1. How many milliliters are there in 3.2 liters?

• A. 0.32
• B. 32
• C. 3200
• D. 320

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to know that 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters. Therefore, 3.2 liters is equivalent to 3.2 x 1000 = 3200 milliliters. Choice A (0.32) is incorrect as it incorrectly moves the decimal point. Choice B (32) is incorrect as it doesn't consider the conversion factor between liters and milliliters. Choice D (320) is incorrect as it is a partial conversion error, missing a zero at the end.

2. What is 15% of 200?

• A. 30
• B. 20
• C. 25
• D. 40

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find 15% of 200, you multiply 0.15 by 200, which equals 30. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (20) is incorrect because it represents 10% of 200. Choice C (25) is incorrect as it does not accurately represent 15% of 200. Choice D (40) is incorrect as it represents 20% of 200.

3. Simplify the expression 3x - 5x + 2.

• A. -2x + 2
• B. -8x
• C. 2x + 2
• D. -2x

Correct answer: D

Rationale: When simplifying the expression 3x - 5x + 2, start by combining like terms. -5x is subtracted from 3x to give -2x. Adding 2 at the end gives the simplified expression -2x. Therefore, the correct answer is -2x. Choice A, -2x + 2, incorrectly adds 2 at the end. Choice B, -8x, incorrectly combines the coefficients of x without considering the constant term. Choice C, 2x + 2, incorrectly adds the coefficients of x without simplifying.

4. Joshua is taking a test with 30 questions. To qualify for an academic scholarship, he needs to answer at least 80% of the questions correctly. What is the minimum number of questions Joshua must answer correctly to qualify for the scholarship?

• A. 23
• B. 24
• C. 26
• D. 27

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To qualify for an academic scholarship, Joshua needs to answer at least 80% of the 30 test questions correctly. 80% of 30 is 24, so Joshua must answer at least 24 questions correctly to qualify for the scholarship. Choice A (23) is incorrect as it is below the minimum required percentage. Choices C (26) and D (27) are also incorrect as they exceed the minimum number of questions Joshua needs to answer correctly for the scholarship.

5. Which of the following is the correct solution to the equation 3x + 4 = 19?

• A. x = 3
• B. x = 4
• C. x = 5
• D. x = 6

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To solve the equation 3x + 4 = 19, first, subtract 4 from both sides to isolate the term with x, which gives 3x = 15. Then, divide both sides by 3 to solve for x, resulting in x = 5. Therefore, the correct answer is x = 5. Choice A, x = 3, is incorrect as it does not satisfy the equation. Choice B, x = 4, is also incorrect as it does not make the equation true. Choice D, x = 6, is incorrect as it does not align with the correct solution obtained through the proper algebraic steps.
