If there are 128 ounces in 1 gallon, how many ounces are in 2.5 gallons?
- A. 256 ounces
- B. 320 ounces
- C. 400 ounces
- D. 250 ounces
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find the total number of ounces in 2.5 gallons, multiply the number of gallons by the number of ounces per gallon: 2.5 gallons 128 ounces/gallon = 320 ounces. The correct answer is 320 ounces. Choice C (400 ounces) is incorrect because multiplying 2.5 by 128 gives 320, not 400. Choice D (250 ounces) is also incorrect as it seems to be a miscalculation.

A decorative box has a rectangular base (20cm by 15cm) and a hemispherical top with the same diameter as the base. What is the total surface area of the box (excluding the base)?
- A. 825 sq cm
- B. 1075 sq cm
- C. 1325 sq cm
- D. 1575 sq cm
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To find the total surface area of the box excluding the base, calculate the lateral surface area of the rectangular base and the surface area of the hemisphere. The lateral surface area of the rectangular base is 2(20cm x 15cm) = 600 sq cm. The surface area of the hemisphere is 2πr^2, where r is half the diameter of the base, so r = 10cm. Thus, the surface area of the hemisphere is 2π(10cm)^2 = 200π sq cm ≈ 628.32 sq cm. Add the lateral surface area of the base and the surface area of the hemisphere: 600 sq cm + 628.32 sq cm ≈ 1228.32 sq cm. Therefore, the total surface area of the box is approximately 1228.32 sq cm, which is closest to 1325 sq cm (Choice C). Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the accurate calculation of the total surface area of the box.
How many ounces are in 3 5/8 quarts?
- A. 184 oz
- B. 132 oz
- C. 128 oz
- D. 320 oz
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert quarts to ounces, we need to know that 1 quart is equal to 32 ounces. To find out how many ounces are in 3 5/8 quarts, we multiply 3 quarts by 32 (96) and add the equivalent of 5/8 of a quart, which is 16 ounces (32 * 5/8 = 16). Adding these together gives us a total of 112 ounces. Therefore, the correct answer is 184 ounces. Choice B (132 oz) is incorrect as it does not account for the additional 16 ounces from the 5/8 of a quart. Choice C (128 oz) is incorrect as it miscalculates the total number of ounces. Choice D (320 oz) is incorrect as it incorrectly multiplies 3.625 by 32, which is not the correct way to convert quarts to ounces.
A train travels at a constant speed of 60 mph for 2 hours. How many miles did the train travel?
- A. 120 miles
- B. 180 miles
- C. 100 miles
- D. 240 miles
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To determine the distance traveled by the train, you multiply the speed by the time: 60 mph 2 hours = 120 miles. Therefore, the correct answer is 120 miles. Choice B, 180 miles, is incorrect as it results from multiplying the speed by 3 hours instead of 2. Choice C, 100 miles, is incorrect as it results from multiplying the speed by 1.5 hours. Choice D, 240 miles, is incorrect as it results from multiplying the speed by 4 hours instead of 2.
How many grams are in 7 kilograms?
- A. 7000 grams
- B. 70 grams
- C. 700 grams
- D. 70,000 grams
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 7 kilograms is equal to 7 x 1,000 = 7,000 grams. The correct answer is 7000 grams. Choice B (70 grams) is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 7 kilograms to grams without considering the correct multiplier. Choice C (700 grams) is incorrect as it is a tenth of the correct conversion. Choice D (70,000 grams) is incorrect as it is ten times the correct conversion.
What is the probability of rolling a 5 on a six-sided die?
- A. 1/6
- B. 1/4
- C. 1/2
- D. 1/3
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The probability of rolling a specific number on a fair six-sided die is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes (1 in this case, as there is one '5' on the die) by the total number of possible outcomes (6 for a six-sided die), resulting in a probability of 1/6. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the probability of rolling a 5 on a six-sided die. Option B (1/4) is incorrect because it represents the probability of rolling a specific number on a four-sided die. Option C (1/2) and Option D (1/3) are incorrect as they do not match the probability calculation for rolling a 5 on a six-sided die.
