1. How many kilometers is 4382 feet?

• A. 1.336 kilometers
• B. 14.376 kilometers
• C. 1.437 kilometers
• D. 13.336 kilometers

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert feet to kilometers, you need to divide the number of feet by 3280.84 (the number of feet in a kilometer). Therefore, 4382 feet is equal to 4382/3280.84 ≈ 1.336 kilometers. Choice B, 14.376 kilometers, is incorrect as it seems to be a miscalculation. Choice C, 1.437 kilometers, is also incorrect, as it is slightly off from the correct conversion. Choice D, 13.336 kilometers, is significantly higher than the correct answer and does not align with the conversion factor.

2. Based on the information in the table showing healthcare spending per capita in a group of African nations, which country experienced the largest increase in dollars spent per capita from 2013 to 2015?

• A. Eritrea
• B. Sudan
• C. Tanzania
• D. Kenya

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Eritrea had the largest increase in healthcare spending per capita from 2013 to 2015. By comparing the data in the table, it is evident that Eritrea had the greatest change in dollars spent per capita during the specified period. Sudan, Tanzania, and Kenya did not experience as significant an increase in healthcare spending per capita as Eritrea did, making them incorrect choices.

3. Express the solution to the following problem in decimal form:

• A. 0.042
• B. 84%
• C. 0.84
• D. 0.42

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 0.84. To convert a percentage to a decimal, you divide the percentage value by 100. In this case, 84% divided by 100 equals 0.84. Choice A, 0.042, is not the correct conversion of 84%. Choice B, 84%, is already in percentage form and needs to be converted to a decimal. Choice D, 0.42, is not the correct conversion of 84% either. Therefore, the correct decimal form of 84% is 0.84.

4. What is any number raised to the power of zero?

• A. One
• B. Itself
• C. Zero
• D. Two

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: One. Any number raised to the power of zero is always equal to 1. This is a fundamental property of exponentiation. Choice B, 'Itself,' is vague and does not specify a numerical value. Choice C, 'Zero,' is incorrect as any nonzero number raised to the power of zero is 1, not 0. Choice D, 'Two,' is incorrect as any number raised to the power of zero is 1, not 2.

5. Shawna buys 5.0 gallons of paint. If she uses 2.5 gallons of it on the first day, how much does she have left?

• A. 2.0 gallons
• B. 2.5 gallons
• C. 3.0 gallons
• D. 1.5 gallons

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the remaining paint, subtract the amount used from the total gallons bought. 5.0 - 2.5 = 2.5 gallons. Therefore, Shawna has 2.5 gallons of paint left after using 2.5 gallons on the first day. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the amount of paint left after using 2.5 gallons.
