1. How many liters are there in 500 milliliters?

• A. 0.5 liters
• B. 5 liters
• C. 50 liters
• D. 500,000 liters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 0.5 liters. To convert milliliters to liters, you need to divide by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter. Therefore, 500 milliliters is equal to 0.5 liters. Choice B, 5 liters, is incorrect because it would be the equivalent of 5000 milliliters. Choice C, 50 liters, is incorrect as it is ten times the converted value. Choice D, 500,000 liters, is way off as it is a thousand times more than the correct conversion.

2. Solve the proportion (find the value of x): 9:14 = x:56.

• A. x = 14
• B. x = 25
• C. x = 36
• D. x = 42

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To solve the proportion 9:14 = x:56, you can cross multiply to get 9 * 56 = 14 * x. This simplifies to 504 = 14x. Dividing by 14 on both sides gives x = 36. Therefore, the value of x in the proportion is 36. Choice A, x = 14, is incorrect as it does not satisfy the proportion equation. Choice B, x = 25, is incorrect as it is not the value that makes the proportion true. Choice D, x = 42, is incorrect as it does not correctly satisfy the proportion equation.

3. How many ounces are in 1.5 quarts?

• A. 32 ounces
• B. 16 ounces
• C. 48 ounces
• D. 64 ounces

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert quarts to ounces, you multiply the number of quarts by the conversion factor of 32 (since there are 32 ounces in a quart). Therefore, 1.5 quarts is equal to 1.5 x 32 = 48 ounces. The correct answer is 48 ounces. Choice A (32 ounces) is incorrect as it represents the amount of ounces in 1 quart, not 1.5 quarts. Choice B (16 ounces) is incorrect as it is half the amount of ounces in 1 quart. Choice D (64 ounces) is incorrect as it represents the amount of ounces in 2 quarts, not 1.5 quarts.

4. What number is 80 125% of?

• A. 48
• B. 64
• C. 68
• D. 78

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the number that 80 is 125% of, we can set up the equation: x = 80 / 1.25. Solving this equation gives x = 64. Therefore, 80 is 125% of 64. Choice A (48) is incorrect because it is not the correct value that 80 is 125% of. Choice C (68) is incorrect as it is not the value that satisfies the given percentage relationship. Choice D (78) is incorrect as it does not match the calculation result.

5. 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.
