1. How many ounces are in 2.5 gallons?

• A. 240 ounces
• B. 160 ounces
• C. 320 ounces
• D. 240 ounces

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert gallons to ounces, we need to know that 1 gallon is equal to 128 ounces. Therefore, 2.5 gallons would be 2.5 x 128 = 320 ounces. This makes choice C, '320 ounces,' the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the conversion from gallons to ounces.

2. What is the result of multiplying 8 by 2?

• A. 16
• B. 22
• C. 24
• D. 32

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 16. When you multiply 8 by 2, the result is 16. Choice B (22), Choice C (24), and Choice D (32) are incorrect as they do not represent the correct multiplication of 8 by 2.

3. A table top has dimensions of 75cm by 50cm. What is its perimeter if opposite sides are equal?

• A. 125cm
• B. 150cm
• C. 200cm
• D. 50cm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - Given that the table top has dimensions of 75cm by 50cm. - Since opposite sides are equal, the table top can be divided into two pairs of equal sides: 75cm and 50cm. - To find the perimeter, we add up all four sides: 75cm + 50cm + 75cm + 50cm = 250cm. - However, since opposite sides are equal, we only need to consider two sides: 75cm + 50cm = 125cm. - Therefore, the perimeter of the table top is 125cm + 125cm = 150cm. - Hence, the correct answer is B) 150cm.

4. What is the product of 375 and 2.3?

• A. 862.5
• B. 750
• C. 225.75
• D. 1125

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the product of 375 and 2.3, multiply them: 375 × 2.3 = 862.5. When multiplying by 2.3, it is important to shift the decimal point appropriately after performing the calculation. Choice A, 862.5, is the correct answer. Choice B, 750, is incorrect because it is the result of multiplying 375 by 2. Choice C, 225.75, is incorrect as it appears to be the result of multiplying the numbers in the wrong order. Choice D, 1125, is incorrect as it seems to be the result of multiplying 375 by 3 instead of 2.3.

5. Stanton runs 2 miles twice a week and 3 miles once a week. If he runs every week, how many miles does he run in a year?

• A. 185
• B. 260
• C. 330
• D. 364

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To calculate how many miles Stanton runs in a year, we first find out how many miles he runs in a week. Running 2 miles twice a week is 2 x 2 = 4 miles, and running 3 miles once a week is an additional 3 miles. Therefore, in a week, Stanton runs a total of 4 + 3 = 7 miles. To find out how many miles he runs in a year, we multiply the weekly total by the number of weeks in a year (52): 7 miles/week x 52 weeks = 364 miles. Therefore, Stanton runs 364 miles in a year. Choice A (185) is incorrect as it does not account for the total weekly distance correctly. Choice B (260) is incorrect as it miscalculates the total miles run in a year. Choice C (330) is incorrect as it does not calculate the correct total distance covered by Stanton in a year.
