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. Futuristic Furniture gave the man two choices: pay the entire amount in one payment with cash, or pay $1000 as a down payment and $120 per month for two full years in the financing plan. If the man chooses the financing plan, how much more would he pay?

• A. $1480 more
• B. $1280 more
• C. $1600 more
• D. $2480 more

Correct answer: B

Rationale: If the man chooses the financing plan, he pays $1000 as a down payment initially. Over the two-year period, he will be paying $120 per month for a total of 24 months, which amounts to $120 x 24 = $2880. Therefore, the total amount he pays for the furniture through the financing plan is $1000 (down payment) + $2880 (monthly payments) = $3880. Comparing this total with the entire amount paid in one payment with cash would be $3880 - $3000 = $880 more. So, the man would pay $880 more if he chooses the financing plan. Therefore, the correct answer is $1280 more, not $1480, $1600, or $2480. These amounts do not accurately represent the additional cost incurred by choosing the financing plan.

3. What is the perimeter of a square with a side length of 6 cm?

• A. 24 cm
• B. 12 cm
• C. 18 cm
• D. 36 cm

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The perimeter of a square is calculated by multiplying the side length by 4 since all sides are equal. In this case, the side length is 6 cm, so the perimeter is 4 * 6 = 24 cm. Therefore, choice A, 24 cm, is the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct calculation for the perimeter of a square.

4. Which decimal is the smallest?

• A. 2.22
• B. 2.02
• C. 2.002
• D. 2.2

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To determine the smallest decimal, we look at the digits after the decimal point. In this case, 2.002 is the smallest because it has the least value in the thousandths place. Choice A, 2.22, has a higher value in the hundredths place making it larger. Choice B, 2.02, has a higher value in the hundredths place compared to 2.002. Choice D, 2.2, is larger than 2.002 as it has a higher value in the tenths place.

5. Jayden rides his bike for 5/8 miles. He takes a break and rides another 3/4 miles. How many miles does he ride?

• A. 1 3/8 miles
• B. 1 1/2 miles
• C. 1 7/8 miles
• D. 2 miles

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the total distance Jayden rides, you need to add the fractions 5/8 + 3/4. To add these fractions, you must ensure they have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 8. So, 5/8 + 3/4 = 5/8 + 6/8 = 11/8. Since 11/8 can be simplified to 1 3/8, Jayden rides a total of 1 3/8 miles. Choice B (1 1/2 miles), Choice C (1 7/8 miles), and Choice D (2 miles) are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the total distance calculated by adding the two fractions, which is 1 3/8 miles.
