1. An architect is designing a rectangular room. The room has an area of 225 square feet and a width of 15 feet. What is the length of the room?

• A. 30 feet
• B. 15 feet
• C. 25 feet
• D. 45 feet

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The formula for the area of a rectangle is: Area = Length × Width. To find the length, divide the area by the width: 225 ÷ 15 = 15 feet. Therefore, the correct answer is 15 feet. Choice A (30 feet) is incorrect because it is the product of the area and the width, not the length. Choice C (25 feet) is incorrect as it does not match the result of dividing the area by the width. Choice D (45 feet) is incorrect as it is not the result of the calculation needed to find the length.

2. In Mr. Garcia's class, two-thirds of the students are boys. If there are 27 students in the class, how many of them are girls?

• A. 1
• B. 9
• C. 12
• D. 20

Correct answer: B

Rationale: If two-thirds of the students are boys, then one-third of the students must be girls. One-third of 27 is 9, so there are 9 girls in Mr. Garcia's class. Therefore, the correct answer is 9. Choice A is incorrect because it is too low; only one-third of the students are girls. Choices C and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given information in the question.

3. If John buys 3 bags of chips for $4.50, how much will it cost John to buy five bags of chips?

• A. $7.50
• B. $6.00
• C. $5.00
• D. $4.00

Correct answer: A

Rationale: If 3 bags of chips cost $4.50, then the cost per bag is $4.50/3 = $1.50. To buy five bags, John would need to pay 5 bags * $1.50 = $7.50. Therefore, it will cost John $7.50 to buy five bags of chips. The other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the total cost based on the given information.

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

• A. 50%
• B. 66.70%
• C. 33.30%
• D. 25%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A six-sided die has three odd numbers (1, 3, 5) out of six possible outcomes. To calculate the probability, divide the number of favorable outcomes (odd numbers) by the total number of outcomes: 3/6 = 0.5 or 50%. Therefore, the probability of rolling an odd number on a six-sided die is 50%. Choice A is correct. Choice B (66.70%) is incorrect as it does not represent the correct probability of rolling an odd number on a six-sided die. Choice C (33.30%) is incorrect as it represents the probability of rolling an even number. Choice D (25%) is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct probability of rolling an odd number on a six-sided die.

5. Convert 26°C to Fahrenheit.

• A. 78°F
• B. 72°F
• C. 80°F
• D. 85°F

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, the formula F = (9/5)C + 32 is used. Substituting 26°C into the formula: F = (9/5)(26) + 32 = 78.8°F, which rounds to 78°F. Therefore, the correct answer is 78°F. Choice B (72°F), Choice C (80°F), and Choice D (85°F) are incorrect as they do not result from the correct conversion calculation.
