1. How many meters are in 3 kilometers?

• A. 3000 meters
• B. 2000 meters
• C. 3500 meters
• D. 2500 meters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 3000 meters. To convert kilometers to meters, you need to know that there are 1000 meters in 1 kilometer. Therefore, to find the number of meters in 3 kilometers, you multiply 3 by 1000, resulting in 3000 meters. Choice B, 2000 meters, is incorrect as it doesn't account for the correct conversion factor. Choice C, 3500 meters, and Choice D, 2500 meters, are also incorrect as they provide inaccurate conversions.

2. What is the average of the numbers 14, 73, and 7?

• A. 28.57
• B. 30.57
• C. 29.56
• D. 31.33

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. Adding 14 + 73 + 7 gives a total of 94. To find the average, we divide the sum by the number of values (3), which equals 31.33. Rounding this average to two decimal places gives us 31.33, which corresponds to option D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the average of the given numbers. Choice A is close to the sum of the numbers, not the average. Choices B and C are also not correct averages calculated from the provided numbers.

3. What is the probability of rolling an odd number on a six-sided die?

• A. 50%
• B. 66.70%
• C. 33.30%
• D. 25%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A six-sided die has three odd numbers (1, 3, 5) out of six possible outcomes. To calculate the probability, divide the number of favorable outcomes (odd numbers) by the total number of outcomes: 3/6 = 0.5 or 50%. Therefore, the probability of rolling an odd number on a six-sided die is 50%. Choice A is correct. Choice B (66.70%) is incorrect as it does not represent the correct probability of rolling an odd number on a six-sided die. Choice C (33.30%) is incorrect as it represents the probability of rolling an even number. Choice D (25%) is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct probability of rolling an odd number on a six-sided die.

4. Change the following fraction into a ratio: 19/40

• A. 19:40
• B. 40:19
• C. 19:4
• D. 40:4

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To change a fraction into a ratio, you replace the fraction bar (/) with a colon (:). Therefore, 19/40 as a ratio is written as 19:40. Choice B (40:19) is incorrect as it reverses the order of the numbers. Choice C (19:4) is incorrect as it uses the denominator as the second number, which is not the correct way to represent a ratio. Choice D (40:4) is incorrect as it does not reflect the original fraction accurately.

5. If a recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar and you want to make half of the recipe, how many cups of sugar do you need?

• A. 1 cup
• B. 1.5 cups
• C. 2 cups
• D. 0.5 cups

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To make half of the recipe that calls for 2 cups of sugar, you would need 1 cup of sugar. Choice A is correct because half of 2 cups is 1 cup. Choice B (1.5 cups) is incorrect as it is three-quarters of the original amount, not half. Choice C (2 cups) is the amount required for the full recipe, not for half. Choice D (0.5 cups) is half of 1 cup, not half of 2 cups.
