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. 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.

3. A man is reading. He reads two chapters a day. How long will it take if there are 6 pages per chapter and 798 pages total?

• A. 66 & 1/2
• B. 399
• C. 75 & 1/2
• D. 133

Correct answer: A

Rationale: First, calculate how many pages the man reads per day. Since he reads two chapters a day and each chapter has 6 pages: 2 chapters/day × 6 pages/chapter = 12 pages/day Now, divide the total number of pages by the number of pages he reads per day: 798 pages ÷ 12 pages/day = 66 1/2 days Thus, it will take him 66 & 1/2 days to finish the book. Therefore, the correct answer is A. 66 & 1/2. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correspond to the correct calculation based on the given information.

4. If Alice consumes twice as many calories as Claire, and Claire consumes 2,500 calories a day, how many calories does Alice consume per week?

• A. 17,500
• B. 15,000
• C. 22,500
• D. 35,000

Correct answer: D

Rationale: If Claire consumes 2,500 calories a day, Alice, consuming twice as many calories as Claire, would consume 2 * 2,500 = 5,000 calories per day. To find out how many calories Alice consumes per week, we multiply her daily consumption by 7 (days in a week): 5,000 * 7 = 35,000 calories. Therefore, Alice consumes 35,000 calories per week. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not account for Alice consuming twice as many calories as Claire.

5. A kite has a top base of 20cm, a bottom base of 30cm, and two equal side lengths of 15cm. What is its perimeter?

• A. 55cm
• B. 65cm
• C. 70cm
• D. 80cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the perimeter of a kite, you need to add the lengths of all its sides. In this case, the perimeter is calculated as the sum of the top base, bottom base, and twice the side length. Therefore, perimeter = top base + bottom base + 2 * side length = 20cm + 30cm + 2 * 15cm = 70cm. Choice A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not consider all sides of the kite in the calculation.
