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. A farmer wants to plant trees at the outside boundaries of his rectangular field with dimensions 650 meters × 780 meters. Each tree requires 5 meters of free space all around it from the stem. How much free area will be left?

• A. 478,800 m²
• B. 492,800 m²
• C. 507,625 m²
• D. 518,256 m²

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the area taken by the trees, we need to account for the space each tree requires. Each tree needs 5 meters of free space all around it, totaling 10 meters added to each dimension. Therefore, the new dimensions of the field are (650-10) meters by (780-10) meters. Calculating the area of the new field: (640m × 770m = 492,800m²). To find the free area remaining, subtract the new field's area from the original field's area: 507,000m² - 492,800m² = 14,200m². Therefore, the free area left after planting the trees is 14,200m². Choice A is the correct answer as it represents the free area left after planting the trees.

3. If a parent changes their baby 6 times a day, how many diapers will be needed in a year?

• A. 2190 diapers
• B. 2100 diapers
• C. 2160 diapers
• D. 2140 diapers

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the number of diapers needed in a year with 6 diaper changes per day, multiply the daily diaper changes (6) by the days in a year (365): 6 x 365 = 2190 diapers required. This calculation ensures an ample supply of diapers for maintaining the infant's hygiene and comfort. The other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately account for the number of diaper changes per day multiplied by the days in a year. Choice B (2100 diapers) is too low, while choices C (2160 diapers) and D (2140 diapers) are too high based on the calculation. Understanding the frequency and quantity of diaper changes is crucial for supporting the infant's health and well-being. Therefore, the correct answer is 2190 diapers.

4. If Bill has 5.5 vacation days left for the rest of the year and 3.25 sick days left, how many days will he have off work if he uses all of this time?

• A. 8.75
• B. 7.75
• C. 9
• D. 6.75

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the total days off, you need to sum up the remaining vacation days and sick days. 5.5 vacation days + 3.25 sick days = 8.75 days off. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (7.75) is incorrect because it doesn't account for all available days off. Choice C (9) is incorrect as it overestimates the total days off. Choice D (6.75) is incorrect as it underestimates the total days off.

5. The recipe states that 4 cups of sugar will make 120 cookies. How many cups of sugar are needed to make 90 cookies?

• A. 3 cups
• B. 2 cups
• C. 1.5 cups
• D. 4 cups

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find out how many cups of sugar are needed for 90 cookies when 4 cups make 120 cookies, set up a proportion: 4/120 = x/90. Cross multiply to get 120x = 4 * 90. Solve for x to find x = 360/120 = 3. Therefore, 3 cups of sugar are needed for 90 cookies. Choice B (2 cups), Choice C (1.5 cups), and Choice D (4 cups) are incorrect because they do not align with the correct proportion calculation. The correct calculation shows that 3 cups of sugar are required for 90 cookies, as the recipe proportionally reduces when making fewer cookies.
