1. Change 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, multiply by 100. In this case, 0.64 × 100 = 64%. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A (0.64%) is incorrect as it represents the original decimal value in percentage form. Choice B (6.4%) is incorrect as it incorrectly multiplies the decimal value by 10 instead of 100. Choice D (0.064%) is incorrect as it represents the decimal value as a fraction of 1000 instead of 100.

2. What is the area of a rectangular room with a length of 12 meters and a width of 10 meters?

• A. 120 square meters
• B. 130 square meters
• C. 140 square meters
• D. 100 square meters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 120 square meters. To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply its length by its width. In this case, the length is 12 meters and the width is 10 meters. Therefore, the area of the room is 12m * 10m = 120 square meters. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the area of the room based on its dimensions.

3. A child's toy block is a cube with side lengths of 5cm. What is its total surface area?

• A. 25 sq cm
• B. 50 sq cm
• C. 125 sq cm
• D. 150 sq cm

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The surface area of a cube is calculated using the formula: 6 * (side length)^2. Substituting the side length of 5cm into the formula, we get: 6 * (5cm)^2 = 6 * 25cm^2 = 150 sq cm. Therefore, the total surface area of the toy block is 150 sq cm. Choices A (25 sq cm), B (50 sq cm), and C (125 sq cm) are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total surface area of the cube.

4. Convert 26°C to Fahrenheit.

• A. 78°F
• B. 72°F
• C. 80°F
• D. 85°F

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, the formula F = (9/5)C + 32 is used. Substituting 26°C into the formula: F = (9/5)(26) + 32 = 78.8°F, which rounds to 78°F. Therefore, the correct answer is 78°F. Choice B (72°F), Choice C (80°F), and Choice D (85°F) are incorrect as they do not result from the correct conversion calculation.

5. Express 0.025 as a ratio.

• A. 1:40
• B. 4:1
• C. 400:1
• D. 26:40:00

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.025 to a ratio, we can express it as 25:1000 and simplify it by dividing both terms by 25, resulting in 1:40. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (4:1) and C (400:1) do not represent the correct ratio for 0.025. Choice D (26:40:00) is incorrect as it does not follow the standard ratio format of two numbers separated by a colon.
