1. How many kiloliters are in 147 liters?

• A. 0.147 kiloliters
• B. 1.47 kiloliters
• C. 1,470 kiloliters
• D. 147,000 kiloliters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert liters to kiloliters, divide by 1000 since there are 1000 liters in a kiloliter. Therefore, 147 liters = 0.147 kiloliters. Choice B is incorrect as it incorrectly moves the decimal point. Choices C and D are significantly larger than the correct answer, indicating an incorrect conversion factor used.

2. Joshua needs more than 92 points to qualify for a scholarship. Each question is worth 4 points, and there are 30 questions. What inequality determines how many questions he must answer correctly?

• A. 4x < 92
• B. 4x > 92
• C. 4x < 120
• D. 4x > 120

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To determine the number of questions Joshua must answer correctly, we divide the total points required (92) by the points per question (4) to get 23. Since he needs more than 92 points, he must answer more than 23 questions correctly, which is represented by the inequality 4x > 92. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the requirement for Joshua to answer more than 92 points' worth of questions.

3. The cost of renting a bicycle is $3.60 per hour. Which equation shows the best relationship between the total cost (C) and the number of hours (h) rented?

• A. C = 3.60h
• B. C = h + 3.60
• C. C = 3.60h + 10.80
• D. C = 10.80h

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The best relationship is C = 3.60h because the cost increases by $3.60 for each hour of rental. This equation represents a linear relationship where the total cost (C) is directly proportional to the number of hours rented (h). Choice B (C = h + 3.60) is incorrect because it wrongly assumes a fixed additional cost of $3.60 regardless of the number of hours rented. Choice C (C = 3.60h + 10.80) is incorrect as it overestimates the initial cost. Choice D (C = 10.80h) is incorrect as it implies a constant rate of $10.80 per hour, which is not the case.

4. What is the result when the number 1 is raised to ANY power?

• A. One
• B. Itself
• C. Zero
• D. Two

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'One.' When the number 1 is raised to any power, the result is always 1. This is a fundamental mathematical property where any number raised to the power of 0 equals 1. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. Choice B 'Itself' is vague and does not provide a clear mathematical result. Choice C 'Zero' is incorrect as 1 raised to any power is not zero. Choice D 'Two' is incorrect as the result of raising 1 to any power is always 1, not 2.

5. How do you find the factors of a number?

• A. Divide the number by all possible numbers
• B. Find all pairs of numbers that multiply to give the number
• C. List all the multiples of the number
• D. Add the digits of the number together

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct way to find the factors of a number is to identify all pairs of numbers that, when multiplied together, result in the given number. This method allows you to determine all the factors of the number. Choice A is incorrect because dividing the number by all possible numbers is not an efficient way to find its factors. Choice C is incorrect as listing all the multiples of the number does not give the factors. Choice D is unrelated to finding factors as adding the digits of a number together does not provide information about its factors.
