1. How many grams are in 8 kilograms?

• A. 80000 grams
• B. 800 grams
• C. 80000 grams
• D. 8000 grams

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 8 kilograms = 8 x 1,000 = 8,000 grams. The correct answer is 8,000 grams, which is option D. Choices A and C are incorrect as they incorrectly multiply by 10,000 instead of 1,000. Choice B is incorrect as it divides 8 by 10 instead of multiplying by 1,000.

2. In a class of 28 people, there are 12 men and 16 women. What is the ratio of men to women?

• A. 3:4
• B. 4:7
• C. 12:16
• D. 1:2

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct ratio of men to women is 3:4. To find the ratio, divide the number of men by the number of women: 12 men / 16 women = 3/4, which simplifies to 3:4. Therefore, in a class of 28 people with 12 men and 16 women, the ratio of men to women is 3:4. Choice B (4:7) is incorrect because it does not accurately reflect the given numbers of men and women in the class. Choice C (12:16) is incorrect as it represents the actual count of men and women, not the ratio. Choice D (1:2) is incorrect as it does not match the proportion of men to women in the class.

3. Stewart has 56 acres of land. He wants to divide the land into plots of 0.25 acres. How many plots of land will Stewart have after he divides the 56 acres?

• A. 224 plots
• B. 220 plots
• C. 210 plots
• D. 230 plots

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the number of plots, divide 56 acres by 0.25 acres per plot: 56 ÷ 0.25 = 224 plots. Therefore, Stewart will have 224 plots of land after dividing the 56 acres. The correct answer is A because dividing 56 acres by 0.25 acres per plot gives 224 plots, not 220, 210, or 230 plots.

4. If a man reads 2 chapters a day and there are 6 pages per chapter in a 798-page book, how long will it take him to finish the book?

• A. 133 days
• B. 399 days
• C. 75 days
• D. 66.5 days

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the total number of chapters, divide the total number of pages by the number of pages per chapter: 798 ÷ 6 = 133 chapters. If he reads 2 chapters a day, it will take him 133 ÷ 2 = 66.5 days to finish the book. Therefore, the correct answer is 66.5 days. Choice A is incorrect because it miscalculates the number of days required. Choices B and C are incorrect as they do not consider the correct calculation based on the given information.

5. What is the value of pi (π) to 2 decimal places?

• A. 3.12
• B. 3.14
• C. 3.16
• D. 3.18

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The value of pi (π) up to two decimal places is 3.14. Pi is a mathematical constant representing the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter and is commonly approximated as 3.14. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not match the standard approximation of pi up to two decimal places.
