1. How many millimeters are in a meter?

• A. 100 mm
• B. 1,000 mm
• C. 10,000 mm
• D. 100,000 mm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 1,000 mm. This is because there are 1,000 millimeters in a meter. To convert from meters to millimeters, you need to multiply by 1,000. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. A meter is equivalent to 1,000 millimeters, not 100 (A), 10,000 (C), or 100,000 (D) millimeters.

2. A closet is filled with red, blue, and green shirts. If 1/4 of the shirts are green and 1/3 are red, what fraction of the shirts are blue?

• A. 1/2
• B. 1/3
• C. 5/12
• D. 1/4

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Let the total number of shirts be x. Given that 1/4 of the shirts are green and 1/3 are red, we have Green = x/4 and Red = x/3. To find the fraction of blue shirts, we subtract the fractions of green and red shirts from 1: Blue fraction = 1 - (1/4 + 1/3) = 1 - (3/12 + 4/12) = 1 - 7/12 = 5/12. Therefore, the fraction of blue shirts is 5/12. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the fraction of blue shirts given the information provided.

3. In a study on anorexia, 100 patients participated. Among them, 70% were women, and 10% of the men were overweight as children. How many male patients in the study were not overweight as children?

• A. 3
• B. 10
• C. 27
• D. 30

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Out of the 100 patients, 30% were men. Since 10% of the men were overweight as children, 90% of the male patients were not overweight. Therefore, the number of male patients not overweight as children can be calculated as 30 (total male patients) x 0.90 = 27. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the number of male patients who were not overweight as children based on the given information.

4. After a hurricane struck a Pacific island, donations began flooding into a disaster relief organization. The organization provided four options for donors. What percentage of the funds was donated to support construction costs?

• A. 49%
• B. 23%
• C. 18%
• D. 10%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B (23%). The information was obtained from the pie chart which indicated that 23% of the funds were allocated to support construction costs. Choice A (49%), Choice C (18%), and Choice D (10%) are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate percentage designated for construction costs according to the data provided.

5. What is the median of the data set below: 5, -3, 10, -2, 0?

• A. 10
• B. 0
• C. 5
• D. 2

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the median, we first need to arrange the data set in ascending order: -3, -2, 0, 5, 10. The median is the middle value in the ordered set. As there are 5 numbers, the middle value is the third number, which is 0. Therefore, the correct answer is 0. Choice A (10) and Choice D (2) are not correct because they are not the middle values once the data set is ordered. Choice C (5) is also incorrect as it is not the middle value in the ordered data set.
