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

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. If blank CDs cost 36 cents for two, how much does it cost to buy 10 blank CDs?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: If two blank CDs cost 36 cents, each blank CD costs 18 cents (36 cents / 2). To find the cost of 10 blank CDs, you multiply the cost of one CD by the total number of CDs: 18 cents x 10 = $1.80. Therefore, it would cost $1.80 to buy 10 blank CDs. Choice A ($0.90) is incorrect because it miscalculates the cost per CD. Choice B ($1.35) is incorrect as it doesn't consider the total number of CDs. Choice D ($3.60) is incorrect as it miscalculates the cost of one CD.

3. Subtract 2 & 5/8 - 7/8 and reduce.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To subtract 7/8 from 2 & 5/8, you need to borrow 1 whole from the 2, making it 1 whole and 13/8. Then, subtracting 7/8 from 13/8 results in 6/8, which simplifies to 3/4. Therefore, the answer is 1 & 3/4. Choice A (1 & 5/8) is incorrect as the correct answer is 1 & 3/4. Choice B (1 & 6/8) can be simplified to 1 & 3/4, which is the correct answer. Choice D (1 & ¼) is incorrect as the subtraction result is greater than 1, making the whole number part 1.

4. How many liters are in 120 milliliters?

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert milliliters to liters, divide the milliliters by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in a liter. In this case, 120 milliliters divided by 1000 equals 0.12 liters. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.12 liters. Choice A (1.2 liters) is incorrect as it incorrectly moved the decimal point. Choice B (12 liters) is incorrect as it incorrectly multiplied by 10 instead of dividing by 1000. Choice C (1,200 liters) is incorrect as it added an extra zero, resulting in a much larger value.

5. Teresa began collecting baseball cards exactly 8 months ago, and in that time, she has collected 144 cards. On average, how many baseball cards has she collected per month?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Teresa collected 144 baseball cards in 8 months. To find the average number of cards collected per month, we divide the total number of cards by the total months: 144 cards ÷ 8 months = 18 cards per month. Therefore, on average, Teresa has collected 18 baseball cards per month. Choice A (12), Choice B (16), and Choice D (22) are incorrect as they do not match the correct calculation based on the information provided in the question.
