1. If the outside temperature is currently 22 degrees on the Celsius scale, what is the approximate temperature on the Fahrenheit scale?

• A. 56°F
• B. 62°F
• C. 66.5°F
• D. 71.6°F

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the formula: F = (C x 1.8) + 32. Substituting C = 22 into the formula gives: F = (22 x 1.8) + 32 = 39.6 + 32 = 71.6°F. Therefore, the approximate temperature on the Fahrenheit scale when it is 22 degrees Celsius is 71.6°F. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not match the correct conversion result. Choice A, 56°F, is lower than the correct conversion. Choice B, 62°F, is also lower than the correct conversion. Choice C, 66.5°F, is not a whole number and does not match the precise conversion of 71.6°F. Thus, the correct answer is 71.6°F.

2. What is the result of multiplying 226 by 55.3?

• A. 12,500
• B. 12,541.8
• C. 12,600
• D. 12,450

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 12,541.8. To find this result, you multiply 226 by 55.3, which equals 12,541.8. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the accurate multiplication of 226 by 55.3.

3. What percent of 36 is 9?

• A. 25%
• B. 20%
• C. 15%
• D. 10%

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find out what percent 9 is of 36, divide 9 by 36 and multiply by 100 to convert it to a percentage. So, (9/36) * 100 = 25%. This indicates that 9 is 25% of 36, not 10%. Choice A, 25%, is the result of calculating what percent 36 is of 9, not the other way around. Choices B and C are incorrect as they do not align with the calculated percentage.

4. What is the result of the expression 4/5 + 6/7?

• A. 1 23/35
• B. 2 5/7
• C. 1 1/7
• D. 1 3/4

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add fractions with different denominators, you first need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator for 5 and 7 is 35. Then, convert each fraction to have a denominator of 35. 4/5 becomes 28/35, and 6/7 becomes 30/35. Adding these fractions together gives 58/35, which simplifies to 1 23/35. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 1 23/35. Choice B, 2 5/7, is incorrect because it does not match the correct result. Choice C, 1 1/7, is incorrect as it is not the simplified form of the sum of the fractions. Choice D, 1 3/4, is incorrect as it is a different result and not the sum of 4/5 and 6/7.

5. A honeycomb cell has six equal sides, each measuring 8mm. What is its perimeter?

• A. 32mm
• B. 40mm
• C. 48mm
• D. 56mm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the perimeter of a shape with equal sides, you multiply the length of one side by the number of sides. In this case, the honeycomb cell has 6 sides, each measuring 8mm. Therefore, the perimeter is calculated as perimeter = number of sides * side length = 6 * 8mm = 48mm. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the total length around the honeycomb cell with six sides.
