1. How many kilograms are in 4,000 grams?

• A. 4 kilograms
• B. 5 kilograms
• C. 1 kilogram
• D. 2 kilograms

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert grams to kilograms, divide by 1,000 because there are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 4,000 grams ÷ 1,000 = 4 kilograms. Choice A is correct as it represents the correct conversion. Choice B, 5 kilograms, is incorrect because it is not the result of dividing 4,000 grams by 1,000. Choice C, 1 kilogram, is incorrect because 4,000 grams is more than 1 kilogram. Choice D, 2 kilograms, is incorrect as it is not the correct conversion from grams to kilograms.

2. A rancher has a herd of different-colored horses in his corral. Ten of the horses are black, six are brown, eight are two-color horses, and three are all white. What percentage of the horses are brown? (Round to the nearest whole number if necessary).

• A. 15%
• B. 20%
• C. 25%
• D. 30%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the percentage of brown horses, first calculate the total number of horses: 10 black + 6 brown + 8 two-color + 3 all white = 27 horses. Then, calculate the percentage of brown horses: (6 ÷ 27) × 100 = 22.22%, which rounds to 20%. Choice B, 20%, is the correct answer. Choice A, 15%, is incorrect as it does not reflect the accurate percentage of brown horses. Choice C, 25%, is incorrect as it overestimates the percentage of brown horses. Choice D, 30%, is incorrect as it also overestimates the percentage of brown horses.

3. A man can type 45 words per minute. How many words can he type in 20 minutes?

• A. 875 words
• B. 800 words
• C. 900 words
• D. 875 words

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To calculate the total number of words typed in 20 minutes, multiply the typing speed per minute (45 words) by the duration in minutes (20 minutes): 45 words/min × 20 min = 900 words. Therefore, the correct answer is 900 words. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the accurate calculation based on the given information.

4. What is 28% of 100?

• A. 28
• B. 20
• C. 25
• D. 30

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 28. To find 28% of 100, you multiply 0.28 (the decimal equivalent of 28%) by 100. This calculation results in 28. Therefore, 28% of 100 is 28. Choice B, 20, is incorrect as it represents 20% of 100. Choice C, 25, is incorrect as it represents 25% of 100. Choice D, 30, is incorrect as it represents 30% of 100.

5. 7:5=91:x. Find x.

• A. x=65
• B. x=55
• C. x=75
• D. x=85

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve the proportion 7:5=91:x, cross multiply to get 7x = 5 * 91. Then, solve for x by dividing both sides by 7, which gives x = 65. Therefore, the correct answer is x=65. Choice B, x=55, is incorrect because it does not satisfy the proportion equation. Choices C and D, x=75 and x=85, are also incorrect as they do not match the calculated value of x when the proportion is solved.
