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 plan for a shed is drawn on a 1:10 scale. If the roof of the real shed measures 4 feet by 5 feet, what were the measurements on the plan?

• A. 80 inches by 100 inches
• B. 40 inches by 50 inches
• C. 4.8 inches by 6 inches
• D. 4 inches by 5 inches

Correct answer: B

Rationale: When the real shed roof measures 4 feet by 5 feet, on a 1:10 scale plan, the measurements on the plan would be 1/10 of the real measurements. Therefore, the correct answer is 40 inches by 50 inches since it represents 1/10 of 4 feet by 5 feet. Choice A (80 inches by 100 inches) is incorrect because it is equivalent to the real shed measurements, not the scaled plan. Choice C (4.8 inches by 6 inches) is incorrect as it does not reflect the 1:10 scale reduction. Choice D (4 inches by 5 inches) is incorrect because it does not consider the scale factor of 1:10.

3. Out of a total of 50 homes, she sold 11. What percentage of the homes did she sell?

• A. 16%
• B. 18%
• C. 22%
• D. 24%

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the percentage of homes she sold, divide the number of homes she sold (11) by the total number of homes (50), then multiply by 100. (11 / 50) * 100 = 22%. Therefore, she sold 22% of the homes. Choice A (16%) is incorrect because it is less than the correct percentage. Choice B (18%) is also less than the correct percentage. Choice D (24%) is greater than the correct percentage of homes she sold.

4. What is 54% of $789.56?

• A. $426.36
• B. $426.37
• C. $363.20
• D. $526.38

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate 54% of $789.56, you multiply 0.54 by 789.56, which equals $426.36. Therefore, choice A, $426.36, is the correct answer. Choice B, $426.37, is incorrect as it is a slightly higher value. Choice C, $363.20, is incorrect as it is significantly lower than the correct answer. Choice D, $526.38, is incorrect as it is higher than the correct calculation result.

5. What is the result of adding 5 2/9 and 1 2/9?

• A. 6 4/9
• B. 7 5/9
• C. 7
• D. 5 2/9

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add mixed numbers with fractions, first add the whole numbers together: 5 + 1 = 6. Then add the fractions: 2/9 + 2/9 = 4/9. Combining the whole number and the fraction parts gives 6 4/9. Therefore, the correct answer is 6 4/9. Choice B (7 5/9) is incorrect as the fractions were not added correctly. Choice C (7) is incorrect as it does not account for the fractions. Choice D (5 2/9) is one of the original numbers and not the sum of both.
