1. How many gallons are in 3 fluid ounces?

• A. 0.0234 gallons
• B. 0.5 gallons
• C. 0.38 gallons
• D. 0.12 gallons

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert fluid ounces to gallons, you need to divide the number of fluid ounces by 128 because there are 128 fluid ounces in 1 gallon. Therefore, 3 fluid ounces ÷ 128 equals approximately 0.0234 gallons. Choice A is correct. Choice B (0.5 gallons) is incorrect as it is equivalent to 64 fluid ounces, not 3. Choice C (0.38 gallons) and Choice D (0.12 gallons) are also incorrect conversions of 3 fluid ounces to gallons.

2. The formula for calculating ideal body weight (IBW) for men is IBW (kg) = 50 + 2.3 * (height in cm - 150). If a man is 180cm tall, what is his ideal body weight?

• A. 68kg
• B. 71kg
• C. 74kg
• D. 77kg

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: 1. Substitute the given height into the formula for calculating ideal body weight (IBW) for men: IBW (kg) = 50 + 2.3 * (180 - 150) IBW (kg) = 50 + 2.3 * 30 IBW (kg) = 50 + 69 IBW (kg) = 119 2. Therefore, the ideal body weight for a man who is 180cm tall is 119kg. 3. Among the given options, the closest value to 119kg is 71kg (option B). 4. Hence, the correct answer is B) 71kg.

3. What is the result of dividing 152 by 2?

• A. 0.0116
• B. 0.116
• C. 76
• D. 11.6

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To divide 152 by 2, you perform the division operation, which is 152 ÷ 2 = 76. The correct answer is 76. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. Choice A, 0.0116, is the result of dividing 1 by 152 instead of 152 by 2. Choice B, 0.116, is the result of dividing 1.52 by 2. Choice D, 11.6, is the result of multiplying 152 by 2.

4. Multiply and express as a decimal: 6 × 55 =

• A. 0.0033
• B. 0.033
• C. 0.33
• D. 3.3

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the result of multiplying 6 by 55, you perform the operation 6 × 55, which equals 330. To express this product in decimal form, you place the decimal point one place from the right, resulting in 3.3. Therefore, the correct answer is D (3.3). Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not represent the correct decimal equivalent of the multiplication of 6 and 55.

5. What is the result of multiplying 7.2 by 0.34?

• A. 14.12
• B. 0.234
• C. 7.64
• D. 2.448

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the result of multiplying 7.2 by 0.34, multiply these two numbers: 7.2 x 0.34 = 2.448. The correct answer is 2.448. Choice A, 14.12, is incorrect as it seems to be the sum of the two numbers. Choice B, 0.234, is incorrect as it is much smaller than the expected result. Choice C, 7.64, is incorrect as it is the result of adding the two numbers rather than multiplying them.
