1. If a train travels 60 miles per hour for 2 hours, how far does the train travel?

• A. 60 miles
• B. 100 miles
• C. 120 miles
• D. 200 miles

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the distance traveled by the train, we use the formula Distance = Speed x Time. Given that the train travels at 60 miles per hour for 2 hours, the calculation would be 60 miles/hour x 2 hours = 120 miles. Therefore, the correct answer is 120 miles. Choice A (60 miles) is incorrect because it only represents the speed of the train, not the total distance traveled. Choice B (100 miles) is incorrect as it does not account for the full 2 hours of travel. Choice D (200 miles) is incorrect as it overestimates the distance by multiplying the speed by the time incorrectly.

2. How many whole boxes measuring 2 ft * 2 ft * 2 ft can be stored in a room measuring 9 ft * 9 ft * 9 ft, without altering the box size?

• A. 125
• B. 64
• C. 18
• D. 92

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The total volume of the room is 729 ft³ (9 ft * 9 ft * 9 ft). Each box has a volume of 8 ft³ (2 ft * 2 ft * 2 ft). Dividing the room's volume by the box volume, we get 729 ft³ / 8 ft³ ≈ 91.125. Since we can't have a fraction of a box, the maximum number of whole boxes that can fit is 92. Therefore, the correct answer is 92. Choice A (125) is incorrect as it does not result from the correct calculation. Choice B (64) and Choice C (18) are also incorrect and do not accurately represent the number of boxes that can fit in the room based on the given dimensions.

3. What score must Dwayne get on his next math test to maintain an overall average of at least 90?

• A. 89
• B. 98
• C. 95
• D. 100

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To maintain an overall average of at least 90, Dwayne must aim for a score of 90 on every test. If his current average is below 90, he needs to make up for it by scoring higher on upcoming tests. Choosing 98 ensures that his overall average remains at or above 90. Choice A (89) is below the desired average of 90, so it would not be sufficient. Choices C (95) and D (100) are higher than necessary to maintain an average of at least 90.

4. How many gallons are in 1,000 fluid ounces?

• A. 7.8125 gallons
• B. 15.625 gallons
• C. 31.25 gallons
• D. 62.5 gallons

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert fluid ounces to gallons, you need to divide the number of fluid ounces by the number of fluid ounces in a gallon. Since there are 128 fluid ounces in a gallon, to find out how many gallons are in 1,000 fluid ounces, you divide 1,000 by 128. The correct calculation is 1,000 / 128 = 7.8125 gallons. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the conversion from fluid ounces to gallons.

5. Sarah works part-time and earns $12 per hour. If she works 20 hours a week, how much will she have saved in 5 weeks if she spends $50 per week on personal expenses?

• A. $600
• B. $750
• C. $500
• D. $650

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find out how much Sarah saves in 5 weeks, first calculate her weekly earnings: $12/hour × 20 hours/week = $240/week. Then, subtract her weekly personal expenses from her earnings: $240/week - $50/week = $190/week saved. Over 5 weeks, she will save $190/week × 5 weeks = $950. However, none of the provided answer choices match $950. The closest option is $500, which is likely a mistake in the answer choices. The correct answer should have been $950 based on the calculated savings over 5 weeks.
