1. What is the total volume of a children's toy consisting of a half cylinder (diameter 10cm, height 8cm) attached to a cube with side lengths of 5cm?

• A. 125 cu cm
• B. 200 cu cm
• C. 275 cu cm
• D. 350 cu cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the total volume of the toy, first calculate the volume of the half cylinder and the cube separately, then add them up. The volume of the half cylinder can be calculated using the formula V = πr^2h, where r is the radius (half of the diameter) and h is the height. Substituting the values, we get V = π(5^2)8 = 200π ≈ 628.32 cubic cm. The volume of the cube is found by V = s^3, where s is the side length. Substituting s = 5, we get V = 5^3 = 125 cubic cm. Adding the volumes of the half cylinder and the cube gives a total volume of approximately 628.32 + 125 = 753.32 cubic cm, which is closest to 275 cubic cm, making choice C the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate total volume calculation of the toy.

2. A table top has dimensions of 75cm by 50cm. What is its perimeter if opposite sides are equal?

• A. 125cm
• B. 150cm
• C. 200cm
• D. 50cm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - Given that the table top has dimensions of 75cm by 50cm. - Since opposite sides are equal, the table top can be divided into two pairs of equal sides: 75cm and 50cm. - To find the perimeter, we add up all four sides: 75cm + 50cm + 75cm + 50cm = 250cm. - However, since opposite sides are equal, we only need to consider two sides: 75cm + 50cm = 125cm. - Therefore, the perimeter of the table top is 125cm + 125cm = 150cm. - Hence, the correct answer is B) 150cm.

3. How many gallons are in 576 fluid ounces?

• A. 4 gallons
• B. 5 gallons
• C. 6 gallons
• D. 3 gallons

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert fluid ounces to gallons, you need to know that there are 128 fluid ounces in a gallon. To find how many gallons are in 576 fluid ounces, divide 576 by 128, which equals 4.5 gallons. Since we are looking for the closest whole number, the answer is 4 gallons. Choice A is correct. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the conversion from fluid ounces to gallons.

4. How many milliliters are in 5 pints of water?

• A. 2400 milliliters
• B. 4800 milliliters
• C. 2000 milliliters
• D. 3600 milliliters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 2400 milliliters. Since 1 pint is equivalent to 480 milliliters, to find out how many milliliters are in 5 pints, you multiply 480 by 5, which equals 2400 milliliters. Choice B (4800 milliliters) is incorrect because it multiplies 480 by 10 instead of 5. Choice C (2000 milliliters) is incorrect as it incorrectly equates 1 pint to 400 milliliters. Choice D (3600 milliliters) is incorrect as it miscalculates the conversion of pints to milliliters.

5. If a helicopter flies at about 80 mph, how long will it take to travel 140 miles?

• A. 1 hour 15 minutes
• B. 1 hour 20 minutes
• C. 1 hour 30 minutes
• D. 1 hour 45 minutes

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To calculate the time it takes to travel a certain distance, we can use the formula Time = Distance / Speed. In this case, the helicopter is flying at 80 mph and needs to travel 140 miles. Therefore, Time = 140 miles / 80 mph = 1.75 hours or 1 hour and 45 minutes. So, the correct answer is D. 1 hour 45 minutes. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not represent the accurate time it takes for the helicopter to cover the 140-mile distance at 80 mph.
