1. How many milliliters are in 1 liter?

• A. 100 mL
• B. 1,000 mL
• C. 500 mL
• D. 50 mL

Correct answer: B

Rationale: There are 1,000 milliliters in 1 liter. The prefix 'milli-' means one-thousandth, so when converting from liters to milliliters, you multiply by 1,000. Therefore, the correct answer is 1,000 mL. Choice A (100 mL) is incorrect as it represents one-tenth of the correct conversion. Choice C (500 mL) is incorrect as it is half of the correct conversion. Choice D (50 mL) is incorrect as it is one-twentieth of the correct conversion.

2. Donna has 4.2 liters of fertilizer. If each pecan tree needs 0.7 liters of fertilizer and Donna uses all the fertilizer, how many pecan trees does Donna have?

• A. 6 trees
• B. 8 trees
• C. 5 trees
• D. 4 trees

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the number of trees, divide the total amount of fertilizer (4.2 liters) by the amount needed for each tree (0.7 liters). 4.2 / 0.7 = 6 trees. Therefore, Donna has 6 pecan trees. Choice A is correct because the calculation is done accurately. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given information.

3. 81:X::9:27. Find X.

• A. 3
• B. 27
• C. 21
• D. 9

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find X in the given proportion 81:X::9:27, you can set up the equation 81/X = 9/27. Cross-multiplying gives 81 * 27 = 9 * X, which simplifies to 2187 = 9X. Dividing both sides by 9 results in X = 27. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (3) is incorrect as it does not satisfy the proportion. Choice C (21) is incorrect as it is not the correct value to make the proportion valid. Choice D (9) is incorrect as it does not align with the proportion provided.

4. 15\25 + 42\52 = ?

• A. 1 3/10
• B. 1 1/10
• C. 1\10\2024
• D. 3\10\2024

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 15\25 + 42\52 simplifies to 1 3\10.

5. What is the result of dividing 4 7/8 by 1 1/6?

• A. 4 5/28
• B. 4 7/8
• C. 5 8/14
• D. 5 3/28

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To divide mixed numbers, convert them to improper fractions and then multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor. Here, 4 7/8 = 39/8 and 1 1/6 = 7/6. Dividing 39/8 by 7/6 gives 39/8 ÷ 7/6 = 39/8 * 6/7 = 234/56 = 4 5/28. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct result of dividing 4 7/8 by 1 1/6.
