1. A plan for a house is drawn on a 1:40 scale. If the length of the living room on the plan measures 5 inches, what is the actual length of the built living room?

• A. 45 feet
• B. 25 feet
• C. 15 feet
• D. 12 feet

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Since the scale of the plan is 1:40, this means that 1 inch on the plan represents 40 inches in reality. Therefore, the actual length of the living room can be calculated as 5 inches on the plan multiplied by the scale factor of 40, which equals 200 inches. Converting 200 inches to feet gives us 15 feet as the actual length of the built living room. Choice A (45 feet) is incorrect because it miscalculates the conversion from inches to feet. Choice B (25 feet) is incorrect as it does not consider the scale factor provided. Choice D (12 feet) is incorrect as it does not apply the correct scale factor to convert the plan's measurements to reality.

2. If x=11, solve (x+44)/2x.

• A. 33
• B. 2.5
• C. 13
• D. 55/22

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Given x=11, substitute into the expression: (11 + 44) / (2*11) = 55 / 22 = 2.5. Therefore, the correct answer is 2.5. Choice A (33) is incorrect as it does not represent the correct calculation. Choice C (13) is incorrect as it is not the result of the expression. Choice D (55/22) is incorrect as it is the same as the simplified form of the expression, not the answer to the calculation.

3. How many pints are there in 4 quarts?

• A. 2 pints
• B. 8 pints
• C. 16 pints
• D. 32 pints

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert quarts to pints, we know that 1 quart is equivalent to 2 pints. Therefore, to find out how many pints are in 4 quarts, we multiply 2 pints by 4, which equals 8 pints. Hence, the correct answer is 8 pints. Choice A (2 pints) is incorrect because it represents the conversion of 1 quart, not 4 quarts. Choice C (16 pints) and Choice D (32 pints) are incorrect as they miscalculate the conversion by not considering the correct conversion factor of 2 pints per quart.

4. How many grams are in 8 kilograms?

• A. 80000 grams
• B. 800 grams
• C. 80000 grams
• D. 8000 grams

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 8 kilograms = 8 x 1,000 = 8,000 grams. The correct answer is 8,000 grams, which is option D. Choices A and C are incorrect as they incorrectly multiply by 10,000 instead of 1,000. Choice B is incorrect as it divides 8 by 10 instead of multiplying by 1,000.

5. How many ounces are in 3 5/8 quarts?

• A. 184 oz
• B. 132 oz
• C. 128 oz
• D. 320 oz

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert quarts to ounces, we need to know that 1 quart is equal to 32 ounces. To find out how many ounces are in 3 5/8 quarts, we multiply 3 quarts by 32 (96) and add the equivalent of 5/8 of a quart, which is 16 ounces (32 * 5/8 = 16). Adding these together gives us a total of 112 ounces. Therefore, the correct answer is 184 ounces. Choice B (132 oz) is incorrect as it does not account for the additional 16 ounces from the 5/8 of a quart. Choice C (128 oz) is incorrect as it miscalculates the total number of ounces. Choice D (320 oz) is incorrect as it incorrectly multiplies 3.625 by 32, which is not the correct way to convert quarts to ounces.
