1. What is the formula to find the circumference of a circle?

• A. Circumference = 2πr
• B. Circumference = πr²
• C. Circumference = 2r²
• D. Circumference = r²π

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct formula to find the circumference of a circle is C = 2πr, where C represents the circumference and r is the radius of the circle. Choice B, Circumference = πr², represents the formula for the area of a circle rather than the circumference. Choice C, Circumference = 2r², is incorrect as it does not involve π in the formula. Choice D, Circumference = r²π, has the terms reversed compared to the correct formula; the formula should start with the constant (2) multiplied by π, followed by the radius.

2. How many centimeters in an inch? How many inches in a centimeter?

• A. 2.54 centimeters in an inch; 0.393 inches in a centimeter
• B. 1 centimeter in an inch; 1 inch in a centimeter
• C. 1.5 centimeters in an inch; 1.5 inches in a centimeter
• D. 2 centimeters in an inch; 0.5 inches in a centimeter

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct conversion is: 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters and 1 centimeter = 0.393 inches. Therefore, option A is correct. Option B is incorrect as the conversion is incorrect. Option C is incorrect as it does not match the correct conversion values. Option D is incorrect as the conversion values provided are inaccurate.

3. How should 0.80 be written as a percent?

• A. 40%
• B. 125%
• C. 90%
• D. 80%

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percent, move the decimal point two places to the right. Therefore, 0.80 written as a percent is 80%. Choice A is incorrect as it represents 40%. Choice B is incorrect as it represents 125%. Choice C is incorrect as it represents 90%.

4. In Mrs. McConnell's classroom, there are 5 students with hazel eyes and 2 students with green eyes out of a total of 30 students. What percentage of the students have either hazel or green eyes?

• A. 0.23
• B. 0.3
• C. 0.47
• D. 0.77

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the percentage of students with either hazel or green eyes, add the number of students with hazel and green eyes (5 + 2 = 7) and divide by the total number of students (30): 7 ÷ 30 ≈ 0.23 or 23%. The correct answer is A, 0.23, which represents 23% of the total students. Choice B, 0.3, is incorrect as it corresponds to 30%, which is higher than the total number of students. Choice C, 0.47, is incorrect as it represents 47%, which is also higher than the total number of students. Choice D, 0.77, is incorrect as it corresponds to 77%, which is much higher than the total number of students.

5. How many gallons are in 1,000 fluid ounces?

• A. 7.8125 gallons
• B. 15.625 gallons
• C. 31.25 gallons
• D. 62.5 gallons

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert fluid ounces to gallons, you need to divide the number of fluid ounces by the number of fluid ounces in a gallon. Since there are 128 fluid ounces in a gallon, to find out how many gallons are in 1,000 fluid ounces, you divide 1,000 by 128. The correct calculation is 1,000 / 128 = 7.8125 gallons. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the conversion from fluid ounces to gallons.
