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. What is the total perimeter of a playground fence that has a rectangular section (5m by 3m) attached to a semicircular section with a radius of 2m?

• A. 13m
• B. 16m
• C. 19m
• D. 22m

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the total perimeter, we first calculate the perimeter of the semicircle, which is half of a full circle, so the formula is π * radius. For the semicircle with a radius of 2m, the perimeter is approximately 3.14 * 2m = 6.28m. Next, we calculate the perimeter of the rectangular section by adding twice the length and twice the width (2 * length + 2 * width). For the rectangle with dimensions 5m by 3m, the perimeter is 2 * 5m + 2 * 3m = 10m + 6m = 16m. Finally, we sum the perimeters of the semicircle and the rectangle to get the total perimeter: 6.28m + 16m = 22.28m. Rounding to the nearest meter, the total perimeter is approximately 22m. Therefore, the correct answer is 22m. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not accurately calculate the total perimeter of the playground fence.

3. What is the sum of 1/3, 1/4, and 1/6?

• A. 5/12
• B. 1/2
• C. 1/3
• D. 1/4

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the sum of 1/3, 1/4, and 1/6, we need to first find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 3, 4, and 6 is 12. So, we rewrite the fractions with the common denominator: 1/3 = 4/12, 1/4 = 3/12, and 1/6 = 2/12. Adding these fractions together gives us 4/12 + 3/12 + 2/12 = 9/12, which simplifies to 3/4 or 1/2. Therefore, the correct answer is 1/2. Choice A (5/12) is incorrect because it does not represent the sum of the fractions given. Choices C (1/3) and D (1/4) are also incorrect as they are individual fractions and do not represent the sum of the fractions provided.

4. How many ounces are in a gallon?

• A. 120 oz
• B. 128 oz
• C. 100 oz
• D. 105 oz

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 128 oz. There are 128 ounces in a gallon. This is a standard conversion factor in the US customary system. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the accurate conversion of ounces in a gallon.

5. How many centimeters are in a foot?

• A. 30 cm
• B. 31.5 cm
• C. 30.48 cm
• D. 35 cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 30.48 cm. This conversion is based on the standard measurement where 1 foot is equal to 30.48 centimeters. Choice A (30 cm) is incorrect as it is a rounded-down value and not precise. Choice B (31.5 cm) is incorrect as it is not the standard conversion for feet to centimeters. Choice D (35 cm) is incorrect as it is not the accurate conversion for a foot to centimeters.
