1. How many inches are in 2 yards?

• A. 36 inches
• B. 48 inches
• C. 60 inches
• D. 72 inches

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert yards to inches, remember that there are 36 inches in a yard. Therefore, when you have 2 yards, multiplying 36 inches by 2 results in 72 inches. Choice A, 36 inches, is the number of inches in 1 yard, not 2 yards. Choice B, 48 inches, and Choice C, 60 inches, are incorrect calculations based on the conversion factor of 36 inches per yard.

2. If the ratio and proportion 15:2000=x:200, what is the value of x?

• A. 7
• B. 0
• C. 7,777
• D. 1

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the value of x in the given ratio and proportion, we can set up the equation as 15:2000=x:200. Cross multiply to get x * 2000 = 15 * 200. Simplifying this gives x = 1. Therefore, the correct answer is D, which is 1. Choice A (7), Choice B (0), and Choice C (7,777) are incorrect as they do not match the correct calculation of x.

3. If Jolene averages 5 miles for every 30 minutes of biking, how far will she bike in 2 hours?

• A. 10 miles
• B. 15 miles
• C. 20 miles
• D. 30 miles

Correct answer: C

Rationale: If Jolene bikes 5 miles for every 30 minutes, it means she bikes 10 miles in one hour (twice the 30-minute interval). Therefore, in 2 hours, she will cover double the distance she bikes in one hour, which equals 20 miles (10 miles per hour x 2 hours = 20 miles). This makes Choice C, '20 miles,' the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not account for the correct doubling of the hourly distance when calculating the total distance biked in 2 hours.

4. How many milliliters are in 5 pints of water?

• A. 2400 milliliters
• B. 4800 milliliters
• C. 2000 milliliters
• D. 3600 milliliters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 2400 milliliters. Since 1 pint is equivalent to 480 milliliters, to find out how many milliliters are in 5 pints, you multiply 480 by 5, which equals 2400 milliliters. Choice B (4800 milliliters) is incorrect because it multiplies 480 by 10 instead of 5. Choice C (2000 milliliters) is incorrect as it incorrectly equates 1 pint to 400 milliliters. Choice D (3600 milliliters) is incorrect as it miscalculates the conversion of pints to milliliters.

5. Change the following decimal to a percent: 0.09

• A. 9%
• B. 90%
• C. 1%
• D. 0%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percentage, you multiply by 100. Therefore, 0.09 * 100 = 9%. The correct answer is A. Choice B (90%) is incorrect because multiplying 0.09 by 100 does not equal 90%. Choices C (1%) and D (0%) are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate conversion of 0.09 to a percentage.
