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. If the width of a rectangle is 4 inches (in) and the area of the rectangle is 32 in², what is the length of the rectangle?

• A. 8 in
• B. 28 in
• C. 36 in
• D. 128 in

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the length of the rectangle, we use the formula: Length = Area / Width. Substituting the values given, Length = 32 in² / 4 in = 8 in. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (28 in), Choice C (36 in), and Choice D (128 in) are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the length based on the given width and area of the rectangle.

3. What is the mode of the numbers in the distribution shown in the table?

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The mode of a set of numbers is the value that appears most frequently. In the distribution shown in the table, the number '1' occurs more times than any other number, making it the mode. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the number that occurs most frequently in the dataset.

4. The table below shows the number of books checked out from a library over the course of 4 weeks. Which equation describes the relationship between the number of books (b) and weeks (w)?

• A. b = 10w + 2
• B. b = 5w + 10
• C. b = 8w + 12
• D. b = 4w + 20

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The relationship between the number of books and weeks is best described by the equation b = 5w + 10. This is because the initial value of books checked out is 10, which indicates that even with 0 weeks, there are already 10 books checked out. The rate at which books are checked out per week is 5, as indicated by the coefficient of w. Therefore, the correct equation should be b = 5w + 10. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the correct initial value or rate of increase for the given scenario.

5. Four friends are sharing a pizza. One friend eats half of the pizza. The other three friends equally divide the rest among themselves. What portion of the pizza does each of the other three friends receive?

• A. 1/5
• B. 1/3
• C. 1/4
• D. 1/6

Correct answer: A

Rationale: After one friend eats half of the pizza, the remaining half is divided equally among the three other friends. Each of the three friends receives 1/3 of the remaining half, not 1/6. Therefore, the correct answer is 1/3 of 1/2, which is 1/6 of the total pizza. The incorrect choices are: B. 1/3 - This is the correct portion of the remaining pizza each friend receives, not 1/3. C. 1/4 - This is not the accurate portion each friend receives after the first friend eats half of the pizza. D. 1/6 - This is the portion of the total pizza each friend receives, not the portion each friend receives after the initial half is consumed.
