1. A sign stating 'Do Not Enter' is in the shape of a square with side lengths of 75 centimeters. What is the area in square centimeters?

• A. 150
• B. 300
• C. 5,325
• D. 5,625

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The formula for the area of a square is given by the square of its side length: Area = side × side. For this problem, the side length of the square is 75 centimeters. To find the area, you multiply 75 by itself: 75 × 75 = 5,625 square centimeters. Thus, the area of the square is 5,625 cm². This shows that option D is correct. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not correspond to the correct calculation of the area of a square with a side length of 75 centimeters.

2. What is any number raised to the power of zero?

• A. One
• B. Itself
• C. Zero
• D. Two

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: One. Any number raised to the power of zero is always equal to 1. This is a fundamental property of exponentiation. Choice B, 'Itself,' is vague and does not specify a numerical value. Choice C, 'Zero,' is incorrect as any nonzero number raised to the power of zero is 1, not 0. Choice D, 'Two,' is incorrect as any number raised to the power of zero is 1, not 2.

3. The value of 6 x 12 is the same as:

• A. 2 x 4 x 4 x 2
• B. 7 x 4 x 3
• C. 6 x 6 x 3
• D. 3 x 3 x 4 x 2

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the value of 6 x 12, we multiply 6 by 12, which equals 72. A: 2 x 4 x 4 x 2 = 32 B: 7 x 4 x 3 = 84 C: 6 x 6 x 3 = 108 D: 3 x 3 x 4 x 2 = 72 Therefore, the correct answer is A, as the product of 2 x 4 x 4 x 2 equals 32, which is the same as 6 x 12.

4. How many millimeters are in a meter?

• A. 100 mm
• B. 1,000 mm
• C. 10,000 mm
• D. 100,000 mm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 1,000 mm. This is because there are 1,000 millimeters in a meter. To convert from meters to millimeters, you need to multiply by 1,000. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. A meter is equivalent to 1,000 millimeters, not 100 (A), 10,000 (C), or 100,000 (D) millimeters.

5. In a study where 60% of respondents use smartphones to check their email, and 5,000 respondents were included, how many respondents use smartphones for email?

• A. 3,000 respondents
• B. 2,500 respondents
• C. 5,000 respondents
• D. 1,000 respondents

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In the study, 60% of 5,000 respondents using smartphones for email would equal 3,000 respondents, not the total number of respondents. Therefore, the correct answer is 3,000 respondents. Choice B, 2,500 respondents, is incorrect because it doesn't consider the percentage of smartphone users. Choice C, 5,000 respondents, is incorrect as it represents the total number of respondents, not the specific number using smartphones for email. Choice D, 1,000 respondents, is incorrect as it is not the correct calculation based on the given information.
