How many ounces are there in a gallon.
a. 32
b.64
c.128
D. 1/4 - correct answer-Use dimensional analysis to convert from gallons to ounces.
* 1 gallon=4 quarts
*1 quart = 2 pints
* 1 pint= 2 cups
* 1 cup = 8 ounces
(1gallon)*4 quarts *2 pints * 2 cups * 8ounces
1 gallon 1 quart 1 pint 1 cup = 128 ounces
What Is 70% of 65
A. 45.5
B. 50.5
C. 65
D. 110.5 - correct answer-recall that
Part = %
Whole 100
Substitute given values and solve for the unknown
X = 70 X =45.5
65 100
Alternatively, directly multiply 65 by 0.7 will yield the same result.
For a recipe, there are three(3) eggs needed for every pound of cake needed. How
many pounds of cake can be made if there are 40 eggs.
A. 12
B. 13
C. 14
D. 15 - correct answer-Write a proportion to represent the situation:
3 eggs = 40 eggs
1 cake X cakes
cross multiply and solve the variable X:
3x = 40 x = 13 1/3
Only 13 pounds of cake can be made.
Evaluate:
x4-y if X=3 and Y = 20
, A. 61
B. 65
C. -8
D. -10 - correct answer-Substitute the values of X and Y into the given equation and
evaluate.
= 3 X 3X 3 X3 - (20)
= 81- 20
= 61
Subtract: 1001-99
A. 900
B. 902
C. 999
D. 1,000 - correct answer-Count up from 99 to 100 (+1) and from 100 to 1001 (+901).
the answer is the sum of 901 and 1. 1001-99=902
Add: 9.43 t 11.3 =
A. 21.73
B. 10.7
C. 20.73
D. 25.85 - correct answer-Vertically align the numbers so that the decimals are on top of
each other.

How many millimeters are there in 5 meters.
A. 500
B. 5,000
C. 50,000
D. 500.00 - correct answer-The prefix *milli- means 1,000. There are 1,000 millimeters
in 1 meter, so there are 5,000 millimeters in 5 meters. Alternatively, use dimensional
analysis to convert
( 5 meters) * 100 cm * 10 mm = 5000 cm
1 meter 1 cm
