1. A worker in a warehouse ships 9 boxes each day. If every box must contain 3 shipping labels, how many shipping labels does the worker need each day?

• A. 24 labels
• B. 27 labels
• C. 20 labels
• D. 30 labels

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the total number of shipping labels needed, multiply the number of boxes by the labels per box: 9 boxes * 3 labels per box = 27 labels. Therefore, the worker needs 27 shipping labels each day. Choice A, 24 labels, is incorrect because it results from multiplying 9 boxes by 3 labels without calculating the correct total. Choice C, 20 labels, is incorrect as it underestimates the total number of labels needed. Choice D, 30 labels, is incorrect as it overestimates the total by multiplying incorrectly.

2. If you have 4 kilograms, how many grams would you have?

• A. 400 grams
• B. 4000 grams
• C. 40 grams
• D. 100 grams

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the metric system, there are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram. To convert kilograms to grams, you multiply the number of kilograms by 1000. Therefore, 4 kilograms would equal 4000 grams. Choice A (400 grams) is incorrect because it is the result of multiplying by 100, not 1000. Choice C (40 grams) is incorrect as it is the result of dividing by 1000 instead of multiplying. Choice D (100 grams) is incorrect as it is a random figure and not the correct conversion from kilograms to grams.

3. Change 0.26 to a fraction.

• A. 7/8
• B. 13/50
• C. 26/100
• D. 1/3

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a fraction, the decimal is written without the decimal point as the numerator. For 0.26, this gives 26. The denominator is based on the place value of the decimal, which is the number of decimal places the decimal has. In this case, 0.26 has two decimal places, so the fraction is 26/100, which simplifies to 13/50. Choice A (7/8) is incorrect as it does not represent 0.26. Choice C (26/100) is also incorrect because it is not in its simplest form. Choice D (1/3) is incorrect as it is not the correct equivalent fraction for 0.26.

4. Convert 2 teaspoons to milliliters.

• A. 4.3 milliliters
• B. 9 milliliters
• C. 9.86 milliliters
• D. 4 milliliters

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert teaspoons to milliliters, we use the conversion factor of 1 teaspoon = approximately 4.93 milliliters. Multiplying 2 teaspoons by 4.93 gives us 9.86 milliliters. Therefore, the correct answer is 9.86 milliliters. Choice A (4.3 milliliters) is incorrect as it doesn't align with the conversion factor. Choice B (9 milliliters) is incorrect because it doesn't consider the precise conversion factor. Choice D (4 milliliters) is incorrect as it doesn't account for the accurate conversion from teaspoons to milliliters.

5. Olivia’s Bakery gives out one extra cupcake for each dozen sold, to make a “baker’s dozen” of 13 in all. How many extra cupcakes does the bakery add to a special order of 180 cupcakes?

• A. 12
• B. 13
• C. 14
• D. 15

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Olivia’s Bakery gives out one extra cupcake for each dozen sold. For a special order of 180 cupcakes, there would be 180 cupcakes ÷ 12 cupcakes per dozen = 15 dozens. Therefore, the bakery adds 15 extra cupcakes to make a 'baker's dozen' of 13 in all for each dozen, resulting in a total of 15 extra cupcakes added to the special order. The correct answer is 13 (choice B) because the bakery adds one extra cupcake to each dozen, making a 'baker's dozen' of 13.
