1. How many ounces are in 4 quarts?

• A. 64 ounces
• B. 128 ounces
• C. 32 ounces
• D. 16 ounces

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 128 ounces. There are 32 ounces in a quart, so when you have 4 quarts, you multiply 4 by 32 to get the total number of ounces, which equals 128. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct conversion from quarts to ounces.

2. How many milliliters are in 4 liters?

• A. 40 milliliters
• B. 40 milliliters
• C. 4000 milliliters
• D. 4 milliliters

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you must remember that 1 liter is equal to 1,000 milliliters. Therefore, to find out how many milliliters are in 4 liters, you multiply 4 by 1,000. This gives you a total of 4,000 milliliters in 4 liters. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert liters to milliliters. A and B incorrectly represent 40 milliliters, which would be the result if you mistakenly multiplied by 10 instead of 1,000. Choice D is even further from the correct answer, as it suggests only 4 milliliters, which is significantly less than the actual conversion of 4 liters to milliliters.

3. If an investment earns 5% interest annually, how much interest will it earn in 1 year on a principal of $1,000?

• A. $40
• B. $50
• C. $60
• D. $55

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: $50. To calculate the interest earned on an investment with a 5% interest rate on a principal of $1,000, you simply multiply the principal amount by the interest rate. 5% of $1,000 is $50. Therefore, the investment will earn $50 in interest in 1 year. Choice A, $40, is incorrect because it represents 4% interest instead of 5%. Choice C, $60, is incorrect because it overestimates the interest earned. Choice D, $55, is incorrect as it does not accurately reflect the 5% interest on the principal amount.

4. A bottle of hand sanitizer contains 70% alcohol. If 5ml of sanitizer are used, how much pure alcohol is present?

• A. 1.4ml
• B. 2.1ml
• C. 2.8ml
• D. 3.5ml

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - If the hand sanitizer contains 70% alcohol, it means that 70% of the 5ml used is pure alcohol. - To find the amount of pure alcohol present, we calculate 70% of 5ml: 0.7 * 5ml = 3.5ml. - Therefore, when 5ml of sanitizer are used, there are 3.5ml of pure alcohol present.

5. If the outside temperature is 59 degrees on the Fahrenheit scale, what is the approximate temperature on the Celsius scale?

• A. −9°C
• B. 15°C
• C. 23°C
• D. 87°C

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the formula: °C = (°F - 32) x 5/9. Substituting the Fahrenheit temperature of 59 degrees into the formula: °C = (59 - 32) x 5/9 = 27 x 5/9 = 135/9 = 15. Therefore, the approximate temperature on the Celsius scale is 15°C. Choice A is incorrect as it represents a negative temperature which is not the case here. Choice C and D are also incorrect as they do not match the calculated conversion from Fahrenheit to Celsius.
