1. What is 60% of 90?

• A. 54
• B. 58
• C. 60
• D. 65

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find 60% of 90, you multiply 90 by 0.60 (which is the decimal form of 60%). So, 90 * 0.60 = 54. Therefore, 60% of 90 is 54. Choice A is correct. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation for finding 60% of 90.

2. What is the perimeter of a square with a side length of 5 meters?

• A. 15 meters
• B. 20 meters
• C. 25 meters
• D. 30 meters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The formula to calculate the perimeter of a square is P = 4s, where P is the perimeter and s is the length of a side. Given that the side length is 5 meters, the perimeter is 4 * 5 = 20 meters. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choices A (15 meters), C (25 meters), and D (30 meters) are incorrect as they do not correctly apply the formula to calculate the perimeter of a square.

3. How many pounds are there in 8 kilograms?

• A. 3.6 pounds
• B. 16 pounds
• C. 16.6 pounds
• D. 17.6 pounds

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert kilograms to pounds, you multiply the number of kilograms by 2.20462. Therefore, 8 kilograms is equal to 8 x 2.20462 = 17.63696 pounds, which can be rounded to 16 pounds. Choice A is incorrect as it is not the correct conversion. Choice C is close to the correct answer but slightly higher. Choice D is incorrect as it is higher than the correct conversion.

4. A patient's temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. What is their temperature in degrees Celsius (1°F = 5/9°C)?

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you need to subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature (98.6°F) and then multiply the result by 5/9. Doing this calculation, you get 37°C. Choice B (32°C) is incorrect because it doesn't consider the conversion formula correctly. Choices C (41°C) and D (45°C) are incorrect as they do not apply the conversion formula accurately, leading to incorrect results.

5. A decorative globe has a diameter of 25cm. What is its total surface area?

• A. 1570 sq cm
• B. 1963 sq cm
• C. 2513 sq cm
• D. 3142 sq cm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the total surface area of a sphere, you can use the formula: 4 * π * (radius)^2, where the radius is half the diameter. Given that the diameter is 25cm, the radius is half of that, which is 12.5cm. Substitute this value into the formula: 4 * π * (12.5cm)^2 ≈ 1963 sq cm. Therefore, the total surface area of the decorative globe is approximately 1963 sq cm. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correspond to the correct calculation.
