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. What is the sum of 3/7, 4/7, and 2/7?

• A. 7/7
• B. 9/7
• C. 6/7
• D. 7/7

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the sum of fractions with the same denominator, add the numerators. Here, 3/7 + 4/7 + 2/7 = (3 + 4 + 2)/7 = 9/7. Therefore, the correct answer is 9/7. Choice A (7/7) is incorrect as the sum is not 7/7. Choice C (6/7) is incorrect as the sum is not 6/7. Choice D (7/7) is incorrect as the sum is not 7/7.

3. How many milliliters are in 4 liters?

• A. 40 milliliters
• B. 40 milliliters
• C. 4000 milliliters
• D. 4 milliliters

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you must remember that 1 liter is equal to 1,000 milliliters. Therefore, to find out how many milliliters are in 4 liters, you multiply 4 by 1,000. This gives you a total of 4,000 milliliters in 4 liters. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert liters to milliliters. A and B incorrectly represent 40 milliliters, which would be the result if you mistakenly multiplied by 10 instead of 1,000. Choice D is even further from the correct answer, as it suggests only 4 milliliters, which is significantly less than the actual conversion of 4 liters to milliliters.

4. An artist sells paintings at $5.50 each. She has 7 stands and pays $35 per stand. What is her profit if she sells an average of 11 paintings per stand?

• A. $245
• B. $178.50
• C. $175
• D. $423.50

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the profit, first determine the total revenue: 7 stands * 11 paintings per stand * $5.50 per painting = $423.50. Then, subtract the total stand expenses ($35 per stand * 7 stands = $245) from the total revenue to get the profit: $423.50 - $245 = $178.50. Therefore, the correct answer is $178.50. Option A is incorrect because it does not account for the stand expenses. Option C is incorrect as it does not consider the total revenue. Option D is incorrect as it overestimates the profit by not deducting the stand expenses.

5. The height of a building is 150 feet. If each floor of the building is 12 feet high, how many floors are in the building?

• A. 13 floors
• B. 15 floors
• C. 10 floors
• D. 18 floors

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To determine the number of floors in the building, divide the total height of the building (150 feet) by the height of each floor (12 feet). 150 feet ÷ 12 feet per floor = 12.5 floors. Since floors cannot be in fractions, the answer is rounded down to the nearest whole number, which is 13 floors. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 13 floors. Choice B (15 floors) is incorrect because the calculation results in 12.5 floors, which should be rounded down. Choices C (10 floors) and D (18 floors) are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the division result and rounding down process.
