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. A family uses 12 gallons of water every day. How many gallons do they use in a non-leap year?
- A. 4,120 gallons
- B. 4,380 gallons
- C. 3,840 gallons
- D. 4,350 gallons
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To determine the total gallons the family uses in a non-leap year, you have to multiply the daily consumption by the number of days in a non-leap year. So, 12 gallons/day x 365 days = 4,380 gallons used per year. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A is incorrect as it provides an inaccurate total by not considering the total days in a year. Choice C is incorrect as it offers a lower value due to not multiplying the daily usage by the total days in a year. Choice D is incorrect as it doesn't accurately calculate the total gallons used in a non-leap year.
3. If he left a tip of $36 on a total bill of $200, what percentage of the total bill did he leave as a tip?
- A. 16%
- B. 18%
- C. 20%
- D. 22%
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To determine the tip percentage left, divide the tip amount ($36) by the total bill amount ($200), then multiply the result by 100 to express it as a percentage: (36/200) x 100 = 18%. Therefore, he left an 18% tip on the total bill amount. Choice A (16%) is incorrect because the correct calculation results in 18%. Choice C (20%) and Choice D (22%) are incorrect as they do not match the calculated percentage based on the provided numbers.
4. Convert this military time to regular time: 0705 hours.
- A. 7:05 A.M.
- B. 7:05 P.M.
- C. 5:07 A.M.
- D. 5:07 P.M.
Correct answer: A
Rationale: In military time, 0705 hours translates to 7:05 A.M. Military time follows a 24-hour clock format, so there is no change from A.M. to P.M. like in regular time. Choice B (7:05 P.M.) is incorrect as 0705 hours is in the morning. Choices C (5:07 A.M.) and D (5:07 P.M.) are incorrect due to the incorrect order of hours and minutes.
5. How many ounces are in 8 & 1/4 pints?
- A. 136 oz
- B. 128 oz
- C. 132 oz
- D. 130 oz
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To convert 8 1/4 pints to ounces, first convert the mixed number to an improper fraction: 8 1/4 = 33/4. There are 16 ounces in 1 pint. Now, multiply 33/4 by 16 ounces per pint: 33/4 x 16 = 132 ounces. Therefore, the correct answer is 132 oz. Choice A (136 oz) is incorrect because it does not result from the correct conversion. Choice B (128 oz) is incorrect as it is a miscalculation. Choice D (130 oz) is incorrect as well, not derived from the accurate conversion process.
