1. If Mom's car drove 72 miles in 90 minutes, how fast did she drive in feet per second?

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert miles per hour to feet per second, first convert time to hours: 90 minutes = 1.5 hours. Then, calculate the speed in miles per hour: 72 miles in 1.5 hours = 48 mph. Finally, convert mph to feet per second using the conversion factor 1 mph = 1.47 feet per second: 48 mph * 1.47 = 70.4 feet per second. Therefore, the correct answer is 70.4 feet per second. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct conversion from miles per hour to feet per second.

2. How many centimeters in an inch? How many inches in a centimeter?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct conversion is: 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters and 1 centimeter = 0.393 inches. Therefore, option A is correct. Option B is incorrect as the conversion is incorrect. Option C is incorrect as it does not match the correct conversion values. Option D is incorrect as the conversion values provided are inaccurate.

3. If Sarah reads at an average rate of 21 pages in four nights, how long will it take her to read 140 pages?

Correct answer: D

Rationale: If Sarah reads 21 pages in four nights, she reads at a rate of 21 / 4 = 5.25 pages per night. To read 140 pages, she would need 140 / 5.25 = 26.67 nights. Since she cannot read a fraction of a night, it would take her 27 nights to read 140 pages, making option D the correct answer. Option A is incorrect as it does not accurately reflect the calculation. Option B is incorrect as it does not consider the fractional part of the calculation, resulting in an inaccurate answer. Option C is incorrect as it does not align with the correct calculation based on Sarah's reading rate.

4. Dr. Lee observed that 30% of all his patients developed an infection after taking a certain antibiotic. He further noticed that 5% of that 30% required hospitalization to recover from the infection. What percentage of Dr. Lee's patients were hospitalized after taking the antibiotic?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the percentage of Dr. Lee's patients hospitalized after taking the antibiotic, we need to calculate 30% of 5%. First, convert 30% and 5% to decimals: 30% = 0.30 and 5% = 0.05. Multiply 0.30 by 0.05 to get 0.015. To convert 0.015 to a percentage, multiply by 100, resulting in 1.5%. Therefore, only 1.50% of Dr. Lee's patients were hospitalized after taking the antibiotic. Choice A is correct. Choice B (5%) is incorrect as it represents the percentage of patients who developed an infection and not those hospitalized. Choices C (15%) and D (30%) are also incorrect percentages as they do not accurately reflect the proportion of hospitalized patients in this scenario.

5. What is the area of a square that measures 3.1m on each side?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the area of a square, you square the length of one side. In this case, the side length is 3.1m. So, Area = side² = 3.1m × 3.1m = 9.61m². Therefore, the correct answer is 9.61m². Choice A (12.4m²) is incorrect as it is the result of multiplying 3.1m by 4 instead of squaring it. Choice C (6.2m²) is incorrect as it is half of the correct answer. Choice D (9.1m²) is incorrect as it is the result of squaring the wrong value (3.1²).
