1. Write the date 1776 in Roman numerals.

• A. MDCCLXXVI
• B. MDDLXXI
• C. MCCDLXVI
• D. MCMLXXVI

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In Roman numerals, 1776 is correctly written as MDCCLXXVI. Here's the breakdown: M (1000) + D (500) + CCC (300) + L (50) + XX (20) + VI (6) = 1776. Therefore, the correct Roman numeral representation of the date 1776 is MDCCLXXVI. Choice A is correct because it follows the correct Roman numeral rules for representing 1776. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not add up to 1776 according to Roman numeral conventions.

2. A roast was cooked at 325°F in the oven for 4 hours. The internal temperature rose from 32°F to 145°F. What was the average rise in temperature per hour?

• A. 20
• B. 32
• C. 28
• D. 37°F/hr

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The temperature increased from 32°F to 145°F, resulting in a total increase of 145°F - 32°F = 113°F. Dividing this total increase by the 4 hours of cooking time gives an average rise of 113°F ÷ 4 = 28.25°F per hour, which can be rounded to 28°F per hour. Therefore, the correct answer is 28. Choice A (20) is incorrect because it does not reflect the actual average rise in temperature per hour. Choice B (32) is incorrect as it does not consider the total temperature increase and divide it by the total hours. Choice D (37°F/hr) is incorrect as it does not match the calculated average rise in temperature per hour.

3. What is the perimeter of a square with a side length of 5 meters?

• A. 15 meters
• B. 20 meters
• C. 25 meters
• D. 30 meters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The formula to calculate the perimeter of a square is P = 4s, where P is the perimeter and s is the length of a side. Given that the side length is 5 meters, the perimeter is 4 * 5 = 20 meters. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choices A (15 meters), C (25 meters), and D (30 meters) are incorrect as they do not correctly apply the formula to calculate the perimeter of a square.

4. How many milliliters are in 3 liters?

• A. 300 milliliters
• B. 3000 milliliters
• C. 1500 milliliters
• D. 300 milliliters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 3000 milliliters. There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 3 liters = 3 × 1,000 = 3,000 milliliters. Choice A (300 milliliters) is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 0.3 liters, not 3 liters. Choice C (1500 milliliters) is incorrect as it is halfway between the correct answer and a common mistake of confusing liters with milliliters. Choice D (300 milliliters) is incorrect as it is the conversion of 0.3 liters, not 3 liters.

5. Rectangle: A picture frame measures 15cm by 20cm. What is its perimeter?

• A. 30cm
• B. 55cm
• C. 65cm
• D. 75cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you add the lengths of all sides. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2 * (length + width). In this case, the length is 15cm and the width is 20cm. Therefore, the perimeter = 2 * (15cm + 20cm) = 65cm. Choice A (30cm), Choice B (55cm), and Choice D (75cm) are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the perimeter of the given rectangle.
