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. Solve for x: 4x + 2 = 18.

• A. x = 4
• B. x = 4
• C. x = 5
• D. x = 3

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To solve for x, first, subtract 2 from both sides of the equation: 4x = 16. Then, divide by 4 to isolate x: x = 4. Choice A, x = 4, is the correct answer as calculated. Choice C, x = 5, is incorrect because the correct value of x is 4, not 5. Choice D, x = 3, is incorrect as well, as the correct value of x is 4, not 3.

3. Which of these dates is represented by the Roman numeral MDXVI?

• A. 1106
• B. 1116
• C. 1506
• D. 1516

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The Roman numeral MDXVI translates to 1516 in Arabic numerals. The Roman numeral 'M' represents 1000, 'D' represents 500, 'X' represents 10, and 'VI' represents 6, which adds up to 1516. Therefore, the correct answer is 1516. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not match the Roman numeral MDXVI.

4. Add 2\3 + 1\6 + 2\5.

• A. 1 & 7\30
• B. 1 & 1\15
• C. 2\5
• D. 3\4

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add fractions, find a common denominator (30), which gives 20/30 + 5/30 + 12/30=37/30= 1 7/30

5. Convert the percentage to a decimal: 38%

• A. 3.8
• B. 0.38
• C. 0.038
• D. 38.0

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert a percentage to a decimal, you divide the percentage by 100. Therefore, 38% as a decimal is 0.38 (38 ÷ 100 = 0.38). Choice A, 3.8, is incorrect as it is equivalent to 380%. Choice C, 0.038, is incorrect as it represents 3.8%. Choice D, 38.0, is incorrect as it is still in percentage form.
