A woman received a bottle of perfume as a present. The bottle contains ½ oz of perfume. How many milliliters is this?
- A. 10 mL
- B. 15 mL
- C. 20 mL
- D. 25 mL
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert ounces to milliliters, we know that 1 ounce is approximately 30 mL. Therefore, 0.5 ounces would be half of that, which is 15 mL. So, 0.5 oz of perfume is equal to 15 mL. Choice A (10 mL), Choice C (20 mL), and Choice D (25 mL) are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate conversion from ounces to milliliters.

A newborn weighs 8 pounds 5 ounces. There are 453.59 grams per pound. What is the infant's weight in grams?
- A. A. 2268 grams
- B. B. 3629 grams
- C. C. 3770 grams
- D. D. 3856 grams
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert pounds and ounces to grams:
8 pounds = 8 453.59 = 3,628.72 grams.
5 ounces = (5 · 16) 453.59 = 141.75 grams.
Total weight = 3,628.72 + 141.75 = 3,629 grams (rounded).
Therefore, the infant's weight is approximately 3,629 grams.
Choice A, 2268 grams, is incorrect as it does not account for the weight in ounces.
Choice C, 3770 grams, is incorrect as it is not the accurate converted weight.
Choice D, 3856 grams, is incorrect as it does not consider the conversion of ounces to grams.
What temperature in Fahrenheit is 50°C? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is necessary, round to the nearest whole number.)
- A. 110°F
- B. 122°F
- C. 130°F
- D. 140°F
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit, use the formula: F = (C 9/5) + 32. Substituting 50°C: F = (50 9/5) + 32 = 122°F. Therefore, 50°C is approximately 122°F. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the accurate conversion of 50°C to Fahrenheit.
Convert the percentage to a decimal: 38%
- A. 3.8
- B. 0.38
- C. 0.038
- D. 38.0
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert a percentage to a decimal, you divide the percentage by 100. Therefore, 38% as a decimal is 0.38 (38 · 100 = 0.38). Choice A, 3.8, is incorrect as it is equivalent to 380%. Choice C, 0.038, is incorrect as it represents 3.8%. Choice D, 38.0, is incorrect as it is still in percentage form.
Convert the decimal to a percent: 0.000026
- A. 0.0026%
- B. 0.026%
- C. 2.6%
- D. 26%
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percent, you multiply by 100. In this case, 0.000026 * 100 = 0.0026%. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 0.0026%. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they incorrectly place the decimal point, resulting in percentages that are too large.
Round to the nearest whole number. Change the fraction to a percent: 17/80 =
- A. 20%
- B. 21%
- C. 22%
- D. 23%
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert 17/80 to a percent, we divide 17 by 80 to get 0.2125. Multiplying by 100, we get 21.25%. Rounding to the nearest whole number, 21.25% becomes 21%. Choice A (20%) is incorrect because rounding 21.25% down to the nearest whole number gives 21%. Choice C (22%) is incorrect as it is the next whole number after 21. Choice D (23%) is incorrect as it is more than 21.25% and thus rounds up to 22%.
