1. If there are 128 ounces in 1 gallon, how many ounces are in 2.5 gallons?

• A. 256 ounces
• B. 320 ounces
• C. 400 ounces
• D. 250 ounces

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the total number of ounces in 2.5 gallons, multiply the number of gallons by the number of ounces per gallon: 2.5 gallons × 128 ounces/gallon = 320 ounces. The correct answer is 320 ounces. Choice C (400 ounces) is incorrect because multiplying 2.5 by 128 gives 320, not 400. Choice D (250 ounces) is also incorrect as it seems to be a miscalculation.

2. Multiply: 15 × 14 = and express the result in decimal form.

• A. 0.0021
• B. 0.021
• C. 0.21
• D. 2.1

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the product of 15 and 14, you multiply the two numbers together. 15 multiplied by 14 equals 210. When written in decimal form, it is 2.1. Therefore, the correct answer is 2.1, which corresponds to option D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they reflect values much smaller than the actual product of 15 and 14, which is 210, equivalent to 2.1 in decimal form.

3. Change 0.015 to a fraction.

• A. 3/200
• B. 3/2000
• C. 15/1000
• D. 3/100

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.015 to a fraction, we can rewrite it as 15/1000. Simplifying this fraction, we get 3/200. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (3/2000) is incorrect as the decimal 0.015 is equivalent to 15/1000, not 15/2000. Choice C (15/1000) is the initial form of 0.015 as a fraction, but it can be further simplified to 3/200. Choice D (3/100) is incorrect as it does not represent the decimal 0.015.

4. Write the date 1776 in Roman numerals.

• A. MDCCLXXVI
• B. MDDLXXI
• C. MCCDLXVI
• D. MCMLXXVI

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In Roman numerals, 1776 is correctly written as MDCCLXXVI. Here's the breakdown: M (1000) + D (500) + CCC (300) + L (50) + XX (20) + VI (6) = 1776. Therefore, the correct Roman numeral representation of the date 1776 is MDCCLXXVI. Choice A is correct because it follows the correct Roman numeral rules for representing 1776. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not add up to 1776 according to Roman numeral conventions.

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.
