1. How many millimeters are in 5 meters?

• A. 5000 mm
• B. 4000 mm
• C. 5500 mm
• D. 6000 mm

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert meters to millimeters, you multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 millimeters in 1 meter. Therefore, 5 meters multiplied by 1000 equals 5000 millimeters. Choice A is correct as it represents the accurate conversion from meters to millimeters. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not provide the correct conversion factor from meters to millimeters.

2. Solve for x: 3(x - 4) = 18.

• A. x = 10
• B. x = 12
• C. x = 5
• D. x = 3

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve the equation, begin by distributing the 3 on the left side: 3x - 12 = 18. Next, add 12 to both sides to isolate x: 3x = 30. Finally, divide by 3 to determine the value of x: x = 10. Therefore, the correct answer is x = 10. Choice B, x = 12, is incorrect as the correct value of x is 10, not 12. Choice C, x = 5, is incorrect as it does not satisfy the equation after substitution. Choice D, x = 3, is incorrect as it does not fulfill the equation when substituted back.

3. In a bowling team consisting of 34 members, with 18 being male, if 4 females leave the team, what percent of the remaining members are male?

• A. 50%
• B. 60%
• C. 70%
• D. 55%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: After 4 females leave the team, there are 30 members remaining. Out of these, 18 are male. To find the percentage of male members, divide the number of male members (18) by the total number of remaining members (30) and multiply by 100. Percentage of male members = (18/30) * 100 = 60%. Therefore, 60% of the remaining members are male. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate calculation based on the information provided in the question.

4. In a survey, 120 people were asked if they could swim. If 85% said they could, how many people could swim?

• A. 100
• B. 102
• C. 110
• D. 90

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the number of people who could swim, multiply the total number surveyed by the percentage who said they could swim. In this case, 85% of 120 people is calculated as 0.85 * 120, resulting in 102 people who could swim. Choice A (100) is incorrect because this does not account for the percentage that said they could swim. Choice C (110) is incorrect as it is above the total number surveyed. Choice D (90) is incorrect as it does not consider the percentage who said they could swim.

5. Multiply: 5.04 × 2 =

• A. 1.008
• B. 10.08
• C. 10.8
• D. 18

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To multiply 5.04 by 2, you simply multiply the two numbers together: 5.04 x 2 = 10.08. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (1.008) is incorrect as it represents the result of dividing 5.04 by 5 instead of multiplying. Choice C (10.8) is incorrect as it is the result of rounding 10.08 to the nearest whole number. Choice D (18) is incorrect as it results from adding 5.04 and 2 instead of multiplying.
