1. How many ounces are in 3 pints?

• A. 24 ounces
• B. 48 ounces
• C. 32 ounces
• D. 64 ounces

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find out how many ounces are in 3 pints, you need to multiply the number of pints by the number of ounces in 1 pint. Since there are 16 ounces in 1 pint, 3 pints equal 3 * 16 = 48 ounces. Therefore, the correct answer is 48 ounces. Choice A (24 ounces) is incorrect because it miscalculates the conversion. Choice C (32 ounces) is incorrect as it does not correctly apply the conversion factor. Choice D (64 ounces) is incorrect as it doubles the correct answer, showing a misunderstanding of the conversion.

2. 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.

3. A stop sign has five equal sides, each measuring 25cm. What is its perimeter?

• A. 100cm
• B. 125cm
• C. 150cm
• D. 175cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: - Since a stop sign has five equal sides, each measuring 25cm, the perimeter can be calculated by adding up the lengths of all five sides. - Perimeter = 25cm + 25cm + 25cm + 25cm + 25cm = 125cm - Therefore, the perimeter of the stop sign is 125cm.

4. If 1 pound equals 453.59 grams, how many grams would a 7 lb. baby weigh?

• A. 3175.13 grams
• B. 4000 grams
• C. 4535 grams
• D. 3500 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert pounds to grams, multiply the weight in pounds by the conversion factor of 453.59 grams per pound. Therefore, 7 pounds x 453.59 grams/pound = 3175.13 grams, which is the weight of a 7 lb. baby in grams. Choice A is correct. Choice B (4000 grams) is incorrect as it does not use the correct conversion factor. Choice C (4535 grams) is incorrect as it seems to have used a rounding error. Choice D (3500 grams) is incorrect as it does not apply the correct conversion factor.

5. After taking several practice tests, Brian improved the results of his GRE test by 30%. Given that the first time he took the test Brian answered 150 questions correctly, how many questions did he answer correctly on the second test?

• A. 105
• B. 120
• C. 180
• D. 195

Correct answer: D

Rationale: If Brian answered 150 questions correctly on the first test, after improving his results by 30%, he would have answered (150 * 1.30) = 195 questions correctly on the second test. Therefore, the correct answer is 195, option D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not account for the 30% improvement in the number of questions Brian answered correctly on the second test.
