teaspoons
• D. 0.8 teaspoons

Correct answer: B

Rationale: 1 milliliter is approximately equal to 0.2 teaspoons. To find out how many teaspoons are in 0.8 milliliters, we can set up a proportion: 0.8 milliliters * 0.2 teaspoons/1 milliliter = 0.16 teaspoons. Since 0.16 teaspoons is not one of the answer choices, we need to convert it to a more practical measurement. The closest option is 0.4 teaspoons, making it the correct answer. Choice A, 0.2 teaspoons, is incorrect because 0.8 milliliters is more than that. Choices C and D, 0.6 teaspoons and 0.8 teaspoons, respectively, are also incorrect based on the conversion factor of 1 milliliter to 0.2 teaspoons.

4. Imaginary unit multiples are used to represent numbers that cannot be obtained on the number line. Which of the following is equivalent to 5i?

• A. -5
• B. i^5
• C. 5√-1
• D. 1/5i

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: - The imaginary unit, denoted as "i," is defined as the square root of -1. - Therefore, 5i can be expressed as 5 times the square root of -1, which is equivalent to 5√-1. - Option A, -5, is a real number and not an imaginary unit multiple. - Option B, i^5, is equal to i because i raised to any power that is a multiple of 4 results in 1, and i^5 is equivalent to i. - Option D, 1/5i, is the reciprocal of 5i and not equivalent to 5i.

5. If the outside temperature on a sunny day is 82 degrees on the Fahrenheit scale, what is the approximate temperature on the Celsius scale?

• A. 18°C
• B. 24°C
• C. 28°C
• D. 50°C

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the formula:
