1. Convert 0.007 kilograms to grams.

• A. 7 grams
• B. 70 grams
• C. 0.07 grams
• D. 0.70 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 0.007 kilograms is equal to 0.007 x 1000 = 7 grams. Choice A is correct. Choice B is incorrect as it incorrectly multiplies by 10 instead of 1000. Choice C is incorrect as it incorrectly moves the decimal point one place to the right. Choice D is incorrect as it incorrectly moves the decimal point two places to the right.

2. A train travels at 65 mph for 1.5 hours. How far did it travel?

• A. 97.5 miles
• B. 95 miles
• C. 100 miles
• D. 100.5 miles

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the distance traveled, multiply the speed of the train (65 mph) by the time it traveled (1.5 hours): 65 mph × 1.5 hours = 97.5 miles. Therefore, the train traveled 97.5 miles. Choice B, 95 miles, is incorrect as it does not account for the correct calculation. Choice C, 100 miles, is incorrect as it is a rounded-up value. Choice D, 100.5 miles, is incorrect as it is a miscalculation.

3. After putting ⅓ aside for her share of rent and utilities and spending $75 on groceries, what is left from her weekly paycheck?

• A. $150
• B. $214.86
• C. $204.26
• D. $192.76

Correct answer: A

Rationale: If she puts aside 1/3 of her paycheck for rent and utilities, this means she spends 3 portions in total. So, 1 portion represents 1/3 of the paycheck. Since she spends $75 on groceries, it leaves 2 portions. The total amount of 3 portions is the paycheck. To find out one portion, divide the total paycheck by 3: Paycheck = 3 portions. $75 is one portion. Multiply the one portion by 3 to find the total paycheck: $75 * 3 = $225. Subtract the spent amount from the weekly paycheck: $225 - $75 = $150. Therefore, the amount left from her weekly paycheck is $150. The other choices are incorrect because they do not follow the correct calculation based on the given information.

4. How many ounces are in 3 5/8 quarts?

• A. 184 oz
• B. 132 oz
• C. 128 oz
• D. 320 oz

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert quarts to ounces, we need to know that 1 quart is equal to 32 ounces. To find out how many ounces are in 3 5/8 quarts, we multiply 3 quarts by 32 (96) and add the equivalent of 5/8 of a quart, which is 16 ounces (32 * 5/8 = 16). Adding these together gives us a total of 112 ounces. Therefore, the correct answer is 184 ounces. Choice B (132 oz) is incorrect as it does not account for the additional 16 ounces from the 5/8 of a quart. Choice C (128 oz) is incorrect as it miscalculates the total number of ounces. Choice D (320 oz) is incorrect as it incorrectly multiplies 3.625 by 32, which is not the correct way to convert quarts to ounces.

5. Relatively prime numbers share no common factors other than 1. Which of the following pairs of numbers are relatively prime?

• A. 12 and 16
• B. 15 and 17
• C. 20 and 24
• D. 28 and 36

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - Relatively prime numbers are numbers that share no common factors other than 1. - To determine if two numbers are relatively prime, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two numbers. If the GCD is 1, then the numbers are relatively prime. - Let's calculate the GCD for each pair of numbers: A) GCD(12, 16) = 4, not relatively prime B) GCD(15, 17) = 1, relatively prime C) GCD(20, 24) = 4, not relatively prime D) GCD(28, 36) = 4, not relatively prime Therefore, the pair of numbers 15 and 17 are relatively prime because their greatest common divisor is 1, meaning they share no common factors other than 1.
