1. One gallon of cleaning solution requires 6 oz of ammonia. If the maintenance department needs 230 gallons of solution to clean all of the floors, how much ammonia is needed?

• A. 1380 gallons
• B. 6900 gallons
• C. 1380 oz
• D. 1400 oz

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find out how much ammonia is needed for 230 gallons of cleaning solution, you multiply the amount of ammonia needed per gallon by the total gallons of solution required. Therefore, 230 gallons * 6 oz/gallon = 1380 oz of ammonia. Option A ('1380 gallons') and Option B ('6900 gallons') are incorrect as the question asks for the amount of ammonia needed, not the total volume of cleaning solution. Option D ('1400 oz') is incorrect as it does not correctly calculate the amount of ammonia required based on the given information.

2. How many quarts are in 1 liter?

• A. 1 quart
• B. 1.06 quarts
• C. 2 quarts
• D. 0.5 quarts

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert liters to quarts, you can use the conversion factor 1 liter ≈ 1.06 quarts. Therefore, 1 liter is approximately 1.06 quarts. Choice A is incorrect because 1 quart is not equivalent to 1 liter. Choice C is incorrect as 2 quarts is more than 1 liter. Choice D is incorrect as 0.5 quarts is half of 1 liter.

3. Find the area in square centimeters of a circle with a diameter of 16 centimeters. Use 3.14 for π.

• A. 25.12
• B. 50.24
• C. 100.48
• D. 200.96

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The formula for the area of a circle is: Area = π x (radius²). Given: Diameter = 16 cm, so Radius = Diameter / 2 = 16 / 2 = 8 cm. Now, calculate the area using π = 3.14: Area = 3.14 x (8²) = 3.14 x 64 = 200.96 cm². The correct answer is D (200.96 cm²) as it correctly calculates the area of the circle. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not represent the accurate area of the circle based on the given diameter and π value.

4. Three friends are sharing a burger. One friend eats a quarter of the burger. The other two friends equally divide the rest among themselves. What portion of the burger did each of the other two friends receive?

• A. 6-Jan
• B. 4-Jan
• C. 4-Mar
• D. 8-Mar

Correct answer: D

Rationale: After one friend eats a quarter of the burger, 3/4 of the burger remains. Dividing this equally between the other two friends means each receives 3/8 of the whole burger. Therefore, the correct answer is 8-Mar. Choice A (6-Jan), Choice B (4-Jan), and Choice C (4-Mar) are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the portion each of the other two friends receives after one friend consumes a quarter of the burger.

5. How do you find the radius of a circle when given the diameter? How do you find the radius of a circle when given the circumference?

• A. Radius = Diameter ÷ 2; Radius = Circumference ÷ 2Ï€
• B. Radius = Diameter ÷ 3; Radius = Circumference ÷ Ï€
• C. Radius = Diameter × 2; Radius = Circumference × 2Ï€
• D. Radius = Diameter ÷ 4; Radius = Circumference ÷ Ï€

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct way to find the radius of a circle when given the diameter is by dividing the diameter by 2 to get the radius (Radius = Diameter ÷ 2). When given the circumference, you need to divide the circumference by 2π to find the radius (Radius = Circumference ÷ 2π). Choice A provides the accurate formulas for finding the radius in both scenarios. Choices B, C, and D present incorrect formulas that do not align with the correct calculations for determining the radius of a circle based on the given information.
