1. If the outside temperature on a sunny day is 82 degrees on the Fahrenheit scale, what is the approximate temperature on the Celsius scale?
- A. 18°C
- B. 24°C
- C. 28°C
- D. 50°C
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the formula:
2. What is the probability of rolling an even number on a six-sided die?
- A. 50%
- B. 16.70%
- C. 25%
- D. 33.30%
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A, 50%. A standard six-sided die has three even numbers (2, 4, 6) out of six possible outcomes. The probability of rolling an even number is therefore 3 out of 6, which simplifies to 50%. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the probability of rolling an even number on a six-sided die.
3. A man can type 45 words per minute. How many words can he type in 20 minutes?
- A. 875 words
- B. 800 words
- C. 900 words
- D. 875 words
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To calculate the total number of words typed in 20 minutes, multiply the typing speed per minute (45 words) by the duration in minutes (20 minutes): 45 words/min × 20 min = 900 words. Therefore, the correct answer is 900 words. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the accurate calculation based on the given information.
4. Multiply 4/9 x 1 & 4/5 x 2/5.
- A. 15
- B. 7/16
- C. 8/25
- D. 19
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. Calculating 4/9 x 1 & 4/5 x 2/5 gives you (4 x 1) / (9 x 1) & (4 x 2) / (5 x 5) = 4/9 & 8/25. Therefore, the correct answer is 8/25. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not result from the correct multiplication of the fractions provided.
5. Convert this military time to regular time: 1310 hours.
- A. 1:10 A.M.
- B. 1:10 P.M.
- C. 1:31 A.M.
- D. 1:31 P.M.
Correct answer: D
Rationale: In military time, 1310 hours is equivalent to 1:10 P.M. However, in regular time, the conversion should have a colon between the hour and minutes, so the correct conversion is 1:31 P.M. Choice A (1:10 A.M.) and Choice C (1:31 A.M.) are incorrect as they both represent A.M. hours, while 1310 hours is in the afternoon (P.M.). Choice B (1:10 P.M.) is incorrect as it represents the hour correctly but lacks the accurate minutes representation.
