1. How many pints are in 56 ounces?

• A. 3.5 pints
• B. 4 pints
• C. 3 pints
• D. 4.5 pints

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert ounces to pints, you need to know that 1 pint is equivalent to 16 ounces. Therefore, to find how many pints are in 56 ounces, you divide 56 by 16, which equals 3.5 pints. Hence, the correct answer is 3.5 pints. Choice B, 4 pints, is incorrect because it doesn't account for the conversion factor of 16 ounces per pint. Choice C, 3 pints, is incorrect as it is less than the actual conversion result. Choice D, 4.5 pints, is incorrect as it overestimates the number of pints in 56 ounces.

2. Joe makes $20 an hour and Tim makes $30 an hour. How many more hours than Tim must Joe work to earn the same amount that Tim makes in 4 hours?

• A. 1 hour
• B. 2 hours
• C. 3 hours
• D. 4 hours

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To earn the same amount that Tim makes in 4 hours, Tim earns $30 per hour, totaling $120 in 4 hours. Joe earns $20 per hour, so to match Tim's earnings in 4 hours, Joe must work 2 hours more than Tim. Therefore, Joe needs to work 2 hours more than Tim to earn the same amount that Tim makes in 4 hours. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the additional hours Joe needs to work compared to Tim to earn the same amount in 4 hours.

3. A set of integers can be classified as positive, negative, or zero. Which of the following statements about multiplying positive and negative integers is ALWAYS true?

• A. The product will always be positive.
• B. The product will always be negative.
• C. The product will depend on the specific positive and negative numbers used.
• D. Positive and negative integers cannot be multiplied.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: When multiplying a positive integer by a negative integer, the product will always be negative. This is a fundamental rule of arithmetic. The sign of the product is determined by the rule that states a positive number multiplied by a negative number results in a negative number. Therefore, the statement that the product will always be negative is always true when multiplying positive and negative integers. Choice A is incorrect because the product is not always positive when multiplying positive and negative integers. Choice C is incorrect because the product is not dependent on the specific numbers but on the signs of the integers being multiplied. Choice D is incorrect as positive and negative integers can be multiplied.

4. What is the result of adding 4.934, 7.1, and 9.08?

• A. 21.114
• B. 21.042
• C. 20.214
• D. 59.13

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the sum of 4.934, 7.1, and 9.08, we add them together: 4.934 + 7.1 + 9.08 = 21.114. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 21.114. Choice B, 21.042, is incorrect as it does not represent the accurate sum of the numbers provided. Choice C, 20.214, is incorrect as it does not account for the correct addition of the given numbers. Choice D, 59.13, is incorrect as it is not the sum of the numbers 4.934, 7.1, and 9.08.

5. Lulu is 5 years younger than her sister, who is 7 years older than their 15-year-old cousin. How old is Lulu?

• A. 27
• B. 22
• C. 19
• D. 17

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Let Lulu's sister's age be x. According to the given information, x = 15 (cousin's age) + 7 = 22. So, Lulu's sister is 22 years old. Since Lulu is 5 years younger than her sister, Lulu's age is 22 - 5 = 17. Therefore, Lulu is 17 years old. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correspond to the calculations based on the information provided in the question.
