1. If a car's gas tank is 3/4 full and the tank holds 16 gallons when full, how many gallons are in the tank?

• A. 12 gallons
• B. 8 gallons
• C. 14 gallons
• D. 10 gallons

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find out how many gallons are in the tank when it is 3/4 full, you need to calculate 3/4 of 16 gallons. 3/4 of 16 is (3/4) x 16 = 12 gallons. Therefore, the car's gas tank contains 12 gallons when it is 3/4 full. Choice B (8 gallons) is incorrect because that would be 1/2 of the tank's capacity, not 3/4. Choice C (14 gallons) is incorrect as it exceeds the full capacity of the tank. Choice D (10 gallons) is incorrect as it is less than 3/4 of the tank's capacity.

2. Multiply: 15 × 14 = and express the result in decimal form.

• A. 0.0021
• B. 0.021
• C. 0.21
• D. 2.1

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the product of 15 and 14, you multiply the two numbers together. 15 multiplied by 14 equals 210. When written in decimal form, it is 2.1. Therefore, the correct answer is 2.1, which corresponds to option D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they reflect values much smaller than the actual product of 15 and 14, which is 210, equivalent to 2.1 in decimal form.

3. Sally was able to eat 5/8 of her lunch. John ate 75% of his lunch. Who ate more?

• A. John
• B. Sally
• C. Both ate the same
• D. Cannot be determined

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To compare the portions eaten by Sally and John, it's necessary to express both in the same denominator. Since 75% is equivalent to 6/8, John ate 6/8 while Sally ate 5/8 of their lunches. Therefore, John ate more than Sally. Choice A is correct. Choice B is incorrect as John ate 6/8 compared to Sally's 5/8. Choice C is incorrect as the amounts eaten are different. Choice D is incorrect as it can be determined based on the given information.

4. Temperature Conversion & Interpretation: A patient's body temperature is 102°F. Convert this to °C and assess if it indicates a fever.

• A. 37�C (Normal)
• B. 39�C (Low-grade fever)
• C. 39�C (Fever)
• D. 42�C (Hyperthermia)

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: 1. To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the formula: °C = (°F - 32) x 5/9. 2. Given that the patient's body temperature is 102°F, we can calculate the equivalent temperature in Celsius: °C = (102 - 32) x 5/9 °C = 70 x 5/9 °C = 350/9 °C ≈ 38.9°C, which can be rounded to 39°C. 3. A body temperature of 39°C is considered to indicate a fever. Normal body temperature typically ranges from 36.1°C to 37.2°C, so a temperature of 39°C is higher than the normal range and suggests a fever. 4. Options A and B are incorrect as they do not reflect the conversion of 102°F to °C

5. What is the probability of rolling an even number on a six-sided die?

• A. 50%
• B. 16.70%
• C. 25%
• D. 33.30%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, 50%. A standard six-sided die has three even numbers (2, 4, 6) out of six possible outcomes. The probability of rolling an even number is therefore 3 out of 6, which simplifies to 50%. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the probability of rolling an even number on a six-sided die.
