1. How many feet are in 3 yards?

• A. 18 feet
• B. 9 feet
• C. 12 feet
• D. 27 feet

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert yards to feet, you multiply by 3, as 1 yard is equal to 3 feet. Therefore, 3 yards equals 3 x 3 = 9 feet. Choice A (18 feet) is incorrect because it multiplies by 2 instead of 3. Choice C (12 feet) is incorrect as it multiplies by 4 instead of 3. Choice D (27 feet) is incorrect as it multiplies by 9 instead of 3.

2. What is the result of dividing 3.44 by 0.6 rounded off to the nearest whole number?

• A. 0
• B. 6
• C. 11
• D. 2

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the result of dividing 3.44 by 0.6, you perform the division operation: 3.44 ÷ 0.6 = 5.73. When rounded off to the nearest whole number, 5.73 becomes 6. Therefore, the correct answer is 6. Choice A is incorrect as the result is not 0. Choice C is incorrect as it is not the closest whole number to 5.73. Choice D is incorrect as it does not reflect the accurate division result.

3. What is the probability of rolling a 5 on a six-sided die?

• A. 1/6
• B. 1/4
• C. 1/2
• D. 1/3

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The probability of rolling a specific number on a fair six-sided die is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes (1 in this case, as there is one '5' on the die) by the total number of possible outcomes (6 for a six-sided die), resulting in a probability of 1/6. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the probability of rolling a 5 on a six-sided die. Option B (1/4) is incorrect because it represents the probability of rolling a specific number on a four-sided die. Option C (1/2) and Option D (1/3) are incorrect as they do not match the probability calculation for rolling a 5 on a six-sided die.

4. How many kilometers is equivalent to 200 meters?

• A. 50 kilometers
• B. 20 kilometers
• C. 12 kilometers
• D. 0.2 kilometers

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert meters to kilometers, divide the number of meters by 1000, as 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters. Therefore, 200 meters is equivalent to 200 / 1000 = 0.2 kilometers. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not correctly convert meters to kilometers. A provides an answer that would be correct if converting from kilometers to meters. B and C are much larger distances than what 200 meters represent.

5. If an investment earns 5% interest annually, how much interest will it earn in 1 year on a principal of $1,000?

• A. $40
• B. $50
• C. $60
• D. $55

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: $50. To calculate the interest earned on an investment with a 5% interest rate on a principal of $1,000, you simply multiply the principal amount by the interest rate. 5% of $1,000 is $50. Therefore, the investment will earn $50 in interest in 1 year. Choice A, $40, is incorrect because it represents 4% interest instead of 5%. Choice C, $60, is incorrect because it overestimates the interest earned. Choice D, $55, is incorrect as it does not accurately reflect the 5% interest on the principal amount.
