Question 1 of 5
How many pounds are in 160 ounces?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 10 pounds. There are 16 ounces in a pound. To convert 160 ounces to pounds, you need to divide 160 by 16, which equals 10 pounds. Choice B, 8 pounds, is incorrect because it does not account for the correct conversion factor. Choice C, 5 pounds, is incorrect as it is not the result of dividing 160 by 16. Choice D, 12 pounds, is incorrect as it overestimates the conversion.

Question 4 of 5
A die is rolled. What is the probability of getting a 5?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C (16.60%). When rolling a standard 6-sided die, the probability of getting a 5 is 1/6 or approximately 16.6%. Choice A (50%) is incorrect as it represents the probability of getting a specific number on a coin flip, not a die roll. Choice B (20%) is incorrect as it does not reflect the probability of rolling a 5 on a standard die. Choice D (83.30%) is incorrect as it is the complement of the probability of rolling a 5, which is not asked in the question.
Question 5 of 5
If a runner runs 5 miles in 45 minutes, what is their average speed in miles per hour?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find the average speed, first, convert 45 minutes to hours (45/60 = 0.75 hours). Then, divide the distance by the time: 5 miles · 0.75 hours = 6.67 mph. Choice A is correct because it accurately calculates the average speed based on the distance covered and time taken. Choice B is incorrect as it does not consider the time taken to cover the distance. Choice C is incorrect as it is higher than the calculated speed. Choice D is incorrect as it is higher and does not match the calculated average speed.
