1. How many gallons are in 1,000 fluid ounces?

• A. 7.8125 gallons
• B. 15.625 gallons
• C. 31.25 gallons
• D. 62.5 gallons

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert fluid ounces to gallons, you need to divide the number of fluid ounces by the number of fluid ounces in a gallon. Since there are 128 fluid ounces in a gallon, to find out how many gallons are in 1,000 fluid ounces, you divide 1,000 by 128. The correct calculation is 1,000 / 128 = 7.8125 gallons. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the conversion from fluid ounces to gallons.

2. How do you convert Fahrenheit to Celsius and Celsius to Fahrenheit?

• A. Fahrenheit to Celsius: Subtract 32, then divide by 1.8; Celsius to Fahrenheit: Multiply by 1.8, then add 32
• B. Fahrenheit to Celsius: Subtract 32, then divide by 2; Celsius to Fahrenheit: Multiply by 1.8, then add 20
• C. Fahrenheit to Celsius: Multiply by 2, then add 32; Celsius to Fahrenheit: Subtract 32, then divide by 1.8
• D. Fahrenheit to Celsius: Subtract 30, then divide by 1.8; Celsius to Fahrenheit: Multiply by 2, then add 32

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you start by subtracting 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature and then divide the result by 1.8. This formula accounts for the freezing point of water at 32°F and the conversion factor to Celsius. To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, you multiply the Celsius temperature by 1.8 and then add 32. This process takes into consideration the conversion factor from Celsius to Fahrenheit and the freezing point of water. Choice B is incorrect as dividing by 2 instead of 1.8 would yield an inaccurate conversion. Choice C is incorrect as it involves incorrect operations for both conversions. Choice D is incorrect as subtracting 30 instead of 32 for Fahrenheit to Celsius and multiplying by 2 instead of 1.8 for Celsius to Fahrenheit would provide incorrect results.

3. If Hannah spends at least $16 on 4 packages of coffee, which of the following inequalities represents the possible costs?

• A. 16 ≥ 4p
• B. 16 < 4p
• C. 16 > 4p
• D. 16 ≤ 4p

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To represent the relationship between the number of packages of coffee and the minimum cost, the inequality can be written as 4p ≥ 16 (cost is at least $16). This inequality can also be expressed as 16 ≤ 4p, which reads as the cost being less than or equal to $16. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choice A (16 ≥ 4p) implies that the cost can be greater than or equal to $16, which does not align with the statement that Hannah spends at least $16. Choice B (16 < 4p) suggests that the cost is less than $16, which contradicts the given information. Choice C (16 > 4p) indicates that the cost is greater than $16, which is not accurate based on the scenario provided.

4. Which statement about multiplication and division is true?

• A. The product of the quotient and the dividend is the divisor.
• B. The product of the dividend and the divisor is the quotient.
• C. The product of the quotient and the divisor is the dividend.
• D. None of the above.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In division, the dividend is the number being divided, the divisor is the number you are dividing by, and the quotient is the result. Multiplying the quotient by the divisor gives the original dividend. This is the reverse of the division operation. Therefore, the correct statement is that the product of the quotient and the divisor equals the dividend, making option C correct. Choices A and B provide incorrect relationships between the terms dividend, divisor, quotient, and product, making them inaccurate. Option D is a general statement that does not provide the correct relationship between multiplication and division terms.

5. Based on the information in the table showing healthcare spending per capita in a group of African nations, which country experienced the largest increase in dollars spent per capita from 2013 to 2015?

• A. Eritrea
• B. Sudan
• C. Tanzania
• D. Kenya

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Eritrea had the largest increase in healthcare spending per capita from 2013 to 2015. By comparing the data in the table, it is evident that Eritrea had the greatest change in dollars spent per capita during the specified period. Sudan, Tanzania, and Kenya did not experience as significant an increase in healthcare spending per capita as Eritrea did, making them incorrect choices.
