1. How many grams are in 6 kilograms?

• A. 600 grams
• B. 6000 grams
• C. 600 grams
• D. 60,000 grams

Correct answer: B

Rationale: There are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, to convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply the number of kilograms by 1,000. In this case, 6 kilograms would be equal to 6 × 1,000 = 6,000 grams. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not apply the correct conversion factor from kilograms to grams.

2. In a scale drawing for a toy rocket, 1 inch = 6 inches. If the rocket is 6 inches tall on the drawing, how tall will it be in reality?

• A. 1 foot
• B. 6 feet
• C. 1 yard
• D. 2 yards

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the scale drawing, 1 inch represents 6 inches in reality. If the rocket is 6 inches tall on the drawing, the actual height of the rocket would be 6 inches x 6 = 36 inches, which is equal to 3 feet or 1 yard. Therefore, the correct answer is 6 feet. Choice A is incorrect because the actual height is more than 1 foot. Choice C is incorrect as 36 inches is equivalent to 1 yard. Choice D is incorrect because 36 inches is not equal to 2 yards.

3. Multiply: 15 × 14 = and express the result in decimal form.

• A. 0.0021
• B. 0.021
• C. 0.21
• D. 2.1

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the product of 15 and 14, you multiply the two numbers together. 15 multiplied by 14 equals 210. When written in decimal form, it is 2.1. Therefore, the correct answer is 2.1, which corresponds to option D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they reflect values much smaller than the actual product of 15 and 14, which is 210, equivalent to 2.1 in decimal form.

4. Solve for x: 4x - 8 = 16.

• A. x = 7
• B. x = 7
• C. x = 4
• D. x = 6

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To solve the equation 4x - 8 = 16, first, add 8 to both sides to isolate 4x: 4x = 24. Then, divide by 4 to solve for x: x = 6. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choice A, x = 7, is incorrect as the correct solution is x = 6. Choices B and C are duplicates of choice A and are also incorrect.

5. When a die is rolled, what is the probability of rolling an odd number?

• A. 16.67%
• B. 33.33%
• C. 75%
• D. 50%

Correct answer: D

Rationale: When a die is rolled, there are 3 odd numbers (1, 3, 5) out of a total of 6 possible outcomes. The probability of rolling an odd number is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes (3) by the total number of outcomes (6), resulting in a probability of 3/6 or 50%. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct probability calculation for rolling an odd number on a standard six-sided die.
