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 honeycomb cell has six equal sides, each measuring 8mm. What is its perimeter?

• A. 32mm
• B. 40mm
• C. 48mm
• D. 56mm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the perimeter of a shape with equal sides, you multiply the length of one side by the number of sides. In this case, the honeycomb cell has 6 sides, each measuring 8mm. Therefore, the perimeter is calculated as perimeter = number of sides * side length = 6 * 8mm = 48mm. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the total length around the honeycomb cell with six sides.

3. A newspaper kiosk sells 10 varieties of newspapers from around the world. The average daily sales for some of the varieties are as follows: English language newspapers sell 25 each day, French language newspapers sell 1 each day, Korean language newspapers sell 16 each day, Japanese language newspapers sell 16 each day, and Russian language newspapers sell 22 each day. How many newspapers are sold each day?

• A. 368 papers
• B. 370 papers
• C. 500 papers
• D. 400 papers

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the total number of newspapers sold each day, add the sales for each language: 25 (English) + 1 (French) + 16 (Korean) + 16 (Japanese) + 22 (Russian) = 80. Multiply this by the number of language varieties (10) to get the total number of newspapers sold: 80 x 10 = 800. Therefore, the kiosk sells 800 newspapers each day, not 368 as erroneously stated. The correct answer is 800 papers.

4. In a local baseball team, 4 players, which represent 5% of the team, have long hair, and the rest have short hair. How many short-haired players are there on the team?

• A. 72
• B. 74
• C. 76
• D. 78

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Given that 4 players represent 5% of the team, let's denote the total number of players as x. The equation to represent this situation is 0.05x = 4. Solving for x, we get x = 80, which is the total number of players on the team. Since 4 players have long hair, the remaining players have short hair, which is 80 - 4 = 76. Therefore, there are 76 short-haired players on the team. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not consider the total number of players correctly, leading to inaccurate calculations.

5. Which of the following percentages is equal to 0.45?

• A. 4.5%
• B. 0.045%
• C. 0.45%
• D. 45%

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert 0.45 to a percentage, you multiply by 100: 0.45 × 100 = 45%. Therefore, the correct answer is D. 45%. Choice A, 4.5%, is incorrect. This percentage would be equal to 0.045, not 0.45. Choice B, 0.045%, is also incorrect. It represents 0.045, not 0.45. Choice C, 0.45%, is very close to the correct answer but actually represents 0.0045, not 0.45.
