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 Mr. Parker owns 150 shares of stock in Stark Industries and receives $180.00 per year in dividends, how much does Mr. Rogers receive for an annual dividend if he owns 400 shares?

• A. $480
• B. $500
• C. $450
• D. $72,000

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find out how much Mr. Rogers receives for an annual dividend with 400 shares, we can set up a proportion: 400 shares is to X dollars as 150 shares is to $180. This gives us 400 * $180 / 150 = $480 in annual dividends. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B, $500, is incorrect because it does not consider the proportionality of shares to dividend amount. Choice C, $450, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct calculation based on the given information. Choice D, $72,000, is significantly higher and incorrect as it does not align with the proportionality of shares and dividends.

3. Add and simplify: 4⅔ + 6½ =

• A. 11⅙
• B. 10⅓
• C. 9⅙
• D. 9

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To add 4⅔ and 6½, we first need to convert the fractions to have the same denominator. Converting 4⅔ to 6ths gives us 8/6, and 6½ to 6ths gives us 7/2. Adding them together gives 15/2, which simplifies to 7½ or 9⅙. Therefore, the correct answer is 9⅙. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct sum of the fractions after conversion and simplification.

4. What is (12/15) ÷ (3/5) = ?

• A. 1 1/3
• B. 1 2/3
• C. 2 1/3
• D. 1

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To divide fractions, you multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor. (12/15) ÷ (3/5) is the same as (12/15) * (5/3). Cancel out common factors to simplify: 12 ÷ 3 = 4, 15 ÷ 5 = 3. So, the expression simplifies to 4/3, which is 1 1/3 in mixed number form. Choice A, 1 1/3, is the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the simplified form of the division of the given fractions.

5. Fred's rule for computing an infant's dose of medication is: infant's dose = (Child's age in months x adult dose) / 150. If the adult dose of medication is 15 mg, how much should be given to a 2-year-old child?

• A. 2.4 mg
• B. 3
• C. 48 mg
• D. 1

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the dose for a 2-year-old child using Fred's rule, we substitute the child's age (24 months) and the adult dose (15 mg) into the formula: (24 x 15) / 150 = 2.4 mg. Therefore, the correct answer is A, representing 2.4 mg for a 2-year-old child. Choice B is incorrect as it does not match the calculated dose. Choice C is incorrect as it does not consider the formula provided. Choice D is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct calculation based on the given information.
