1. What is the average of the numbers 14, 73, and 7?

• A. 28.57
• B. 30.57
• C. 29.56
• D. 31.33

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. Adding 14 + 73 + 7 gives a total of 94. To find the average, we divide the sum by the number of values (3), which equals 31.33. Rounding this average to two decimal places gives us 31.33, which corresponds to option D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the average of the given numbers. Choice A is close to the sum of the numbers, not the average. Choices B and C are also not correct averages calculated from the provided numbers.

2. How many pounds are there in 8 kilograms?

• A. 3.6 pounds
• B. 16 pounds
• C. 16.6 pounds
• D. 17.6 pounds

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert kilograms to pounds, you multiply the number of kilograms by 2.20462. Therefore, 8 kilograms is equal to 8 x 2.20462 = 17.63696 pounds, which can be rounded to 16 pounds. Choice A is incorrect as it is not the correct conversion. Choice C is close to the correct answer but slightly higher. Choice D is incorrect as it is higher than the correct conversion.

3. A teacher's aide is preparing a snack for the class. In order to prepare the powdered drink, the aide must convert the directions to metric. The directions say, 'Dilute contents of package in 3 quarts of water.' The aide has a measuring device marked in liters. How many liters of water should be used?

• A. 3.0 liters
• B. 2.8 liters
• C. 2.5 liters
• D. 3.5 liters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: 3 quarts is approximately 2.8 liters. To convert quarts to liters, multiply the number of quarts by 0.946353. Therefore, the correct answer is 2.8 liters. Choice A (3.0 liters) is incorrect as it does not accurately convert 3 quarts to liters. Choice C (2.5 liters) is incorrect as it is less than the correct conversion. Choice D (3.5 liters) is incorrect as it is more than the correct conversion.

4. Subtract 12 - 7 & 4\5.

• A. 4 & 4\5
• B. 5 & 4\5
• C. 4 & 1\5
• D. 5 & 1\5

Correct answer: C

Rationale: 12 - 7 & 4\5 equals 4 & 1\5.

5. Solve for x: 3x + 2 = 14

• A. x = 4
• B. x = 2
• C. x = 6
• D. x = 3

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve the equation 3x + 2 = 14, first, subtract 2 from both sides to isolate 3x: 3x = 12. Then, divide by 3 to solve for x: x = 4. Therefore, the correct answer is A, x = 4. Choice B, x = 2, is incorrect because it does not satisfy the equation. Choice C, x = 6, is incorrect as well since it does not satisfy the equation. Choice D, x = 3, is also incorrect as it does not satisfy the given equation.
