1. How many liters are in 2500 milliliters?

• A. 2.5 liters
• B. 1.5 liters
• C. 3.5 liters
• D. 0.25 liters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 2.5 liters. There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. To convert 2,500 milliliters to liters, you need to divide by 1,000: 2,500 / 1,000 = 2.5 liters. Choice B (1.5 liters) is incorrect because it miscalculates the conversion. Choice C (3.5 liters) is incorrect as it overestimates the conversion. Choice D (0.25 liters) is incorrect as it underestimates the conversion. Therefore, the correct conversion is 2.5 liters.

2. What is the result of adding 4.934, 7.1, and 9.08?

• A. 21.114
• B. 21.042
• C. 20.214
• D. 59.13

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the sum of 4.934, 7.1, and 9.08, we add them together: 4.934 + 7.1 + 9.08 = 21.114. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 21.114. Choice B, 21.042, is incorrect as it does not represent the accurate sum of the numbers provided. Choice C, 20.214, is incorrect as it does not account for the correct addition of the given numbers. Choice D, 59.13, is incorrect as it is not the sum of the numbers 4.934, 7.1, and 9.08.

3. Add 7/8 + 9/10 + 6/5. Express the result as a mixed number.

• A. 3 & 39/40
• B. 3 & 22/23
• C. 22/23
• D. 2 & 39/40

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add fractions, find a common denominator, which in this case is 40. Convert each fraction to have the common denominator: 7/8 = 35/40, 9/10 = 36/40, and 6/5 = 48/40. Add these fractions to get 119/40. Simplify this improper fraction to a mixed number, which is 3 & 39/40. Choice B and C are incorrect as they do not represent the sum of the fractions. Choice D is incorrect; the whole number part should be 3, not 2.

4. The least common multiple (LCM) of two numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple of both. Which of the following represents the LCM of 14 and 21?

• A. 42
• B. 63
• C. 84
• D. 168

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: To find the least common multiple (LCM) of 14 and 21, we need to determine the smallest number that is a multiple of both 14 and 21. First, list the multiples of 14: 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84, ... Next, list the multiples of 21: 21, 42, 63, 84, ... The smallest number that appears in both lists is 42. Therefore, the LCM of 14 and 21 is 42.

5. If x = -2 and m = -3, evaluate: xm - 2m

• A. 12
• B. 6
• C. 8
• D. 10

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Substitute x = -2 and m = -3 into the expression: (-2) * (-3) - 2 * (-3) = 6 + 6 = 12. Therefore, the correct answer is 12. The mistake in the other choices lies in the calculation. Choice B, 6, is the result of adding the two terms instead of subtracting the second term from the first. Choice C, 8, and Choice D, 10, are also incorrect as they do not follow the correct calculation process.
