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. How many gallons are in 16 quarts?

• A. 1 gallon
• B. 8 gallons
• C. 4 gallons
• D. 4.5 gallons

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert quarts to gallons, remember that 1 gallon equals 4 quarts. Therefore, 16 quarts ÷ 4 quarts/gallon = 4 gallons. The correct answer is 4 gallons because each gallon contains 4 quarts. Choice A (1 gallon) is incorrect because 1 gallon is equal to 4 quarts, not 16 quarts. Choice B (8 gallons) is incorrect as it miscalculates the conversion. Choice D (4.5 gallons) is incorrect because it doesn't align with the conversion rate of 4 quarts per gallon.

4. What is the average of the numbers 14, 73, and 7?

• A. 28.57
• B. 30.57
• C. 29.56
• D. 31.33

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. Adding 14 + 73 + 7 gives a total of 94. To find the average, we divide the sum by the number of values (3), which equals 31.33. Rounding this average to two decimal places gives us 31.33, which corresponds to option D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the average of the given numbers. Choice A is close to the sum of the numbers, not the average. Choices B and C are also not correct averages calculated from the provided numbers.

5. Convert the following military time to regular time: 15:17:52.

• A. 2:17 PM
• B. 3:17 PM
• C. 5:17 AM
• D. 9:17 AM

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert military time to regular time, subtract 12 from the hours if it is 13 or greater. In this case, 15:17:52 becomes 3:17:52 PM. Choice A (2:17 PM) is incorrect as it doesn't adjust for the 12-hour conversion. Choice C (5:17 AM) and Choice D (9:17 AM) are incorrect as they don't reflect the correct conversion from military time to regular time.
