1. What is the result of adding 4.934, 7.1, and 9.08?

• A. 21.114
• B. 21.042
• C. 20.214
• D. 59.13

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the sum of 4.934, 7.1, and 9.08, we add them together: 4.934 + 7.1 + 9.08 = 21.114. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 21.114. Choice B, 21.042, is incorrect as it does not represent the accurate sum of the numbers provided. Choice C, 20.214, is incorrect as it does not account for the correct addition of the given numbers. Choice D, 59.13, is incorrect as it is not the sum of the numbers 4.934, 7.1, and 9.08.

2. If a package of 10 pencils is divided between every 2 students in a class with 20 students, how many pencils are needed?

• A. 20
• B. 40
• C. 80
• D. 100

Correct answer: D

Rationale: If 20 students are divided into pairs, there would be 10 pairs in total (20 students / 2 = 10 pairs). Since each pair receives 10 pencils, the total number of pencils needed is calculated by multiplying the number of pairs (10 pairs) by the number of pencils each pair receives (10 pencils per pair), resulting in 100 pencils required. Therefore, the correct answer is 100 pencils. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not consider the correct pairing of students or the total number of pencils needed for each pair.

3. A family uses 12 gallons of water every day. How many gallons do they use in a non-leap year?

• A. 4,120 gallons
• B. 4,380 gallons
• C. 3,840 gallons
• D. 4,350 gallons

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To determine the total gallons the family uses in a non-leap year, you have to multiply the daily consumption by the number of days in a non-leap year. So, 12 gallons/day x 365 days = 4,380 gallons used per year. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A is incorrect as it provides an inaccurate total by not considering the total days in a year. Choice C is incorrect as it offers a lower value due to not multiplying the daily usage by the total days in a year. Choice D is incorrect as it doesn't accurately calculate the total gallons used in a non-leap year.

4. A patient's temperature is measured as 38.5 degrees Celsius. What is their temperature in Fahrenheit?

• A. 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit
• B. 101.3 degrees Fahrenheit
• C. 103.1 degrees Fahrenheit
• D. 104.9 degrees Fahrenheit

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the formula: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. Given that the patient's temperature is 38.5 degrees Celsius: °F = (38.5 × 9/5) + 32. °F = (69.3) + 32. °F = 101.3. Therefore, the patient's temperature in Fahrenheit is 104.9 degrees Fahrenheit (rounded to one decimal place). Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate conversion from Celsius to Fahrenheit based on the provided formula.

5. Add: 34 + 74 + 37 = ?

• A. 145
• B. 155
• C. 154
• D. 135

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the sum of the numbers 34 + 74 + 37, add them together: 34 + 74 + 37 = 145. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (155) is incorrect as it results from adding 34 + 74 + 37 incorrectly. Choice C (154) is incorrect as it is the result of adding the first two numbers correctly, but missing the addition of the third number. Choice D (135) is incorrect as it is the result of a calculation error, possibly adding the numbers in a different order.
