1. In your class, there are 48 students; 32 students are female. Approximately what percentage are male?

• A. 33%
• B. 66%
• C. 25%
• D. 45%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In a class of 48 students, with 32 being female, the number of male students is 48 - 32 = 16. To calculate the percentage of male students, divide the number of male students (16) by the total number of students (48) and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage: (16 / 48) * 100 = 33%. Therefore, approximately 33% of the students in the class are male. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given information.

2. What temperature in Fahrenheit is 50°C? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is necessary, round to the nearest whole number.)

• A. 110°F
• B. 122°F
• C. 130°F
• D. 140°F

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit, use the formula: F = (C × 9/5) + 32. Substituting 50°C: F = (50 × 9/5) + 32 = 122°F. Therefore, 50°C is approximately 122°F. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the accurate conversion of 50°C to Fahrenheit.

3. What is 2/3 of 60 + 1/5 of 75?

• A. 45
• B. 55
• C. 15
• D. 50

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To solve the expression, first calculate 2/3 of 60 by multiplying 60 by 2/3, which equals 40. Then, calculate 1/5 of 75 by multiplying 75 by 1/5, which equals 15. Finally, add these results together: 40 + 15 = 55. Therefore, the correct answer is 55. Choice A (45) is incorrect because it seems to be the sum of the two fractions, not their individual calculations. Choice C (15) is incorrect because it only represents 1/5 of 75. Choice D (50) is incorrect as it might be a miscalculation of the sum of the two fractions.

4. Rectangle: A picture frame measures 15cm by 20cm. What is its perimeter?

• A. 30cm
• B. 55cm
• C. 65cm
• D. 75cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you add the lengths of all sides. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2 * (length + width). In this case, the length is 15cm and the width is 20cm. Therefore, the perimeter = 2 * (15cm + 20cm) = 65cm. Choice A (30cm), Choice B (55cm), and Choice D (75cm) are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the perimeter of the given rectangle.

5. How many gallons are in 576 fluid ounces?

• A. 4 gallons
• B. 5 gallons
• C. 6 gallons
• D. 3 gallons

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert fluid ounces to gallons, you need to know that there are 128 fluid ounces in a gallon. To find how many gallons are in 576 fluid ounces, divide 576 by 128, which equals 4.5 gallons. Since we are looking for the closest whole number, the answer is 4 gallons. Choice A is correct. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the conversion from fluid ounces to gallons.
