1. 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.

2. How many ounces are in a ton?

• A. 32,000 ounces
• B. 30,000 ounces
• C. 35,000 ounces
• D. 40,000 ounces

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 32,000 ounces. A ton is equivalent to 2,000 pounds. Since each pound contains 16 ounces, you can calculate the total number of ounces in a ton by multiplying 2,000 pounds by 16 ounces, which equals 32,000 ounces. Choice B (30,000 ounces), Choice C (35,000 ounces), and Choice D (40,000 ounces) are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the number of ounces in a ton based on the conversion of pounds to ounces.

3. Convert 2 teaspoons to milliliters.

• A. 4.3 milliliters
• B. 9 milliliters
• C. 9.86 milliliters
• D. 4 milliliters

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert teaspoons to milliliters, we use the conversion factor of 1 teaspoon = approximately 4.93 milliliters. Multiplying 2 teaspoons by 4.93 gives us 9.86 milliliters. Therefore, the correct answer is 9.86 milliliters. Choice A (4.3 milliliters) is incorrect as it doesn't align with the conversion factor. Choice B (9 milliliters) is incorrect because it doesn't consider the precise conversion factor. Choice D (4 milliliters) is incorrect as it doesn't account for the accurate conversion from teaspoons to milliliters.

4. Convert this military time to regular time: 1310 hours.

• A. 1:10 A.M.
• B. 1:10 P.M.
• C. 1:31 A.M.
• D. 1:31 P.M.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In military time, 1310 hours is equivalent to 1:10 P.M. However, in regular time, the conversion should have a colon between the hour and minutes, so the correct conversion is 1:31 P.M. Choice A (1:10 A.M.) and Choice C (1:31 A.M.) are incorrect as they both represent A.M. hours, while 1310 hours is in the afternoon (P.M.). Choice B (1:10 P.M.) is incorrect as it represents the hour correctly but lacks the accurate minutes representation.

5. A circular bandage has a diameter of 6cm. What is the area covered by the bandage (area of a circle = πr^2)?

• A. 9Ï€ cm^2
• B. 18Ï€ cm^2
• C. 27Ï€ cm^2
• D. 36Ï€ cm^2

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: - The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle. - The diameter of the circular bandage is 6 cm, so the radius (r) is half of the diameter, which is 6/2 = 3 cm. - Substitute the radius (r = 3 cm) into the formula for the area of a circle: A = π(3)^2 = 9π cm^2. - Therefore, the area covered by the bandage is 9π cm^2.
