1. How many ounces are in 4.5 quarts?
- A. 120 ounces
- B. 120 ounces
- C. 144 ounces
- D. 128 ounces
Correct answer: C
Rationale: There are 32 ounces in a quart, so to find out how many ounces are in 4.5 quarts, you need to multiply 4.5 by 32. 4.5 quarts * 32 ounces/quart = 144 ounces. Therefore, the correct answer is 144 ounces. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the conversion from quarts to ounces.
2. 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.
3. A farmer wants to plant trees around the outside boundaries of his rectangular field with dimensions of 650 meters × 780 meters. Each tree requires 5 meters of free space all around it from the stem. How many trees can he plant?
- A. 572
- B. 568
- C. 286
- D. 282
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To determine the number of trees, reduce the field dimensions by 10 meters (5 meters of space on each side). The effective area is 640 meters × 770 meters. Each tree occupies 10 meters × 10 meters. Dividing the effective area by the space for each tree gives: (640 × 770) ÷ (10 × 10) = 286 trees. Choice A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not consider the reduction in field dimensions and the space required for each tree.
4. Stanton runs 2 miles twice a week and 3 miles once a week. If he runs every week, how many miles does he run in a year?
- A. 185
- B. 260
- C. 330
- D. 364
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To calculate how many miles Stanton runs in a year, we first find out how many miles he runs in a week. Running 2 miles twice a week is 2 x 2 = 4 miles, and running 3 miles once a week is an additional 3 miles. Therefore, in a week, Stanton runs a total of 4 + 3 = 7 miles. To find out how many miles he runs in a year, we multiply the weekly total by the number of weeks in a year (52): 7 miles/week x 52 weeks = 364 miles. Therefore, Stanton runs 364 miles in a year. Choice A (185) is incorrect as it does not account for the total weekly distance correctly. Choice B (260) is incorrect as it miscalculates the total miles run in a year. Choice C (330) is incorrect as it does not calculate the correct total distance covered by Stanton in a year.
5. Which of the following is equivalent to 0.0009?
- A. 0.009%
- B. 0.9%
- C. 0.09%
- D. 9%
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To convert 0.0009 to a percentage, you need to multiply by 100. This gives 0.0009 as 0.09%. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer. Choice A, 0.009%, is incorrect because it represents 0.009, not 0.0009. Choice B, 0.9%, is incorrect as it represents 0.9, which is a different value. Choice D, 9%, is also incorrect as it represents 9, not 0.0009.
