Question 1 of 5

A train leaves the station at 1:45 PM traveling at a constant speed of 65 mph. If it arrives at its destination at 3:15 PM, how many miles did it travel?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the distance traveled by the train, multiply the speed (65 mph) by the time it took to reach the destination, which is 1.5 hours (3:15 PM - 1:45 PM = 1.5 hours). Therefore, 65 mph 1.5 hours = 97.5 miles. This calculation is correct because distance = speed time. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given information.

Question 2 of 5

How many liters are in 2500 milliliters?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 2.5 liters. There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. To convert 2,500 milliliters to liters, you need to divide by 1,000: 2,500 / 1,000 = 2.5 liters. Choice B (1.5 liters) is incorrect because it miscalculates the conversion. Choice C (3.5 liters) is incorrect as it overestimates the conversion. Choice D (0.25 liters) is incorrect as it underestimates the conversion. Therefore, the correct conversion is 2.5 liters.

Question 3 of 5

A man can type 45 words per minute. How many words can he type in 20 minutes?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To calculate the total number of words typed in 20 minutes, multiply the typing speed per minute (45 words) by the duration in minutes (20 minutes): 45 words/min 20 min = 900 words. Therefore, the correct answer is 900 words. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the accurate calculation based on the given information.

Question 5 of 5

Subtract 15 3/4 - 8 2/5.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To subtract mixed numbers, find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 20. Convert 15 3/4 to 15 15/20. Then, subtract 15 15/20 - 8 8/20 = 7 7/20. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B is incorrect as it does not match the result of the subtraction. Choice C is incorrect as it is not the result of the subtraction. Choice D is incorrect as it represents the second number being subtracted, not the result of the subtraction.
