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 train travels at 70 mph for 6 hours. How far did it travel?

• A. 490 miles
• B. 490 miles
• C. 540 miles
• D. 420 miles

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the distance traveled, multiply the speed of 70 mph by the time of 6 hours: 70 mph × 6 hours = 420 miles. Therefore, the correct answer is 420 miles. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not result from the correct calculation.

3. What is 80% of 55?

• A. 40
• B. 44
• C. 39
• D. 45

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find 80% of a number, you multiply the number by 0.8. Therefore, 80% of 55 is calculated as 0.8 × 55 = 44. Choice A (40), choice C (39), and choice D (45) are incorrect as they do not represent the correct calculation for 80% of 55.

4. 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.

5. A person is laying stones for a garden. They have 1,200 stones. Each stone covers an area of 0.75 square feet. What is the total area that the stones will cover?

• A. 800 sq ft
• B. 750 sq ft
• C. 900 sq ft
• D. 950 sq ft

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the total area covered by the stones, multiply the number of stones by the area each stone covers: 1,200 stones * 0.75 sq ft = 900 sq ft. Therefore, the stones will cover 900 sq ft, which is closest to 800 sq ft among the answer choices A, B, C, and D. The correct answer is A, 800 sq ft. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not result from the correct calculation of multiplying the number of stones by the area each stone covers.
