1. How many pounds are in 80 ounces?

• A. 5 pounds
• B. 6 pounds
• C. 4 pounds
• D. 3 pounds

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert ounces to pounds, you need to know that there are 16 ounces in a pound. Therefore, to find how many pounds are in 80 ounces, you divide 80 by 16, which equals 5 pounds. Thus, the correct answer is 5 pounds. Choice B, 6 pounds, is incorrect because it doesn't accurately reflect the conversion from ounces to pounds. Choice C, 4 pounds, and Choice D, 3 pounds, are also incorrect as they do not align with the correct conversion factor of 16 ounces to 1 pound.

2. A table top has dimensions of 75cm by 50cm. What is its perimeter if opposite sides are equal?

• A. 125cm
• B. 150cm
• C. 200cm
• D. 50cm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - Given that the table top has dimensions of 75cm by 50cm. - Since opposite sides are equal, the table top can be divided into two pairs of equal sides: 75cm and 50cm. - To find the perimeter, we add up all four sides: 75cm + 50cm + 75cm + 50cm = 250cm. - However, since opposite sides are equal, we only need to consider two sides: 75cm + 50cm = 125cm. - Therefore, the perimeter of the table top is 125cm + 125cm = 150cm. - Hence, the correct answer is B) 150cm.

3. What is 39 ÷ 8 ÷ 7/6?

• A. 56/39
• B. 39/8
• C. 4 & 7/8
• D. 5 & 8/14

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve the division problem, we need to remember the rule 'Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.' Therefore, 39 ÷ 8 ÷ 7/6 is equivalent to 39 ÷ 8 × 6/7. Simplifying this gives (39 × 6) ÷ (8 × 7) = 234 ÷ 56 = 56/39. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly simplify the given division problem.

4. A birdbath has a hemispherical bowl with a diameter of 30cm. What is its volume?

• A. 675 cu cm
• B. 1350 cu cm
• C. 2700 cu cm
• D. 4050 cu cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the volume of a hemispherical bowl, we use half the formula for a sphere's volume: (2/3) * π * (radius)^3. Given the diameter is 30cm, the radius is half of that, which is 15cm. Substitute the radius into the formula: (2/3) * π * (15cm)^3 ≈ 2700 cu cm. Therefore, the correct volume is approximately 2700 cu cm. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the volume of the hemispherical bowl.

5. After spending $75.64 at one store and $22.43 at the next store, how much money does the shopper have left if they started with $100.00?

• A. $1.93
• B. $5.00
• C. $0.72
• D. $20.13

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To determine how much money the shopper has left, add the amounts spent: $75.64 + $22.43 = $98.07. Then, subtract the total spent from the starting amount: $100.00 - $98.07 = $1.93 left. Therefore, choice A, $1.93, is the correct answer. Choice B, $5.00, is incorrect because it does not reflect the correct calculation. Choice C, $0.72, is incorrect as it does not consider the total amount spent. Choice D, $20.13, is incorrect because it does not reflect the remaining amount after the expenses.
