Question 1 of 5

What is the product of 375 and 2.3?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the product of 375 and 2.3, multiply them: 375 2.3 = 862.5. When multiplying by 2.3, it is important to shift the decimal point appropriately after performing the calculation. Choice A, 862.5, is the correct answer. Choice B, 750, is incorrect because it is the result of multiplying 375 by 2. Choice C, 225.75, is incorrect as it appears to be the result of multiplying the numbers in the wrong order. Choice D, 1125, is incorrect as it seems to be the result of multiplying 375 by 3 instead of 2.3.

Question 2 of 5

Round to the nearest whole number. Change the fraction to a percent: 17/80 =

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%.

Question 3 of 5

How many ounces are in 2 quarts?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To convert quarts to ounces, you need to multiply by 32 (1 quart = 32 ounces). Therefore, 2 quarts x 32 ounces/quart = 64 ounces. Hence, there are 64 ounces in 2 quarts. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct conversion factor from quarts to ounces.

Question 4 of 5

What is the total perimeter of a playground fence that has a rectangular section (5m by 3m) attached to a semicircular section with a radius of 2m?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To find the total perimeter, we first calculate the perimeter of the semicircle, which is half of a full circle, so the formula is π * radius. For the semicircle with a radius of 2m, the perimeter is approximately 3.14 * 2m = 6.28m. Next, we calculate the perimeter of the rectangular section by adding twice the length and twice the width (2 * length + 2 * width). For the rectangle with dimensions 5m by 3m, the perimeter is 2 * 5m + 2 * 3m = 10m + 6m = 16m. Finally, we sum the perimeters of the semicircle and the rectangle to get the total perimeter: 6.28m + 16m = 22.28m. Rounding to the nearest meter, the total perimeter is approximately 22m. Therefore, the correct answer is 22m. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not accurately calculate the total perimeter of the playground fence.

Question 5 of 5

Roger's car gets an average of 25 miles per gallon. If his gas tank holds 16 gallons, how far can he drive on a full tank?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To calculate the distance Roger can drive on a full tank, multiply the number of gallons in his tank by the average miles per gallon his car gets. 16 gallons x 25 miles per gallon = 400 miles. Therefore, Roger can drive 400 miles on a full tank. Choice A (41 miles) is incorrect as it does not consider the tank's full capacity. Choice B (100 miles) is incorrect as it does not account for the full tank's capacity and the average miles per gallon. Choice D (320 miles) is incorrect as it miscalculates the total distance based on the given information.
