1. What is the boiling point of water?

• A. 100°C
• B. 98°C
• C. 99°C
• D. 102°C

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 100°C (Choice A). The boiling point of water is the temperature at which it changes from a liquid to a gas. Under normal atmospheric pressure, water boils at 100°C. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the standard boiling point of water. 98°C, 99°C, and 102°C do not correspond to the temperature at which water boils under normal conditions.

2. How many centimeters are in 1 foot?

• A. 30.48
• B. 35
• C. 25
• D. 40

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, which is 30.48. To convert inches to feet, since there are 12 inches in a foot, you need to multiply the conversion factor from inches to centimeters (2.54 cm) by the number of inches in a foot (12). This gives 30.48 cm in 1 foot. Choice B, 35, is incorrect as it does not follow the correct conversion. Choices C and D, 25 and 40 respectively, are also incorrect conversions and do not align with the conversion factors provided in the question.

3. Subtract 12 - 7 & 4\5.

• A. 4 & 4\5
• B. 5 & 4\5
• C. 4 & 1\5
• D. 5 & 1\5

Correct answer: C

Rationale: 12 - 7 & 4\5 equals 4 & 1\5.

4. How many pounds are in 160 ounces?

• A. 10 pounds
• B. 8 pounds
• C. 5 pounds
• D. 12 pounds

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 10 pounds. There are 16 ounces in a pound. To convert 160 ounces to pounds, you need to divide 160 by 16, which equals 10 pounds. Choice B, 8 pounds, is incorrect because it does not account for the correct conversion factor. Choice C, 5 pounds, is incorrect as it is not the result of dividing 160 by 16. Choice D, 12 pounds, is incorrect as it overestimates the conversion.

5. What is 25% of 200?

• A. 50
• B. 60
• C. 25
• D. 30

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find 25% of a number, you multiply the number by 0.25. So, to calculate 25% of 200, you do 0.25 × 200 = 50. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (60) is incorrect as it is the result of calculating 30% of 200. Choice C (25) is incorrect as it represents 12.5% of 200. Choice D (30) is incorrect as it is the result of calculating 15% of 200.
