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. Find x. 120:x = 40:0.5.

• A. 60
• B. 0
• C. 1
• D. 25

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find x, set up the proportion and solve for x: 120/x = 40/0.5. Cross multiply to get 120 * 0.5 = 40x. This simplifies to 60 = 40x. Divide by 40 to isolate x, giving x = 60/40 = 1. Therefore, the correct answer is C, which is 1. Choice A (60) is incorrect because it does not match the correct calculation. Choice B (0) is incorrect as the calculation results in x = 1, not 0. Choice D (25) is incorrect as it does not match the correct calculation of x = 1.

3. Convert 5 3/4 to a decimal. Round to the nearest tenth.

• A. 5.6
• B. 5.7
• C. 5.8
• D. 6

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert 5 3/4 to a decimal, we add the whole number part to the fractional part: 5 + 3/4 = 5.75. Rounding 5.75 to the nearest tenth gives us 5.8. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A (5.6) is incorrect because it does not accurately represent 5 3/4. Choice B (5.7) is incorrect as well because it does not reflect the correct conversion. Choice D (6) is incorrect as it does not account for the fractional part of 5 3/4.

4. What is the result of multiplying 10 by 5?

• A. 65
• B. 50
• C. 45
• D. 55

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. To find the result of multiplying 10 by 5, you perform the calculation: 10 × 5 = 50. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the accurate product of 10 multiplied by 5.

5. What is 20% of 2?

• A. 0.4
• B. 0.2
• C. 0.3
• D. 0.1

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find 20% of a number, you multiply the number by 0.20. In this case, 0.20 * 2 = 0.4. Therefore, 0.4 is 20% of 2. Choice A (0.4) is correct. Choice B (0.2) is incorrect because it represents 10% of 2, not 20%. Choice C (0.3) is incorrect as it is not the result of calculating 20% of 2. Choice D (0.1) is incorrect as it represents 5% of 2, not 20%.
