1. How many feet are in 2 miles?

• A. 5280 feet
• B. 15840 feet
• C. 10560 feet
• D. 10200 feet

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert miles to feet, multiply the number of miles by the conversion factor of feet per mile. Since there are 5280 feet in 1 mile, to find the number of feet in 2 miles, you multiply 2 by 5280, resulting in 10560 feet. Choice A, 5280 feet, is the conversion factor for 1 mile, not for 2 miles. Choices B and D are incorrect calculations that do not follow the conversion factor correctly.

2. How many centimeters are in 1 foot?

• A. 30.48
• B. 35
• C. 25
• D. 40

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, which is 30.48. To convert inches to feet, since there are 12 inches in a foot, you need to multiply the conversion factor from inches to centimeters (2.54 cm) by the number of inches in a foot (12). This gives 30.48 cm in 1 foot. Choice B, 35, is incorrect as it does not follow the correct conversion. Choices C and D, 25 and 40 respectively, are also incorrect conversions and do not align with the conversion factors provided in the question.

3. After spending $75.64 at one store and $22.43 at the next store, how much money does the shopper have left if they started with $100.00?

• A. $1.93
• B. $5.00
• C. $0.72
• D. $20.13

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To determine how much money the shopper has left, add the amounts spent: $75.64 + $22.43 = $98.07. Then, subtract the total spent from the starting amount: $100.00 - $98.07 = $1.93 left. Therefore, choice A, $1.93, is the correct answer. Choice B, $5.00, is incorrect because it does not reflect the correct calculation. Choice C, $0.72, is incorrect as it does not consider the total amount spent. Choice D, $20.13, is incorrect because it does not reflect the remaining amount after the expenses.

4. Subtract 6 1/2 - 2 2/3.

• A. 4 1/6
• B. 3 1/3
• C. 3 5/6
• D. 4 1/3

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To subtract mixed numbers, find a common denominator. Converting 6 1/2 to 6 3/6 and 2 2/3 to 2 4/6, the calculation becomes 6 3/6 - 2 4/6 = 4 1/6. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (3 1/3) is incorrect as the correct result is not an improper fraction. Choice C (3 5/6) is incorrect as it does not represent the result of the subtraction. Choice D (4 1/3) is incorrect as it does not match the correct calculation.

5. If a recipe requires 3 eggs for every pound of cake, how many pounds of cake can be made with 40 eggs?

• A. 12 pounds
• B. 14 pounds
• C. 13 pounds
• D. 15 pounds

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To determine the pounds of cake that can be made with 40 eggs, divide the total number of eggs by the eggs needed per pound of cake: 40 eggs ÷ 3 eggs/pound = 13 pounds of cake. Therefore, the correct answer is 13 pounds. Choice A, 12 pounds, is incorrect because it does not consider the ratio of eggs to cake. Choice B, 14 pounds, and Choice D, 15 pounds, are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given ratio in the question.
