1. How many liters are in 2,000 milliliters?

• A. 4 liters
• B. 1 liter
• C. 2 liters
• D. 4 liters

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 2 liters. There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 2,000 milliliters is equal to 2 liters. Choice A is incorrect because it incorrectly doubles the conversion. Choice B is incorrect as it represents the amount in milliliters, not liters. Choice D is a duplicate of choice A, which is incorrect.

2. A team from the highway department can replace 14 streetlights in 7 hours of work. If they work a 30-hour week at this job, in how many weeks will they replace all 120 downtown streetlights?

• A. 1½ weeks
• B. 2 weeks
• C. 2½ weeks
• D. 3 weeks

Correct answer: B

Rationale: If the team can replace 14 streetlights in 7 hours, it means they replace 2 streetlights per hour. In a 30-hour week, they can therefore replace 2 x 30 = 60 streetlights. To replace all 120 downtown streetlights, they will need 120 / 2 = 60 hours, which is equivalent to 60 / 30 = 2 weeks. Therefore, the correct answer is 2 weeks. Choice A, 1½ weeks, is incorrect because it doesn't consider the total number of streetlights that need to be replaced. Choice C, 2½ weeks, is incorrect as it overestimates the time needed. Choice D, 3 weeks, is incorrect as it underestimates the efficiency of the team in replacing streetlights.

3. If a party planner assumes 2 bottles of sparkling water per 5 guests, how many bottles must she purchase for a party of 145 guests?

• A. 27
• B. 36
• C. 49
• D. 58

Correct answer: D

Rationale: If the party planner assumes 2 bottles of sparkling water per 5 guests, for a party of 145 guests, she would need ((2/5) x 145) bottles of sparkling water. This calculation results in 58 bottles. Therefore, she must purchase 58 bottles for the party of 145 guests. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given assumption.

4. A train travels at 65 mph for 1.5 hours. How far did it travel?

• A. 97.5 miles
• B. 95 miles
• C. 100 miles
• D. 100.5 miles

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the distance traveled, multiply the speed of the train (65 mph) by the time it traveled (1.5 hours): 65 mph × 1.5 hours = 97.5 miles. Therefore, the train traveled 97.5 miles. Choice B, 95 miles, is incorrect as it does not account for the correct calculation. Choice C, 100 miles, is incorrect as it is a rounded-up value. Choice D, 100.5 miles, is incorrect as it is a miscalculation.

5. A syringe holds 3ml of liquid. How many syringes are needed to measure 15ml of liquid?

• A. 3
• B. 5
• C. 7
• D. 9

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Since each syringe holds 3ml of liquid, to measure 15ml of liquid, you would need to divide 15ml by 3ml/syringe. This calculation gives you 5 syringes needed to measure 15ml of liquid. Choice A (3 syringes) is incorrect because 3 syringes would only hold 9ml of liquid, not 15ml. Choice C (7 syringes) and Choice D (9 syringes) are incorrect as they would result in an excess amount of liquid, which is not needed.
