1. Sarah had 1 quart of milk. How many ounces of milk is that?

A. 16 ounces
B. 24 ounces
C. 32 ounces
D. 48 ounces

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 32 ounces. One quart is equivalent to 32 ounces. To convert quarts to ounces, you need to know that 1 quart equals 32 ounces. Therefore, 1 quart of milk is equal to 32 ounces. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately convert 1 quart to ounces.

2. If you have 4 kilograms, how many grams would you have?

A. 400 grams
B. 4000 grams
C. 40 grams
D. 100 grams

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the metric system, there are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram. To convert kilograms to grams, you multiply the number of kilograms by 1000. Therefore, 4 kilograms would equal 4000 grams. Choice A (400 grams) is incorrect because it is the result of multiplying by 100, not 1000. Choice C (40 grams) is incorrect as it is the result of dividing by 1000 instead of multiplying. Choice D (100 grams) is incorrect as it is a random figure and not the correct conversion from kilograms to grams.

3. What is the ratio of women to the total number of students in the class?

A. 4:7
B. 16:28
C. 3:5
D. 2:3

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the ratio of women to the total number of students, you need to simplify the ratio of 16:28. By dividing both numbers by the greatest common factor, which is 4, you get 4:7. Therefore, the correct ratio of women to the total number of students is 4:7. Choice A is correct. Choices C and D are incorrect because they do not represent a valid ratio. Choice B is the original ratio given in the question, which should be simplified to 4:7 as explained in the rationale.

4. 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.

5. A medication dosage is listed as 1/2 teaspoon. What is the equivalent dosage in milliliters (1 teaspoon = 5ml)?

A. 1.25ml
B. 2.5ml
C. 3.75ml
D. 5ml

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: Given that 1 teaspoon is equal to 5ml, and the medication dosage is listed as 1/2 teaspoon, we need to find half of 5ml. 1/2 of 5ml = 5ml / 2 = 2.5ml Therefore, the equivalent dosage in milliliters for 1/2 teaspoon is 2.5ml.
