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 pounds are in 128 ounces?

• A. 16 pounds
• B. 10 pounds
• C. 12 pounds
• D. 8 pounds

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 8 pounds. There are 16 ounces in a pound. To convert 128 ounces to pounds, you divide 128 by 16, which equals 8 pounds. Choice A, 16 pounds, is incorrect because that would be the conversion the other way around, from pounds to ounces. Choices B and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct conversion from ounces to pounds.

3. If the outside temperature is currently 15 degrees on the Celsius scale, what is the approximate temperature on the Fahrenheit scale?

• A. 59°F
• B. 61°F
• C. 63.5°F
• D. 65.2°F

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the formula: (°C × 9/5) + 32 = °F. Substituting 15°C into the formula gives us (15 × 9/5) + 32 = 59°F. Therefore, the approximate temperature on the Fahrenheit scale for 15 degrees Celsius is 59 degrees Fahrenheit. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the correct conversion formula and calculation.

4. What is the result of adding 1/4 + 3/8?

• A. 5/8
• B. 7/12
• C. 2/3
• D. 1/2

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add fractions with different denominators, find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator of 4 and 8 is 8. Convert 1/4 to 2/8, then add it to 3/8. The sum is 5/8. Choice B (7/12) is incorrect as it is the result of adding 1/3 + 1/4. Choice C (2/3) is incorrect as it is the result of adding 3/8 + 1/4. Choice D (1/2) is incorrect as it is the result of adding 1/4 + 1/4.

5. Subtract 12 - 7 4\5.

• A. 5 1\5
• B. 5 2\5
• C. 4 5\6
• D. 3 1\3

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Subtract the whole numbers and then subtract the fractions: 12 - 7 4\5 = 5 1\5.
