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. What is the result of dividing 40.3 by 4.8?

• A. 7.5
• B. 8.4
• C. 6.2
• D. 9.1

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To divide 40.3 by 4.8, you perform the calculation: 40.3 ÷ 4.8 ≈ 8.4. Therefore, the correct answer is 8.4. Choice A (7.5) is incorrect as it is the result of dividing 40.3 by 5.4. Choice C (6.2) is incorrect as it is the result of dividing 40.3 by 6.5. Choice D (9.1) is incorrect as it is the result of dividing 40.3 by 4.4.

3. Ratio and proportion: 6:10=24:x

• A. 40
• B. 25
• C. 240
• D. 4

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve for x, use cross-multiplication: 6x = 10 x 24 6x = 240 Now, divide both sides by 6 to find x: x = 240 / 6 = 40 Therefore, the correct answer is A. 40. Choice B, 25, is incorrect because it does not satisfy the proportion. Choice C, 240, is incorrect because it represents the value that is given in the proportion and not the value of x. Choice D, 4, is incorrect as it does not align with the correct calculation for x.

4. A patient's temperature is measured as 38.5 degrees Celsius. What is their temperature in Fahrenheit?

• A. 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit
• B. 101.3 degrees Fahrenheit
• C. 103.1 degrees Fahrenheit
• D. 104.9 degrees Fahrenheit

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the formula: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. Given that the patient's temperature is 38.5 degrees Celsius: °F = (38.5 × 9/5) + 32. °F = (69.3) + 32. °F = 101.3. Therefore, the patient's temperature in Fahrenheit is 104.9 degrees Fahrenheit (rounded to one decimal place). Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate conversion from Celsius to Fahrenheit based on the provided formula.

5. 12 is a/an:

• A. even number
• B. odd number
• C. prime number
• D. composite number

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Rationale: - An even number is an integer that is exactly divisible by 2, meaning there is no remainder when divided by 2. - The number 12 can be divided by 2 evenly, as 12 ÷ 2 = 6, with no remainder. - Therefore, 12 is classified as an even number.
