1. Convert 2/5 to a decimal.

• A. 0.5
• B. 0.25
• C. 0.4
• D. 0.5

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert 2/5 to a decimal, you divide the numerator (2) by the denominator (5): 2 ÷ 5 = 0.4. Therefore, the correct decimal representation of 2/5 is 0.4. Choice A (0.5) is incorrect because it represents 1/2, not 2/5. Choice B (0.25) is incorrect as it represents 1/4, not 2/5. Choice D (0.5) is incorrect as it also represents 1/2, not 2/5.

2. 5\7 + 3\14 = ?

• A. 13\14
• B. 10/14
• C. 11/14
• D. 12/14

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add fractions with different denominators, first find a common denominator. The least common denominator between 7 and 14 is 14. Convert 5/7 to 10/14: 5 / 7 = 10 / 14 5/7=10/14 Now add the two fractions: 10 / 14 + 3 / 14 = 13 / 14 10/14+3/14=13/14

3. A train travels at 65 mph for 1.5 hours. How far did it travel?

• A. 97.5 miles
• B. 95 miles
• C. 100 miles
• D. 100.5 miles

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the distance traveled, multiply the speed of the train (65 mph) by the time it traveled (1.5 hours): 65 mph × 1.5 hours = 97.5 miles. Therefore, the train traveled 97.5 miles. Choice B, 95 miles, is incorrect as it does not account for the correct calculation. Choice C, 100 miles, is incorrect as it is a rounded-up value. Choice D, 100.5 miles, is incorrect as it is a miscalculation.

4. The formula for calculating ideal body weight (IBW) for men is IBW (kg) = 50 + 2.3 * (height in cm - 150). If a man is 180cm tall, what is his ideal body weight?

• A. 68kg
• B. 71kg
• C. 74kg
• D. 77kg

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: 1. Substitute the given height into the formula for calculating ideal body weight (IBW) for men: IBW (kg) = 50 + 2.3 * (180 - 150) IBW (kg) = 50 + 2.3 * 30 IBW (kg) = 50 + 69 IBW (kg) = 119 2. Therefore, the ideal body weight for a man who is 180cm tall is 119kg. 3. Among the given options, the closest value to 119kg is 71kg (option B). 4. Hence, the correct answer is B) 71kg.

5. If the elephant weighed 3 tons, how many pounds did it weigh?

• A. 6000 pounds
• B. 5000 pounds
• C. 3000 pounds
• D. 7000 pounds

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert tons to pounds, you multiply by 2000 because 1 ton is equal to 2000 pounds. Therefore, 3 tons equal 3 × 2000 = 6000 pounds. The correct answer is 6000 pounds. Choice B (5000 pounds) is incorrect because it miscalculates the conversion. Choice C (3000 pounds) is incorrect as it represents the weight of 1 ton, not 3 tons. Choice D (7000 pounds) is incorrect as it overestimates the weight of 3 tons.
