SHORT ANSWER. Write the word or phrase that best completes each statement or answers the question.

Decide whether the statement makes sense. Explain your reasoning.

1) I drove really far, almost 200 kilometers per hour.
Answer: Does not make sense. Kilometers per hour are a unit of speed, not distance. If you drive fast but only
for a short period of time, you will not go far. (Explanations will vary.)

2) We will need 1800 cubic feet of carpeting to cover the floors in our three-story house.
Answer: Does not make sense. Carpeting covers the area of the floors, not volume. (Indeed, if it covered the
volume of the rooms, there wouldn't be any space left for people or furniture.) Cubic feet are a
measure of volume, not area. (Explanations will vary.)

3) The boat leaked and started filling with water. There must be 50 gallons of water in it already.
Answer: Makes sense. Gallons are a measure of volume and, depending on the size of the boat, 50 gallons
could be a reasonable quantity of water. (Explanations will vary.)

4) I donated 64 fluid ounces of blood today.

Answer: Does not make sense. The units are fine, but 64 fluid ounces are equivalent to 4 pints. A typical
blood donation is one pint; donating four pints would be dangerous. (Explanations will vary.)

5) I got pulled over by a police officer for speeding. I was going 150 kiloliters per second.
Answer: Does not make sense. Kiloliters are a unit of volume, and speed is measured in units of distance
divided by time. (Explanations will vary.)

6) The container was big enough to hold a barrel of water, but it wasn't big enough to hold a barrel of petroleum.
Answer: Makes sense. A barrel of liquid and a barrel of petroleum are two distinct measures of volume. A
barrel of liquid, such as water, is 31 gallons, but a barrel of petroleum is 42 gallons. If the container
were 31-41 gallons, it could hold a barrel of water but not a barrel of petroleum. (Explanations will
vary.)

7) To convert from Kelvin to Celsius, you subtract 273.15. For example, -100 K = -373.15 °C.
Answer: Does not make sense. The general formula is correct, but the numbers don't make sense. A
temperature of
0 K is the coldest possible temperature, known as absolute zero. A temperature of -100 K is
theoretically impossible. (Explanations will vary.)

MULTIPLE CHOICE. Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the

question. Evaluate.
