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. What is the result of adding 1/2 + 4/5?

• A. 1 3/10
• B. 1/2/2024
• C. 1 2/5
• D. 1 1/5

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add fractions, you need a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 10. So, 1/2 + 4/5 = 5/10 + 8/10 = 13/10 = 1 3/10. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 1 3/10. Choice B, 1/2/2024, is incorrect as it does not represent the sum of the fractions given. Choice C, 1 2/5, is incorrect as it does not match the sum calculated. Choice D, 1 1/5, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct sum of the fractions provided.

3. What is the result of adding 5 2/9 and 1 2/9?

• A. 6 4/9
• B. 7 5/9
• C. 7
• D. 5 2/9

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add mixed numbers with fractions, first add the whole numbers together: 5 + 1 = 6. Then add the fractions: 2/9 + 2/9 = 4/9. Combining the whole number and the fraction parts gives 6 4/9. Therefore, the correct answer is 6 4/9. Choice B (7 5/9) is incorrect as the fractions were not added correctly. Choice C (7) is incorrect as it does not account for the fractions. Choice D (5 2/9) is one of the original numbers and not the sum of both.

4. Convert this military time to regular time: 1010 hours.

• A. 10:10 A.M.
• B. 10:10 P.M.
• C. 1:01 A.M.
• D. 1:01 P.M.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert military time to regular time, we can drop the first two digits if they are less than 12. 1010 hours can be converted to 10:10 A.M. because it is before noon (12:00 P.M.). Military time operates on a 24-hour clock system, with 0000 hours indicating midnight and 1200 hours representing noon. Therefore, in this case, 1010 corresponds to 10:10 A.M. Choice B (10:10 P.M.) is incorrect as 1010 hours is in the morning, not the evening. Choices C (1:01 A.M.) and D (1:01 P.M.) are incorrect as they do not match the given military time of 1010 hours.

5. What is the perimeter of a garden bed with a side length of 8 meters?

• A. 16m
• B. 24m
• C. 32m
• D. 64m

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 24m. The perimeter of a square is found by adding up all its sides. In this case, since the garden bed has a side length of 8 meters, the perimeter would be 8m + 8m + 8m + 8m = 24m. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the perimeter of a square with a side length of 8 meters.
