1. How many liters are in 300 milliliters?

• A. 0.3 liters
• B. 3 liters
• C. 0.03 liters
• D. 3.3 liters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 300 milliliters is equivalent to 0.3 liters. To convert milliliters to liters, you need to move the decimal three places to the left. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (3 liters) is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 3000 milliliters. Choice C (0.03 liters) is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 30 milliliters. Choice D (3.3 liters) is also incorrect as it is not the correct conversion of 300 milliliters.

2. Farmer Juan finds that it takes 2 chickens to produce 6 eggs in 24 hours. How many chickens are needed to produce 24 eggs in 24 hours?

• A. 48
• B. 18
• C. 8
• D. 6

Correct answer: C

Rationale: If 2 chickens produce 6 eggs in 24 hours, to produce 24 eggs in the same time frame, you would need 8 chickens. Therefore, Choice C is correct. Choice A (48) is incorrect because it miscalculates the number of chickens required. Choice B (18) is incorrect as it does not consider the proportional relationship between chickens and eggs. Choice D (6) is incorrect as it doesn't account for the increased number of eggs.

3. What is 60% of 90?

• A. 54
• B. 58
• C. 60
• D. 65

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find 60% of 90, you multiply 90 by 0.60 (which is the decimal form of 60%). So, 90 * 0.60 = 54. Therefore, 60% of 90 is 54. Choice A is correct. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation for finding 60% of 90.

4. A lampshade is shaped like a frustum of a cone, with base diameters of 20cm and 10cm and a height of 15cm. What is its volume?

• A. 625 cu cm
• B. 1250 cu cm
• C. 1875 cu cm
• D. 2500 cu cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the volume of the frustum of a cone, divide it into two cones and calculate their volumes separately. The formula for the volume of a cone frustum involves the radii of both bases and the height. The volume of the frustum cone can be calculated as V = 1/3 * π * h * (R^2 + r^2 + R * r), where R is the larger radius, r is the smaller radius, and h is the height. Substituting the values, V = 1/3 * π * 15 * (10^2 + 20*10 + 20^2) = 1875 cu cm. Therefore, the correct answer is 1875 cu cm. Choice A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not correspond to the correct calculation of the frustum's volume.

5. A lab needs 200ml of a 5% salt solution. They only have a 10% solution. How much 10% solution and water should be mixed?

• A. 100ml 10% solution, 100ml water
• B. 150ml 10% solution, 50ml water
• C. 160ml 10% solution, 40ml water
• D. 200ml 10% solution, 0ml water

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: 1. Let x be the volume of the 10% solution needed and y be the volume of water needed. 2. The total volume of the final solution is 200ml, so x + y = 200. 3. The concentration of the final solution is 5%, so the amount of salt in the final solution is 0.05 * 200 = 10g. 4. The amount of salt in the 10% solution is 0.1x, and the amount of salt in the water is 0, so the total amount of salt in the final solution is 0.1x. 5. Since the total amount of salt in the final solution is 10g, we have 0.1x = 10. 6. Solving for x, we get x = 100ml. 7. Substituting x =
