1. How many pints are there in 4 quarts?

• A. 2 pints
• B. 8 pints
• C. 16 pints
• D. 32 pints

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert quarts to pints, we know that 1 quart is equivalent to 2 pints. Therefore, to find out how many pints are in 4 quarts, we multiply 2 pints by 4, which equals 8 pints. Hence, the correct answer is 8 pints. Choice A (2 pints) is incorrect because it represents the conversion of 1 quart, not 4 quarts. Choice C (16 pints) and Choice D (32 pints) are incorrect as they miscalculate the conversion by not considering the correct conversion factor of 2 pints per quart.

2. What is 75% of 80?

• A. 35
• B. 45
• C. 70
• D. 60

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To calculate 75% of 80, you multiply 0.75 by 80, which equals 60. Therefore, the correct answer is 60. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not represent 75% of 80. Choice A (35) is close to 50% of 80, Choice B (45) is close to 56.25% of 80, and Choice C (70) exceeds 80.

3. A stop sign has five equal sides, each measuring 25cm. What is its perimeter?

• A. 100cm
• B. 125cm
• C. 150cm
• D. 175cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: - Since a stop sign has five equal sides, each measuring 25cm, the perimeter can be calculated by adding up the lengths of all five sides. - Perimeter = 25cm + 25cm + 25cm + 25cm + 25cm = 125cm - Therefore, the perimeter of the stop sign is 125cm.

4. In the time required to serve 43 customers, a server breaks 2 glasses and slips 5 times. The next day, the same server breaks 10 glasses. How many customers did she serve?

• A. 25
• B. 43
• C. 86
• D. 215

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In the first scenario, for 43 customers served, the server broke 2 glasses and slipped 5 times. This means for each customer served, the server broke 2/43 glasses and slipped 5/43 times. The information about breaking 10 glasses the next day is irrelevant to the number of customers served. Therefore, to find out the total number of customers served, we calculate 43 customers * (2 glasses/customer + 5 slips/customer) = 86. Choice A, 25, is incorrect as it does not consider the total number of glasses broken or slips. Choice B, 43, is incorrect because it only considers the initial number of customers. Choice D, 215, is incorrect as it miscalculates the relationship between customers, glasses broken, and slips.

5. The height of a building is 150 feet. If each floor of the building is 12 feet high, how many floors are in the building?

• A. 13 floors
• B. 15 floors
• C. 10 floors
• D. 18 floors

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To determine the number of floors in the building, divide the total height of the building (150 feet) by the height of each floor (12 feet). 150 feet ÷ 12 feet per floor = 12.5 floors. Since floors cannot be in fractions, the answer is rounded down to the nearest whole number, which is 13 floors. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 13 floors. Choice B (15 floors) is incorrect because the calculation results in 12.5 floors, which should be rounded down. Choices C (10 floors) and D (18 floors) are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the division result and rounding down process.
