1. What is the result of multiplying 10 by 5?

• A. 65
• B. 50
• C. 45
• D. 55

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. To find the result of multiplying 10 by 5, you perform the calculation: 10 × 5 = 50. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the accurate product of 10 multiplied by 5.

2. A landscaping plan is drawn on a 1:50 scale. If a deck in the plan measures 12 cm by 10 cm, how large is the deck in real life?

• A. 12 m by 10 m
• B. 6 m by 5 m
• C. 5 m by 2 m
• D. 4 m by 3 m

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Since the landscaping plan is drawn on a 1:50 scale, the real-life dimensions of the deck can be calculated by multiplying the dimensions on the plan by the scale factor. The dimensions given are 12 cm by 10 cm. Multiplying these dimensions by the scale factor of 50 gives us 600 cm by 500 cm, which is equivalent to 6 m by 5 m in real life. Choice A is incorrect as it doesn't consider the scale factor. Choice C and Choice D are incorrect as they are not the result of multiplying the dimensions by the scale factor.

3. How many pounds are in 160 ounces?

• A. 10 pounds
• B. 8 pounds
• C. 5 pounds
• D. 12 pounds

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 10 pounds. There are 16 ounces in a pound. To convert 160 ounces to pounds, you need to divide 160 by 16, which equals 10 pounds. Choice B, 8 pounds, is incorrect because it does not account for the correct conversion factor. Choice C, 5 pounds, is incorrect as it is not the result of dividing 160 by 16. Choice D, 12 pounds, is incorrect as it overestimates the conversion.

4. How many ounces are in 2.5 quarts?

• A. 64 ounces
• B. 40 ounces
• C. 32 ounces
• D. 80 ounces

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert quarts to ounces, you need to know that 1 quart is equal to 32 ounces. Therefore, to find out how many ounces are in 2.5 quarts, you multiply 2.5 by 32, which equals 80 ounces. So, the correct answer is 80 ounces. Choice A (64 ounces) is incorrect as it miscalculates the conversion. Choice B (40 ounces) is incorrect as it does not consider the correct conversion factor. Choice C (32 ounces) is incorrect as it provides the conversion for 1 quart only, not for 2.5 quarts.

5. What is the perimeter of a garden bed with a side length of 8 meters?

• A. 16m
• B. 24m
• C. 32m
• D. 64m

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 24m. The perimeter of a square is found by adding up all its sides. In this case, since the garden bed has a side length of 8 meters, the perimeter would be 8m + 8m + 8m + 8m = 24m. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the perimeter of a square with a side length of 8 meters.
