1. If a man reads 2 chapters a day and there are 6 pages per chapter in a 798-page book, how long will it take him to finish the book?

• A. 133 days
• B. 399 days
• C. 75 days
• D. 66.5 days

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the total number of chapters, divide the total number of pages by the number of pages per chapter: 798 ÷ 6 = 133 chapters. If he reads 2 chapters a day, it will take him 133 ÷ 2 = 66.5 days to finish the book. Therefore, the correct answer is 66.5 days. Choice A is incorrect because it miscalculates the number of days required. Choices B and C are incorrect as they do not consider the correct calculation based on the given information.

2. A die is rolled. What is the probability of getting a 5?

• A. 50%
• B. 20%
• C. 16.60%
• D. 83.30%

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C (16.60%). When rolling a standard 6-sided die, the probability of getting a 5 is 1/6 or approximately 16.6%. Choice A (50%) is incorrect as it represents the probability of getting a specific number on a coin flip, not a die roll. Choice B (20%) is incorrect as it does not reflect the probability of rolling a 5 on a standard die. Choice D (83.30%) is incorrect as it is the complement of the probability of rolling a 5, which is not asked in the question.

3. Solve for y if y = 3: 4y + 21/y

• A. 19
• B. 7.7
• C. 23/3
• D. 11

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve the expression 4y + 21/y when y = 3, substitute y = 3: 4 * 3 + 21 / 3 = 12 + 7 = 19. Therefore, the correct answer is 19. Choice A, '19,' is the correct result of the expression when y = 3. Choice B, '7.7,' is incorrect as the correct answer is an integer, not a decimal. Choice C, '23/3,' is incorrect as it is not the simplified integer result of the expression. Choice D, '11,' is incorrect as it does not result from the given expression when y = 3.

4. How many kilograms are in 4,000 grams?

• A. 4 kilograms
• B. 5 kilograms
• C. 1 kilogram
• D. 2 kilograms

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert grams to kilograms, divide by 1,000 because there are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 4,000 grams ÷ 1,000 = 4 kilograms. Choice A is correct as it represents the correct conversion. Choice B, 5 kilograms, is incorrect because it is not the result of dividing 4,000 grams by 1,000. Choice C, 1 kilogram, is incorrect because 4,000 grams is more than 1 kilogram. Choice D, 2 kilograms, is incorrect as it is not the correct conversion from grams to kilograms.

5. A newspaper kiosk sells 10 varieties of newspapers from around the world. The average daily sales for some of the varieties are as follows: English language newspapers sell 25 each day, French language newspapers sell 1 each day, Korean language newspapers sell 16 each day, Japanese language newspapers sell 16 each day, and Russian language newspapers sell 22 each day. How many newspapers are sold each day?

• A. 368 papers
• B. 370 papers
• C. 500 papers
• D. 400 papers

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the total number of newspapers sold each day, add the sales for each language: 25 (English) + 1 (French) + 16 (Korean) + 16 (Japanese) + 22 (Russian) = 80. Multiply this by the number of language varieties (10) to get the total number of newspapers sold: 80 x 10 = 800. Therefore, the kiosk sells 800 newspapers each day, not 368 as erroneously stated. The correct answer is 800 papers.
