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. 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.

3. What is the result of dividing 3 by 4?

• A. 5.75
• B. 5.875
• C. 6.25
• D. 0.75

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To divide 3 by 4, we perform the division operation: 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75. The correct answer is 0.75 (D). Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not result from dividing 3 by 4. Choice A (5.75) is the result of dividing 23 by 4, choice B (5.875) is the result of dividing 7 by 1.2, and choice C (6.25) is the result of multiplying 5 by 1.25.

4. Convert this military time to regular time: 2120 hours.

• A. 9:20 A.M.
• B. 9:20 P.M.
• C. 2:12 A.M.
• D. 2:12 P.M.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert military time to regular time, subtract 12 from the hours if the time is in the afternoon or evening. In this case, 21 - 12 = 9, so 2120 hours is equivalent to 9:20 P.M. Therefore, the correct answer is option B, 9:20 P.M. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly adjust the military time to regular time format. Choice A shows 9:20 A.M., which is incorrect as the time is in the evening. Choices C and D show times that are not derived from the given military time, making them incorrect as well.

5. After the young mother goes shopping and spends $101.85 on groceries, $21.90 at the dry cleaners, and $42.66 at the pet store, she has $200.00 in cash. How much money would she have left after her day of shopping?

• A. $33.59
• B. $29.59
• C. $25.59
• D. $21.59

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, $33.59. To find out how much money she would have left, we need to calculate the total spending by adding the amounts spent at the groceries, dry cleaners, and pet store: $101.85 + $21.90 + $42.66 = $166.41. Subtract the total spending from the initial cash amount to determine the remaining cash: $200.00 - $166.41 = $33.59. Choice B, $29.59, is incorrect as it does not accurately reflect the correct calculation. Choices C and D, $25.59 and $21.59 respectively, are also incorrect as they do not consider the correct total spending amount and subtraction from the initial cash.
