1. How many kilograms are there in 11 pounds?

• A. 5 kilograms
• B. 5.5 kilograms
• C. 22.2 kilograms
• D. 24.2 kilograms

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert pounds to kilograms, you can use the conversion factor: 1 pound is approximately equal to 0.453592 kilograms. Therefore, 11 pounds is equal to 11 * 0.453592 = 4.989512, which is approximately 5.5 kilograms. The correct answer is 5.5 kilograms. Choice A is incorrect as it rounds down and doesn't account for the decimals in the conversion. Choices C and D are significantly higher than the correct answer and are clearly incorrect conversions.

2. If a rat can finish a maze in about 3 minutes, how much longer will it take the rat to finish the maze if a small backpack is put on it, reducing its speed by 50%?

• A. 3 minutes
• B. 4 minutes
• C. 6 minutes
• D. 1.5 minutes

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Reducing the rat's speed by 50% means it will take twice as long to finish the maze. Since the original time is 3 minutes, doubling that gives 6 minutes. Therefore, the total time will be 6 minutes, making the correct answer C. Choice A (3 minutes) is the original time it takes the rat to finish the maze, not the time with the backpack. Choice B (4 minutes) is not correct as reducing the speed by 50% would double the original time. Choice D (1.5 minutes) is incorrect as halving the time is not the effect of reducing the speed by 50%.

3. How many centimeters are there in 1 foot?

• A. 4.72 centimeters
• B. 10 centimeters
• C. 25.4 centimeters
• D. 30.48 centimeters

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert feet to centimeters, you need to consider that there are 2.54 centimeters in an inch. Since a foot is equal to 12 inches, you multiply 12 inches by 2.54 to get 30.48 centimeters. Therefore, there are 30.48 centimeters in 1 foot. Choice A (4.72 centimeters) is incorrect as it does not use the correct conversion factor. Choice B (10 centimeters) is incorrect as it is not the accurate conversion for 1 foot. Choice C (25.4 centimeters) is incorrect as it corresponds to 10 inches, not 1 foot.

4. A pizza has a diameter of 40cm. What is its perimeter (circumference)?

• A. 62.8cm
• B. 125.5cm
• C. 125.6cm
• D. 251.2cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: The correct answer is obtained by applying the formula for the circumference of a circle, which is \(C = \pi \times d\), where \(d\) is the diameter of the circle. By substituting the given diameter of 40cm into the formula and performing the calculation, we find that the circumference of the pizza is 125.6cm.

5. How many liters are in 2,000 milliliters?

• A. 4 liters
• B. 1 liter
• C. 2 liters
• D. 4 liters

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 2 liters. There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 2,000 milliliters is equal to 2 liters. Choice A is incorrect because it incorrectly doubles the conversion. Choice B is incorrect as it represents the amount in milliliters, not liters. Choice D is a duplicate of choice A, which is incorrect.
