1. Convert the decimal to a percent: 0.64

• A. 0.64%
• B. 6.4%
• C. 64%
• D. 0.064%

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percent, you multiply by 100 or move the decimal point two places to the right. In this case, 0.64 becomes 64%. Therefore, the correct answer is 64%. Choice A, 0.64%, is incorrect because it does not convert the decimal to a percent. Choice B, 6.4%, is incorrect as it mistakenly moves the decimal point only one place. Choice D, 0.064%, is incorrect as it moves the decimal point three places instead of two.

2. Change the following fraction into a ratio: 22/91

• A. 22:91
• B. 1/3
• C. 22/91
• D. Not here

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a fraction into a ratio, you express it as a ratio of two numbers separated by a colon. Therefore, 22/91 as a ratio is 22:91. Choice B (1/3) is a different fraction not equivalent to 22/91. Choice C (22/91) is the original fraction and not the ratio form. Choice D is irrelevant to the question.

3. A farmer buys 3 bags of feed weighing 50 kilograms each. How much feed does he have in total?

• A. 100 kilograms
• B. 150 kilograms
• C. 200 kilograms
• D. 250 kilograms

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 150 kilograms. To find the total amount of feed, you need to multiply the number of bags by the weight of each bag. In this case, 3 bags * 50 kilograms each = 150 kilograms. Therefore, the farmer has a total of 150 kilograms of feed. Choice A (100 kilograms) is incorrect because it doesn't consider the total weight of all 3 bags. Choice C (200 kilograms) and Choice D (250 kilograms) are incorrect as they are miscalculations of the total weight of the feed.

4. Convert the following military time to regular time: 15:17:52.

• A. 2:17 PM
• B. 3:17 PM
• C. 5:17 AM
• D. 9:17 AM

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert military time to regular time, subtract 12 from the hours if it is 13 or greater. In this case, 15:17:52 becomes 3:17:52 PM. Choice A (2:17 PM) is incorrect as it doesn't adjust for the 12-hour conversion. Choice C (5:17 AM) and Choice D (9:17 AM) are incorrect as they don't reflect the correct conversion from military time to regular time.

5. How many grams are in 10 kilograms?

• A. 10,000 grams
• B. 100 grams
• C. 1000 grams
• D. 100,000 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 10,000 grams. There are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, to find the number of grams in 10 kilograms, you multiply 10 (kilograms) by 1,000 (grams/kilogram) to get 10,000 grams. Choice B (100 grams) is incorrect as it represents the conversion for 1 kilogram, not 10 kilograms. Choice C (1000 grams) is incorrect as it is equal to 1 kilogram, not 10 kilograms. Choice D (100,000 grams) is incorrect as it represents the conversion for 100 kilograms, not 10 kilograms.
