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. A lampshade is shaped like a frustum of a cone, with base diameters of 20cm and 10cm and a height of 15cm. What is its volume?

• A. 625 cu cm
• B. 1250 cu cm
• C. 1875 cu cm
• D. 2500 cu cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the volume of the frustum of a cone, divide it into two cones and calculate their volumes separately. The formula for the volume of a cone frustum involves the radii of both bases and the height. The volume of the frustum cone can be calculated as V = 1/3 * π * h * (R^2 + r^2 + R * r), where R is the larger radius, r is the smaller radius, and h is the height. Substituting the values, V = 1/3 * π * 15 * (10^2 + 20*10 + 20^2) = 1875 cu cm. Therefore, the correct answer is 1875 cu cm. Choice A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not correspond to the correct calculation of the frustum's volume.

3. How many grams are in 7 kilograms?

• A. 7000 grams
• B. 70 grams
• C. 700 grams
• D. 70,000 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 7 kilograms is equal to 7 x 1,000 = 7,000 grams. The correct answer is 7000 grams. Choice B (70 grams) is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 7 kilograms to grams without considering the correct multiplier. Choice C (700 grams) is incorrect as it is a tenth of the correct conversion. Choice D (70,000 grams) is incorrect as it is ten times the correct conversion.

4. If the regular price of a bar is $2.50, how much do you save per bar if you purchase a value pack of 8 bars for $20?

• A. 15¢
• B. 40¢
• C. 75¢
• D. $1.20

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To determine how much you save per bar when buying a value pack of 8 bars for $20, calculate the individual price per bar by dividing the total price by the number of bars: $20 ÷ 8 = $2.50 per bar. When the pack price is lower than the individual price, you save money. The saving per bar is found by subtracting the pack price from the individual price: $2.50 (individual price) - $2.50 (pack price) = $0.40. Therefore, you save 40 cents per bar by purchasing the value pack. Choice A, 15¢, is incorrect because the actual saving is $0.40. Choice C, 75¢, is incorrect as it doesn't match the calculated saving. Choice D, $1.20, is incorrect as it is not the actual amount saved per bar.

5. What is the result of dividing 3.44 by 0.6 rounded off to the nearest whole number?

• A. 0
• B. 6
• C. 11
• D. 2

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the result of dividing 3.44 by 0.6, you perform the division operation: 3.44 ÷ 0.6 = 5.73. When rounded off to the nearest whole number, 5.73 becomes 6. Therefore, the correct answer is 6. Choice A is incorrect as the result is not 0. Choice C is incorrect as it is not the closest whole number to 5.73. Choice D is incorrect as it does not reflect the accurate division result.
