1. A syringe holds 3ml of liquid. How many syringes are needed to measure 15ml of liquid?

• A. 3
• B. 5
• C. 7
• D. 9

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Since each syringe holds 3ml of liquid, to measure 15ml of liquid, you would need to divide 15ml by 3ml/syringe. This calculation gives you 5 syringes needed to measure 15ml of liquid. Choice A (3 syringes) is incorrect because 3 syringes would only hold 9ml of liquid, not 15ml. Choice C (7 syringes) and Choice D (9 syringes) are incorrect as they would result in an excess amount of liquid, which is not needed.

2. Donna has 4.2 liters of fertilizer. If each pecan tree needs 0.7 liters of fertilizer and Donna uses all the fertilizer, how many pecan trees does Donna have?

• A. 6 trees
• B. 8 trees
• C. 5 trees
• D. 4 trees

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the number of trees, divide the total amount of fertilizer (4.2 liters) by the amount needed for each tree (0.7 liters). 4.2 / 0.7 = 6 trees. Therefore, Donna has 6 pecan trees. Choice A is correct because the calculation is done accurately. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given information.

3. How many digits are in the Hindu-Arabic numeral system?

• A. Two
• B. Ten
• C. Twelve
• D. Twenty

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The Hindu-Arabic numeral system consists of ten digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. These ten digits are used as the fundamental symbols to represent numbers in this numerical system. Choice A, 'Two,' is incorrect as there are more than two digits in the system. Choice C, 'Twelve,' is incorrect as it exceeds the total number of digits in the system. Choice D, 'Twenty,' is incorrect as it overestimates the number of digits present in the Hindu-Arabic numeral system.

4. Write the date 2007 in Roman numerals.

• A. MMVII
• B. MDVII
• C. MMDII
• D. MMXD

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In Roman numerals, the date 2007 is correctly represented as MMVII. The Roman numeral M stands for 1000, and when repeated twice (MM), it represents 2000. The Roman numeral V represents 5, and when followed by II (two ones), it correctly represents 2007. Choice B (MDVII) is incorrect because D represents 500, and 2007 is greater than that. Choice C (MMDII) is incorrect because D represents 500, and there are two of them, making it 1000, not 2000. Choice D (MMXD) is incorrect as XD is an invalid Roman numeral combination.

5. Multiply 4/9 x 1 & 4/5 x 2/5.

• A. 15
• B. 7/16
• C. 8/25
• D. 19

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. Calculating 4/9 x 1 & 4/5 x 2/5 gives you (4 x 1) / (9 x 1) & (4 x 2) / (5 x 5) = 4/9 & 8/25. Therefore, the correct answer is 8/25. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not result from the correct multiplication of the fractions provided.
