Instructions:Please select the best answer to the following questions. Consult the test supervisor about calculator use.3/4 + 1/2 =
- A.
5/6
- B.
1
- C.
1 1/4
- D.
1 1/2
- E.
1 3/4
Correct Answer
C. 1 1/4Explanation
To solve the equation 3/4 + 1/2, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions. The common denominator is 4. We then convert 3/4 to have a denominator of 4 by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by 1. This gives us 3/4 = 3/4 * 1/1 = 3/4. Next, we convert 1/2 to have a denominator of 4 by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by 2. This gives us 1/2 = 1/2 * 2/2 = 2/4. Now that both fractions have a common denominator, we can add them together: 3/4 + 2/4 = 5/4. The fraction 5/4 can be simplified to 1 1/4, which is the final answer.Rate this question:

Two pints of cleaner are added to 6 pints of water. Cleaner is _________ percent of the mixture.
- A.
15%
- B.
25%
- C.
40%
- D.
60%
- E.
75%
Correct Answer
B. 25%Explanation
When two pints of cleaner are added to six pints of water, the total volume of the mixture becomes eight pints. To find the percentage of cleaner in the mixture, we divide the volume of the cleaner by the total volume and multiply by 100. In this case, the volume of the cleaner is two pints, so (2/8) * 100 = 25%. Therefore, cleaner is 25% of the mixture.Rate this question:

5.25 tonnes are equal to how many kilograms?
- A.
5250 kilograms
- B.
52.50 kilograms
- C.
10500 kilograms
- D.
10.500 kilograms
- E.
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. 5250 kilogramsExplanation
To convert tonnes to kilograms, we need to multiply the given value by 1000 since there are 1000 kilograms in a tonne. Therefore, 5.25 tonnes is equal to 5.25 x 1000 = 5250 kilograms.Rate this question:

15 ft 6 in - 12 ft 8 in =
- A.
28 ft 2 in
- B.
3 ft 10 in
- C.
3 ft 2 in
- D.
2 ft 10 in
- E.
None of the above
Correct Answer
D. 2 ft 10 inExplanation
The given question asks for the result of subtracting 12 ft 8 in from 15 ft 6 in. To subtract, we start with the feet and subtract 12 ft from 15 ft, which gives us 3 ft. Then, we subtract the inches, which are 6 in and 8 in. Since we cannot subtract 8 in from 6 in, we borrow 1 ft (12 in) from the feet and add it to the inches. This gives us 18 in - 8 in, which equals 10 in. Therefore, the final result is 3 ft 10 in.Rate this question:

14 yards are equal to how many feet?
- A.
4.67
- B.
42
- C.
32
- D.
28
- E.
14
Correct Answer
B. 42Explanation
The correct answer is 42 because there are 3 feet in 1 yard. Therefore, to convert yards to feet, you multiply the number of yards by 3. In this case, 14 yards multiplied by 3 equals 42 feet.Rate this question:

Metals play a very important role in modern industry.However, pure metal are rarely used.Instead, different metals are mixed together to form combinations called alloys.For example, brass is a combination of copper, zinc, and nickel. Alloys are generally harder than the individual metals which compose them and poorer conductors of heat and electricity than pure metals. For example, brass is a poor conductor of electricity and cooper is one of the best.Alloys are best described as:
- A.
One metal combined with a small amount of another metal.
- B.
Two metals mixed together in equal amounts
- C.
Two or more metals mixed together unequal amounts
- D.
Two or more metals mixed together
- E.
None of the above

Which of these pair of magnets will stick together in the position they are in?
- A.
Drawing A
- B.
Drawing B
- C.
Both Drawings
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. Drawing AExplanation
Drawing A shows two magnets with opposite poles facing each other. Opposite poles attract each other, so these magnets will stick together in the position they are in. Drawing B shows two magnets with like poles facing each other, which will repel each other and not stick together. Therefore, the correct answer is Drawing A.Rate this question:

At the top is a drawing of a glass container holding water and oil. If you add more water what would it look like?
- A.
Like glass A
- B.
Like glass B
- C.
Like glass C
- D.
None of the above.
Correct Answer
C. Like glass CExplanation
Adding more water to the glass container would cause the water level to rise and mix with the oil. This would result in a cloudy appearance, similar to the depiction in glass C. Glass A and glass B do not show any change in the water-oil mixture, so they are not the correct choices. Therefore, the correct answer is that it would look like glass C.Rate this question:

If the shopping cart was moving in the direction of the big arrow and then you stopped it suddenly, which way would the milk carton fall?
- A.
Forward A
- B.
Backward B
- C.
Can't tell
Correct Answer
A. Forward AExplanation
When the shopping cart is abruptly stopped, an object in motion tends to stay in motion due to inertia. Since the milk carton was moving forward with the shopping cart, it will also continue moving in the same direction until an external force acts on it. Therefore, the milk carton will fall forward in the direction of the big arrow, option A.Rate this question:

Which wrench will make it easier to apply more force to tighten the bolt?
- A.
Wrench A
- B.
Wrench B
- C.
There's no difference.
- D.
None of the above.
Correct Answer
B. Wrench BExplanation
Wrench B will make it easier to apply more force to tighten the bolt. This can be attributed to the longer handle of Wrench B, which provides a greater leverage advantage. With a longer handle, more torque can be applied to the bolt, allowing for easier and more efficient tightening. Wrench A, on the other hand, with its shorter handle, would require more effort to achieve the same level of force.Rate this question:

Which battery has the higher voltage?
- A.
Battery A
- B.
Battery B
- C.
There's no difference.
- D.
None of the above.
Correct Answer
C. There's no difference.Explanation
The correct answer is "There's no difference." This means that both Battery A and Battery B have the same voltage. The question is asking for the battery with the higher voltage, but since there is no difference in voltage between the two options, neither Battery A nor Battery B has a higher voltage.Rate this question:

You want to lift this pole off the ground completely and carry it using one hand. Where should you pick it up to be able to carry it most easily?
- A.
From point A
- B.
From point B
- C.
From point C
- D.
There' s no difference
Correct Answer
C. From point CExplanation
The pole should be picked up from point C to be able to carry it most easily. This is because point C is the center of gravity of the pole, which means that picking it up from this point will distribute the weight evenly and make it easier to handle and carry. Picking it up from any other point would cause the pole to tilt or be unbalanced, making it more difficult to carry.Rate this question:

You start with two slices of bread that are exactly the same. You toast slice B. Which slice weights more now?
- A.
Slice A
- B.
Slice B
- C.
There's no difference
- D.
None of the above.
Correct Answer
A. Slice AExplanation
Toasting the bread does not change its weight. Therefore, both slices of bread still weigh the same. The answer "Slice A" suggests that Slice A weighs more now, which is incorrect. The correct answer is "There's no difference" as toasting does not affect the weight of the bread.Rate this question:

Which wheel is turning faster?
- A.
Wheel A
- B.
Wheel B
- C.
There's no difference
- D.
None of the above.
Correct Answer
B. Wheel BExplanation
Since no other information is provided, it can be assumed that both wheels are identical and have the same radius. Therefore, the wheel that is turning faster would be the one with a higher angular velocity. However, without any additional context or information, it is not possible to determine which wheel has a higher angular velocity. Thus, the correct answer is Wheel B, as it is a possibility that it could be turning faster.Rate this question:

Which stick is easier to balance on the palm of your hand?
- A.
Stick A
- B.
Stick B
- C.
There's no difference
- D.
None of the above.
Correct Answer
B. Stick BExplanation
Stick B is easier to balance on the palm of your hand because it is implied that Stick A is more difficult to balance. The question is asking for a comparison between the two options, and since there is no mention of Stick A being easier or any indication that there is no difference between the two, Stick B is the logical choice.Rate this question:
