1. A woman received a bottle of perfume as a present. The bottle contains ½ oz of perfume. How many milliliters is this?

A. 10 mL
B. 15 mL
C. 20 mL
D. 25 mL

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert ounces to milliliters, we know that 1 ounce is approximately 30 mL. Therefore, 0.5 ounces would be half of that, which is 15 mL. So, 0.5 oz of perfume is equal to 15 mL. Choice A (10 mL), Choice C (20 mL), and Choice D (25 mL) are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate conversion from ounces to milliliters.

2. In a bowling team consisting of 34 members, with 18 being male, if 4 females leave the team, what percent of the remaining members are male?

A. 50%
B. 60%
C. 70%
D. 55%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: After 4 females leave the team, there are 30 members remaining. Out of these, 18 are male. To find the percentage of male members, divide the number of male members (18) by the total number of remaining members (30) and multiply by 100. Percentage of male members = (18/30) * 100 = 60%. Therefore, 60% of the remaining members are male. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate calculation based on the information provided in the question.

3. A farmer buys 3 bags of feed weighing 50 kilograms each. How much feed does he have in total?

A. 100 kilograms
B. 150 kilograms
C. 200 kilograms
D. 250 kilograms

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 150 kilograms. To find the total amount of feed, you need to multiply the number of bags by the weight of each bag. In this case, 3 bags * 50 kilograms each = 150 kilograms. Therefore, the farmer has a total of 150 kilograms of feed. Choice A (100 kilograms) is incorrect because it doesn't consider the total weight of all 3 bags. Choice C (200 kilograms) and Choice D (250 kilograms) are incorrect as they are miscalculations of the total weight of the feed.

4. What is the result of dividing 3 by 4?

A. 5.75
B. 5.875
C. 6.25
D. 0.75

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To divide 3 by 4, we perform the division operation: 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75. The correct answer is 0.75 (D). Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not result from dividing 3 by 4. Choice A (5.75) is the result of dividing 23 by 4, choice B (5.875) is the result of dividing 7 by 1.2, and choice C (6.25) is the result of multiplying 5 by 1.25.

5. Which number is the highest among 0.077, 0.777, 0.08, and 0.87?

A. 0.077
B. 0.777
C. 0.08
D. 0.87

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To determine the highest number among 0.077, 0.777, 0.08, and 0.87, we compare the numbers. 0.87 is greater than 0.777, 0.08, and 0.077, making it the highest number. Choice A (0.077), Choice B (0.777), and Choice C (0.08) are lower numbers compared to 0.87, so they are incorrect.
