1. Express the number 1906 in Roman numerals.

• A. MCMIV
• B. MCMVI
• C. MDCCCCVI
• D. MCMVII

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert 1906 to Roman numerals, break it down into components: 1000 (M), 900 (CM), 6 (VI), resulting in MCMVI. Therefore, the correct Roman numeral representation for 1906 is MCMVI. Choice A (MCMIV) is incorrect as it represents 1904. Choice C (MDCCCCVI) is incorrect because it uses the subtractive notation incorrectly, and it's considered nonstandard. Choice D (MCMVII) is incorrect as it represents 1907, not 1906.

2. What is the product of multiplying 44.44 by 55.55?

• A. 2,468.64
• B. 2,500.00
• C. 2,450.45
• D. 2,470.00

Correct answer: A

Rationale: When multiplying decimal numbers like 44.44 and 55.55, align them properly and multiply each place accurately. To find the product of 44.44 and 55.55, you get 2,468.64. Therefore, the correct answer is choice A, 2,468.64. Choice B, 2,500.00, is incorrect as it is the result of rounding up. Choice C, 2,450.45, is incorrect as it is not the result of multiplying 44.44 by 55.55. Choice D, 2,470.00, is incorrect as it is not the correct product of 44.44 and 55.55.

3. Express the ratio of 12:15 as a percentage.

• A. 58.80%
• B. 62%
• C. 75.25%
• D. 80%

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To express the ratio 12:15 as a percentage, you need to find the total parts in the ratio (12 + 15 = 27), then divide one part by the total (12 ÷ 27 = 0.4444). Finally, convert the decimal to a percentage by multiplying by 100 (0.4444 x 100 = 44.44%). Therefore, the ratio 12:15 is equivalent to 44.44% when rounded to two decimal places, which is closest to 75.25% among the answer choices. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct percentage equivalent of the ratio 12:15.

4. How many ounces are in 3 pints?

• A. 24 ounces
• B. 48 ounces
• C. 32 ounces
• D. 64 ounces

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find out how many ounces are in 3 pints, you need to multiply the number of pints by the number of ounces in 1 pint. Since there are 16 ounces in 1 pint, 3 pints equal 3 * 16 = 48 ounces. Therefore, the correct answer is 48 ounces. Choice A (24 ounces) is incorrect because it miscalculates the conversion. Choice C (32 ounces) is incorrect as it does not correctly apply the conversion factor. Choice D (64 ounces) is incorrect as it doubles the correct answer, showing a misunderstanding of the conversion.

5. How many ounces are in 4 quarts?

• A. 64 ounces
• B. 128 ounces
• C. 32 ounces
• D. 16 ounces

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 128 ounces. There are 32 ounces in a quart, so when you have 4 quarts, you multiply 4 by 32 to get the total number of ounces, which equals 128. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct conversion from quarts to ounces.
