1. How many meters are in 3000 millimeters?

• A. 3 meters
• B. 30 meters
• C. 0.3 meters
• D. 300 meters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 1 meter is equal to 1000 millimeters. Therefore, to convert 3000 millimeters to meters, we divide by 1000. 3000 millimeters / 1000 = 3 meters. Choice A, '3 meters,' is the correct answer. Choice B, '30 meters,' is incorrect because it represents a miscalculation of multiplying instead of dividing. Choice C, '0.3 meters,' is incorrect as it is the result of a decimal error. Choice D, '300 meters,' is incorrect as it is a result of not converting millimeters to meters correctly.

2. 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.

3. If a person wants to plant 65,536 trees so that the number of rows equals the number of trees in each row, how many trees should they plant in each row?

• A. 1684
• B. 1268
• C. 668
• D. 256

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To plant 65,536 trees with the same number of rows and trees in each row, you need to calculate the square root of 65,536. The square root of 65,536 is 256. Therefore, planting 256 trees in each row would result in 256 rows with 256 trees in each row, totaling 65,536 trees. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not provide the correct calculation based on the requirements of the question.

4. 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.

5. The formula for calculating ideal body weight (IBW) for men is IBW (kg) = 50 + 2.3 * (height in cm - 150). If a man is 180cm tall, what is his ideal body weight?

• A. 68kg
• B. 71kg
• C. 74kg
• D. 77kg

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: 1. Substitute the given height into the formula for calculating ideal body weight (IBW) for men: IBW (kg) = 50 + 2.3 * (180 - 150) IBW (kg) = 50 + 2.3 * 30 IBW (kg) = 50 + 69 IBW (kg) = 119 2. Therefore, the ideal body weight for a man who is 180cm tall is 119kg. 3. Among the given options, the closest value to 119kg is 71kg (option B). 4. Hence, the correct answer is B) 71kg.
