1. 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.

2. The height of a building is 150 feet. If each floor of the building is 12 feet high, how many floors are in the building?

• A. 13 floors
• B. 15 floors
• C. 10 floors
• D. 18 floors

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To determine the number of floors in the building, divide the total height of the building (150 feet) by the height of each floor (12 feet). 150 feet ÷ 12 feet per floor = 12.5 floors. Since floors cannot be in fractions, the answer is rounded down to the nearest whole number, which is 13 floors. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 13 floors. Choice B (15 floors) is incorrect because the calculation results in 12.5 floors, which should be rounded down. Choices C (10 floors) and D (18 floors) are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the division result and rounding down process.

3. If a parent changes their baby 6 times a day, how many diapers will be needed in a year?

• A. 2190 diapers
• B. 2100 diapers
• C. 2160 diapers
• D. 2140 diapers

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the number of diapers needed in a year with 6 diaper changes per day, multiply the daily diaper changes (6) by the days in a year (365): 6 x 365 = 2190 diapers required. This calculation ensures an ample supply of diapers for maintaining the infant's hygiene and comfort. The other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately account for the number of diaper changes per day multiplied by the days in a year. Choice B (2100 diapers) is too low, while choices C (2160 diapers) and D (2140 diapers) are too high based on the calculation. Understanding the frequency and quantity of diaper changes is crucial for supporting the infant's health and well-being. Therefore, the correct answer is 2190 diapers.

4. Express 0.75 as a fraction.

• A. 4/5
• B. 3/4
• C. 1/2
• D. 1/4

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To express 0.75 as a fraction, we write it as 75/100. Simplifying this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 25 gives us 3/4. Therefore, 0.75 is equivalent to 3/4. Choice A (4/5), Choice C (1/2), and Choice D (1/4) are incorrect fractions and do not represent 0.75.

5. If Alice consumes twice as many calories as Claire, and Claire consumes 2,500 calories a day, how many calories does Alice consume per week?

• A. 17,500
• B. 15,000
• C. 22,500
• D. 35,000

Correct answer: D

Rationale: If Claire consumes 2,500 calories a day, Alice, consuming twice as many calories as Claire, would consume 2 * 2,500 = 5,000 calories per day. To find out how many calories Alice consumes per week, we multiply her daily consumption by 7 (days in a week): 5,000 * 7 = 35,000 calories. Therefore, Alice consumes 35,000 calories per week. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not account for Alice consuming twice as many calories as Claire.
