1. Stewart has 56 acres of land. He wants to divide the land into plots of 0.25 acres. How many plots of land will Stewart have after he divides the 56 acres?

• A. 224 plots
• B. 220 plots
• C. 210 plots
• D. 230 plots

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the number of plots, divide 56 acres by 0.25 acres per plot: 56 ÷ 0.25 = 224 plots. Therefore, Stewart will have 224 plots of land after dividing the 56 acres. The correct answer is A because dividing 56 acres by 0.25 acres per plot gives 224 plots, not 220, 210, or 230 plots.

2. Express the number 1906 in Roman numerals.

• A. MCMIV
• B. MCMVI
• C. MDCCCCVI
• D. MCMVII

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert 1906 to Roman numerals, break it down into components: 1000 (M), 900 (CM), 6 (VI), resulting in MCMVI. Therefore, the correct Roman numeral representation for 1906 is MCMVI. Choice A (MCMIV) is incorrect as it represents 1904. Choice C (MDCCCCVI) is incorrect because it uses the subtractive notation incorrectly, and it's considered nonstandard. Choice D (MCMVII) is incorrect as it represents 1907, not 1906.

3. A newborn weighs 8 pounds 5 ounces. There are 453.59 grams per pound. What is the infant's weight in grams?

• A. A. 2268 grams
• B. B. 3629 grams
• C. C. 3770 grams
• D. D. 3856 grams

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert pounds and ounces to grams: 8 pounds = 8 × 453.59 = 3,628.72 grams. 5 ounces = (5 ÷ 16) × 453.59 = 141.75 grams. Total weight = 3,628.72 + 141.75 = 3,629 grams (rounded). Therefore, the infant's weight is approximately 3,629 grams. Choice A, 2268 grams, is incorrect as it does not account for the weight in ounces. Choice C, 3770 grams, is incorrect as it is not the accurate converted weight. Choice D, 3856 grams, is incorrect as it does not consider the conversion of ounces to grams.

4. How many ounces are in 2.5 gallons?

• A. 240 ounces
• B. 160 ounces
• C. 320 ounces
• D. 240 ounces

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert gallons to ounces, we need to know that 1 gallon is equal to 128 ounces. Therefore, 2.5 gallons would be 2.5 x 128 = 320 ounces. This makes choice C, '320 ounces,' the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the conversion from gallons to ounces.

5. What is 7 1/8 + 2 4/12 equal to?

• A. 9 11/24
• B. 10 1/3
• C. 8 3/8
• D. 7 7/24

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add mixed numbers, first convert the fractions to a common denominator. The least common denominator between 8 and 12 is 24. Converting 7 1/8 to 7 3/24 (since 1/8 = 3/24) and 2 4/12 to 2 8/24 (since 4/12 = 8/24), we can add the whole numbers separately to get 9. Then, adding the fractions 3/24 and 8/24 gives 11/24. Therefore, 7 1/8 + 2 4/12 equals 9 11/24. Choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct addition of mixed numbers with the appropriate conversion of fractions.
