1. What is the temperature in Celsius when it is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit?

• A. 35 Celsius
• B. 37 Celsius
• C. 38 Celsius
• D. 36.5 Celsius

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the formula (98.6 - 32) × 5/9. By solving this equation, the temperature is calculated to be 37°C. Therefore, the correct answer is B, 37 Celsius. Choice A, 35 Celsius, is incorrect because it is not the outcome of the conversion formula. Choice C, 38 Celsius, is incorrect as well, as it does not match the correct conversion result. Choice D, 36.5 Celsius, is also incorrect as it does not correspond to the accurate conversion from 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Convert 0.25 to a fraction.

• A. 1/4
• B. 1/3
• C. 1/2
• D. 3/4

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a fraction, place the decimal value over the place value of the last digit. In this case, 0.25 can be written as 25/100. Simplifying this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 25 gives 1/4. Therefore, 0.25 expressed as a fraction is 1/4. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they represent different fractional values that do not correspond to 0.25.

3. How many grams are in 8 kilograms?

• A. 80000 grams
• B. 800 grams
• C. 80000 grams
• D. 8000 grams

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 8 kilograms = 8 x 1,000 = 8,000 grams. The correct answer is 8,000 grams, which is option D. Choices A and C are incorrect as they incorrectly multiply by 10,000 instead of 1,000. Choice B is incorrect as it divides 8 by 10 instead of multiplying by 1,000.

4. In your class, there are 48 students; 32 students are female. Approximately what percentage are male?

• A. 33%
• B. 66%
• C. 25%
• D. 45%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In a class of 48 students, with 32 being female, the number of male students is 48 - 32 = 16. To calculate the percentage of male students, divide the number of male students (16) by the total number of students (48) and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage: (16 / 48) * 100 = 33%. Therefore, approximately 33% of the students in the class are male. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given information.

5. 5\7 + 3\14 = ?

• A. 13\14
• B. 10/14
• C. 11/14
• D. 12/14

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add fractions with different denominators, first find a common denominator. The least common denominator between 7 and 14 is 14. Convert 5/7 to 10/14: 5 / 7 = 10 / 14 5/7=10/14 Now add the two fractions: 10 / 14 + 3 / 14 = 13 / 14 10/14+3/14=13/14
