1. What is the volume of an Egyptian model pyramid with a square base side length of 10cm and a height of 8cm?

• A. 20 cu cm
• B. 40 cu cm
• C. 80 cu cm
• D. 160 cu cm

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the volume of a pyramid, we use the formula: Volume = (1/3) * base area * height. First, calculate the base area by squaring the base side length: 10cm * 10cm = 100 sq cm. Substitute the values into the formula: Volume = (1/3) * 100 sq cm * 8cm = 80 cu cm. Therefore, the correct answer is 160 cu cm. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the volume of the pyramid based on the given dimensions.

2. 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.

3. What is the probability of rolling a 5 on a six-sided die?

• A. 1/6
• B. 1/4
• C. 1/2
• D. 1/3

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The probability of rolling a specific number on a fair six-sided die is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes (1 in this case, as there is one '5' on the die) by the total number of possible outcomes (6 for a six-sided die), resulting in a probability of 1/6. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the probability of rolling a 5 on a six-sided die. Option B (1/4) is incorrect because it represents the probability of rolling a specific number on a four-sided die. Option C (1/2) and Option D (1/3) are incorrect as they do not match the probability calculation for rolling a 5 on a six-sided die.

4. How many liters are there in 500 milliliters?

• A. 0.5 liters
• B. 5 liters
• C. 50 liters
• D. 500,000 liters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 0.5 liters. To convert milliliters to liters, you need to divide by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter. Therefore, 500 milliliters is equal to 0.5 liters. Choice B, 5 liters, is incorrect because it would be the equivalent of 5000 milliliters. Choice C, 50 liters, is incorrect as it is ten times the converted value. Choice D, 500,000 liters, is way off as it is a thousand times more than the correct conversion.

5. Convert 5/8 to a decimal.

• A. 0.625
• B. 0.5
• C. 0.4
• D. 0.75

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 5/8 to a decimal, divide 5 by 8: 5 ÷ 8 = 0.625. The correct answer is A (0.625). Choice B (0.5) is incorrect because it represents 1/2. Choice C (0.4) is incorrect because it represents 2/5. Choice D (0.75) is incorrect because it represents 3/4.
