1. Add: 1.332 + 0.067

• A. 1.399
• B. 1.4
• C. 1.402
• D. 1.5

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the sum of 1.332 and 0.067, add the two numbers correctly: 1.332 + 0.067 = 1.399. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (1.4) is incorrect because it rounds down the sum, not considering the precise value. Choice C (1.402) is incorrect as it results from adding 1.332 and 0.070 instead of 0.067. Choice D (1.5) is not the correct sum of the given numbers.

2. What number is 98 175% of?

• A. 48
• B. 52
• C. 54
• D. 56

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the number that 98 is 175% of, we can set up the equation: x = 1.75 * x. By solving this equation, we get x = 56. Therefore, 98 is 175% of 56. Choice D, 56, is the correct answer as it represents the number that satisfies the given condition. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not result in 98 when multiplied by 1.75.

3. Convert 104°F to Celsius.

• A. 40°C
• B. 42°C
• C. 39°C
• D. 35°C

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the formula: °C = (°F - 32) x 5/9. Plugging in the value, °C = (104 - 32) x 5/9 = 72 x 5/9 = 40°C. Therefore, 104°F is equal to 40°C. Choice A is correct. Choice B is incorrect as it is not the result of the conversion. Choice C is incorrect as it is not the result of the conversion. Choice D is incorrect as it is not the result of the conversion.

4. How many kilograms are equivalent to 20 pounds?

• A. 9 kilograms
• B. 16 kilograms
• C. 44 kilograms
• D. 3 kilograms

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert pounds to kilograms, you need to multiply the number of pounds by 0.4536. Therefore, to find out how many kilograms are in 20 pounds, you would calculate 20 x 0.4536 = 9.072 kilograms, which is approximately 9 kilograms. Choice A is correct. Choice B (16 kilograms), Choice C (44 kilograms), and Choice D (3 kilograms) are all incorrect conversions of pounds to kilograms.

5. If two workers can finish building a play set in 18 hours, how long will it take 4 workers to build 3 play sets?

• A. 27 hours
• B. 36 hours
• C. 24 hours
• D. 54 hours

Correct answer: A

Rationale: If 2 workers can complete building one play set in 18 hours, it means one worker would take 36 hours to complete the same task. When the number of workers is doubled to 4, the time is halved, so 4 workers would take 18 hours to build one play set. To build 3 play sets, the total time needed would be 3 times the time for one play set, which equals 54 hours. Therefore, 4 workers can build 3 play sets in 27 hours, making choice A the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not account for the correct relationship between the number of workers and the time required to complete the task.
