1. How many grams are in 7 kilograms?

• A. 7000 grams
• B. 70 grams
• C. 700 grams
• D. 70,000 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 7 kilograms is equal to 7 x 1,000 = 7,000 grams. The correct answer is 7000 grams. Choice B (70 grams) is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 7 kilograms to grams without considering the correct multiplier. Choice C (700 grams) is incorrect as it is a tenth of the correct conversion. Choice D (70,000 grams) is incorrect as it is ten times the correct conversion.

2. How many milliliters are in 5 liters?

• A. 5000 milliliters
• B. 50 milliliters
• C. 500 milliliters
• D. 0.5 milliliters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, remember there are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. So, to find how many milliliters are in 5 liters, you multiply 5 (liters) by 1,000 (milliliters per liter), which equals 5,000 milliliters. Choice A is correct as it converts 5 liters to milliliters accurately. Choice B, 50 milliliters, is incorrect as it mistakenly converts liters to milliliters by a factor of 100 instead of 1,000. Choice C, 500 milliliters, is incorrect as it also wrongly converts liters to milliliters by a factor of 10 instead of 1,000. Choice D, 0.5 milliliters, is incorrect as it inaccurately converts 5 liters to 0.5 milliliters, which is not correct.

3. A marathon runner completes 21.4 miles and burns 2276 calories. What is her rate of calories burned per mile?

• A. 106.3
• B. 106.4
• C. 106.355
• D. 106.36

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the rate of calories burned per mile, divide the total calories burned by the total miles run. In this case, 2276 calories ÷ 21.4 miles = 106.4 calories per mile. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (106.3) is incorrect because it is slightly lower than the calculated value. Choice C (106.355) is incorrect as it is a more precise value than the calculation result. Choice D (106.36) is also incorrect as it is a more precise value than the calculated answer.

4. Change the following decimal to a percent: 0.09

• A. 9%
• B. 90%
• C. 1%
• D. 0%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percentage, you multiply by 100. Therefore, 0.09 * 100 = 9%. The correct answer is A. Choice B (90%) is incorrect because multiplying 0.09 by 100 does not equal 90%. Choices C (1%) and D (0%) are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate conversion of 0.09 to a percentage.

5. A decorative globe has a diameter of 25cm. What is its total surface area?

• A. 1570 sq cm
• B. 1963 sq cm
• C. 2513 sq cm
• D. 3142 sq cm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the total surface area of a sphere, you can use the formula: 4 * π * (radius)^2, where the radius is half the diameter. Given that the diameter is 25cm, the radius is half of that, which is 12.5cm. Substitute this value into the formula: 4 * π * (12.5cm)^2 ≈ 1963 sq cm. Therefore, the total surface area of the decorative globe is approximately 1963 sq cm. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correspond to the correct calculation.
