1. How many grams are in 4 kilograms?

• A. 4000 grams
• B. 3000 grams
• C. 4500 grams
• D. 3500 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 4000 grams. To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply the number of kilograms by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram. Therefore, 4 kilograms is equal to 4 x 1000 = 4000 grams. Choice B (3000 grams), C (4500 grams), and D (3500 grams) are incorrect as they do not correctly convert 4 kilograms into grams.

2. If the regular price of a bar is $2.50, how much do you save per bar if you purchase a value pack of 8 bars for $20?

• A. 15¢
• B. 40¢
• C. 75¢
• D. $1.20

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To determine how much you save per bar when buying a value pack of 8 bars for $20, calculate the individual price per bar by dividing the total price by the number of bars: $20 ÷ 8 = $2.50 per bar. When the pack price is lower than the individual price, you save money. The saving per bar is found by subtracting the pack price from the individual price: $2.50 (individual price) - $2.50 (pack price) = $0.40. Therefore, you save 40 cents per bar by purchasing the value pack. Choice A, 15¢, is incorrect because the actual saving is $0.40. Choice C, 75¢, is incorrect as it doesn't match the calculated saving. Choice D, $1.20, is incorrect as it is not the actual amount saved per bar.

3. What is 75% of 80?

• A. 35
• B. 45
• C. 70
• D. 60

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To calculate 75% of 80, you multiply 0.75 by 80, which equals 60. Therefore, the correct answer is 60. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not represent 75% of 80. Choice A (35) is close to 50% of 80, Choice B (45) is close to 56.25% of 80, and Choice C (70) exceeds 80.

4. Which of these dates is represented by the Roman numeral MMXV?

• A. 2001
• B. 2015
• C. 2051
• D. 2105

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The Roman numeral MMXV represents the year 2015. In Roman numerals, M represents 1000, X represents 10, and V represents 5. Therefore, by converting the Roman numeral MMXV into its numerical equivalent (1000 + 10 + 5), it corresponds to the year 2015. Choice A (2001) is incorrect as it would be represented as MM + I, choice C (2051) would be represented as MM + LI, and choice D (2105) would be represented as MMCV in Roman numerals, making them all inaccurate representations of MMXV.

5. Solve: 2 - 8(24 ÷ 2).

• A. -94
• B. -92
• C. -96
• D. -90

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve the expression, we follow the order of operations (PEMDAS). First, we divide 24 by 2 to get 12. Then, we multiply 8 by 12, which equals 96. Finally, we subtract 96 from 2: 2 - 96 = -94. Therefore, the correct answer is A, '-94'. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not follow the correct order of operations or make errors during calculation.
