1. 7 is divisible by which of the following numbers?

• A. 2 only
• B. 3 only
• C. 1 and 7 only
• D. 2, 3, and 7

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: 1. 7 is divisible by 1 because every number is divisible by 1. 2. 7 is divisible by 7 because any number is divisible by itself. 3. 7 is not divisible by 2 because 7 is an odd number and not divisible by 2. 4. 7 is not divisible by 3 because the sum of the digits of 7 (7) is not divisible by 3. Therefore, 7 is divisible by 1, 7, and itself (7), making the correct answer D) 2, 3, and 7.

2. The least common multiple (LCM) of two numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple of both. Which of the following represents the LCM of 14 and 21?

• A. 42
• B. 63
• C. 84
• D. 168

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: To find the least common multiple (LCM) of 14 and 21, we need to determine the smallest number that is a multiple of both 14 and 21. First, list the multiples of 14: 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84, ... Next, list the multiples of 21: 21, 42, 63, 84, ... The smallest number that appears in both lists is 42. Therefore, the LCM of 14 and 21 is 42.

3. How many grams are in 4 kilograms?

• A. 4000 grams
• B. 3000 grams
• C. 4500 grams
• D. 3500 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 4000 grams. To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply the number of kilograms by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram. Therefore, 4 kilograms is equal to 4 x 1000 = 4000 grams. Choice B (3000 grams), C (4500 grams), and D (3500 grams) are incorrect as they do not correctly convert 4 kilograms into grams.

4. A train leaves the station at 1:45 PM traveling at a constant speed of 65 mph. If it arrives at its destination at 3:15 PM, how many miles did it travel?

• A. 97.5 miles
• B. 100 miles
• C. 95 miles
• D. 105 miles

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the distance traveled by the train, multiply the speed (65 mph) by the time it took to reach the destination, which is 1.5 hours (3:15 PM - 1:45 PM = 1.5 hours). Therefore, 65 mph × 1.5 hours = 97.5 miles. This calculation is correct because distance = speed × time. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given information.

5. If a person can type 45 words per minute, how many words can they type in 20 minutes?

• A. 800 words
• B. 850 words
• C. 900 words
• D. 750 words

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find out how many words a person can type in 20 minutes at a speed of 45 words per minute, you multiply the typing speed (45 words/minute) by the duration (20 minutes): 45 words/minute x 20 minutes = 900 words. Hence, the correct answer is 900 words. Choice A (800 words) is incorrect because it results from multiplying 45 words per minute by 18 minutes, not 20. Choice B (850 words) is incorrect as it is not the product of 45 words per minute and 20 minutes. Choice D (750 words) is incorrect because it is the outcome of multiplying 45 words per minute by 15 minutes, not 20.
