1. 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.

2. What number is 6 equal to 30% of?

• A. 18
• B. 20
• C. 24
• D. 26

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the number that is 30% of 6, you can set up the equation 0.3x = 6. Solving for x gives x = 6 / 0.3 = 20. Therefore, 6 is equal to 30% of 20. Choice B, 20, is incorrect as it is the result of the calculation. Choice C, 24, and Choice D, 26, are incorrect as they are not the numbers that 6 is equal to 30% of.

3. What is 4 + 5 + 12 + 9?

• A. 20
• B. 30
• C. 40
• D. 50

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 30. To find the sum, you need to add 4 + 5 + 12 + 9, which equals 30. Choice A (20) is incorrect because it does not account for the correct addition of the numbers provided. Choice C (40) is incorrect as it represents the sum of the numbers incorrectly. Choice D (50) is also incorrect as it is not the sum of the given numbers.

4. What is the perimeter of a square with a side length of 6 cm?

• A. 24 cm
• B. 12 cm
• C. 18 cm
• D. 36 cm

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The perimeter of a square is calculated by multiplying the side length by 4 since all sides are equal. In this case, the side length is 6 cm, so the perimeter is 4 * 6 = 24 cm. Therefore, choice A, 24 cm, is the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct calculation for the perimeter of a square.

5. How many whole boxes measuring 2 ft * 2 ft * 2 ft can be stored in a room measuring 9 ft * 9 ft * 9 ft, without altering the box size?

• A. 125
• B. 64
• C. 18
• D. 92

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The total volume of the room is 729 ft³ (9 ft * 9 ft * 9 ft). Each box has a volume of 8 ft³ (2 ft * 2 ft * 2 ft). Dividing the room's volume by the box volume, we get 729 ft³ / 8 ft³ ≈ 91.125. Since we can't have a fraction of a box, the maximum number of whole boxes that can fit is 92. Therefore, the correct answer is 92. Choice A (125) is incorrect as it does not result from the correct calculation. Choice B (64) and Choice C (18) are also incorrect and do not accurately represent the number of boxes that can fit in the room based on the given dimensions.
