1. 4.67 miles is equivalent to how many kilometers to three significant digits?

• A. 7.514 km
• B. 7.51 km
• C. 2.90 km
• D. 2.902 km

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert miles to kilometers, we use the conversion factor of 1 mile ≈ 1.60934 km. Therefore, 4.67 miles * 1.60934 km/mile = 7.514 km. When rounded to three significant digits, the answer is 7.51 km. Choice A of 7.514 km is the correct conversion, but the question asked for the answer to be rounded to three significant digits, making choice B, 7.51 km, the most precise and correct option. Choices C and D are incorrect conversions and do not match the correct conversion of 4.67 miles to kilometers.

2. Two boxes are stacked, one measuring 4 inches tall and the other 6 inches tall. What is the total height of the stacked boxes?

• A. 10 inches
• B. 12 inches
• C. 8 inches
• D. 9 inches

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the total height of the stacked boxes, you need to add the height of each box together. Therefore, 4 inches (height of the first box) + 6 inches (height of the second box) = 10 inches, which is the total height of the stacked boxes. Choice B (12 inches) is incorrect because it adds the heights incorrectly. Choice C (8 inches) is incorrect as it does not consider both box heights. Choice D (9 inches) is incorrect as it also does not add the heights accurately.

3. Susan bought a dress for $69.99, shoes for $39.99, and accessories for $34.67. What was the total cost of her outfit?

• A. 139.65
• B. 144.65
• C. 145.55
• D. 144.65

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the total cost of Susan's outfit, you need to add the prices of the dress, shoes, and accessories together. $69.99 + $39.99 + $34.67 = $144.65. Therefore, the correct total cost of her outfit is $144.65. Choice A ($139.65) is incorrect as it does not account for the full cost of all items. Choice C ($145.55) is incorrect as it includes an extra amount not part of the given prices. Choice D ($144.65) is incorrect due to a duplication of the correct answer.

4. If 𝑛 = 8, then n is between which of the following ranges?

• A. 5 and 7
• B. 7 and 9
• C. 9 and 11
• D. 3 and 5

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the range where n lies when n = 8, we consider numbers greater and lesser than 8. The range would be between 7 and 9, not 9 and 11 as stated in the original rationale. Option A (5 and 7) and Option D (3 and 5) are lower ranges, while Option C (9 and 11) exceeds the upper limit.

5. Which of the following weights is equivalent to 3.193 kilograms?

• A. 3,193,000 grams
• B. 3,193 grams
• C. 319.3 grams
• D. 0.003193 grams

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to remember that 1 kilogram is equal to 1,000 grams. Therefore, 3.193 kilograms is equivalent to 3,193 grams (3.193 kg * 1,000 g/kg = 3,193 g). Choice A (3,193,000 grams) incorrectly converts kilograms to milligrams, Choice C (319.3 grams) incorrectly moves the decimal point one place to the right, and Choice D (0.003193 grams) incorrectly converts kilograms to milligrams and then further to grams.
