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. Olivia currently earns $51,200 in her job. If her salary increases by 4% this year, what will her new salary be?

• A. $52,348
• B. $52,736
• C. $53,040
• D. $53,248

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find Olivia's new salary after a 4% increase, we calculate 4% of $51,200, which is 0.04 x $51,200 = $2,048. Adding this increase to Olivia's current salary gives us the new salary: $51,200 + $2,048 = $53,248. Therefore, Olivia's salary after the 4% increase will be $53,248. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation for the new salary after a 4% increase.

3. Jeff needed a 6 ft. rope. He found 2 pieces of rope and thought maybe he could tie them together. One rope was 40 inches and the other was 36 inches. How long would the rope be, and would he have enough rope if he ties them together?

• A. No, the rope would be 76 inches.
• B. Yes, the rope would be 76 inches.
• C. Yes, the rope would be 6 feet.
• D. No, the rope would be 6 feet.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert 6 feet to inches, we multiply 6 by 12 (1 foot = 12 inches), giving us 72 inches needed. By adding the lengths of the two ropes (40 inches + 36 inches), Jeff would have a total of 76 inches, which is more than the 72 inches required. Therefore, he would have enough rope if he ties them together. Choice A and D are incorrect because they misinterpret the conversion from feet to inches. Choice C is incorrect as it does not consider the actual combined length of the two ropes.

4. Fred's rule for computing an infant's dose of medication is: infant's dose = (Child's age in months x adult dose) / 150. If the adult dose of medication is 15 mg, how much should be given to a 2-year-old child?

• A. 2.4 mg
• B. 3
• C. 48 mg
• D. 1

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the dose for a 2-year-old child using Fred's rule, we substitute the child's age (24 months) and the adult dose (15 mg) into the formula: (24 x 15) / 150 = 2.4 mg. Therefore, the correct answer is A, representing 2.4 mg for a 2-year-old child. Choice B is incorrect as it does not match the calculated dose. Choice C is incorrect as it does not consider the formula provided. Choice D is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct calculation based on the given information.

5. A school has 500 students, and 60% of them are girls. How many girls are there in the school?

• A. 250 girls
• B. 300 girls
• C. 200 girls
• D. 350 girls

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Correct! To find out how many girls are in the school, you need to calculate 60% of 500. 60% of 500 is 0.6 * 500 = 300. Therefore, there are 300 girls in the school. Choice A (250 girls) is incorrect because 60% of 500 is not 250. Choice C (200 girls) is incorrect as it is less than 300. Choice D (350 girls) is incorrect as it is more than 300.
