1. If a runner runs 5 miles in 45 minutes, what is their average speed in miles per hour?

• A. 6.67 mph
• B. 5 mph
• C. 7 mph
• D. 10 mph

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the average speed, first, convert 45 minutes to hours (45/60 = 0.75 hours). Then, divide the distance by the time: 5 miles ÷ 0.75 hours = 6.67 mph. Choice A is correct because it accurately calculates the average speed based on the distance covered and time taken. Choice B is incorrect as it does not consider the time taken to cover the distance. Choice C is incorrect as it is higher than the calculated speed. Choice D is incorrect as it is higher and does not match the calculated average speed.

2. How many grams are in 7 kilograms?

• A. 7000 grams
• B. 70 grams
• C. 700 grams
• D. 70,000 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 7 kilograms is equal to 7 x 1,000 = 7,000 grams. The correct answer is 7000 grams. Choice B (70 grams) is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 7 kilograms to grams without considering the correct multiplier. Choice C (700 grams) is incorrect as it is a tenth of the correct conversion. Choice D (70,000 grams) is incorrect as it is ten times the correct conversion.

3. What is the probability of rolling a 2 on a six-sided die?

• A. 1/6
• B. 1/4
• C. 1/3
• D. 1/2

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 1/6. A six-sided die has one face with a '2' out of six possible outcomes (numbers 1 to 6). Therefore, the probability of rolling a 2 is 1/6. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the specific probability of rolling a 2 on a six-sided die.

4. How many pounds are in 128 ounces?

• A. 16 pounds
• B. 10 pounds
• C. 12 pounds
• D. 8 pounds

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 8 pounds. There are 16 ounces in a pound. To convert 128 ounces to pounds, you divide 128 by 16, which equals 8 pounds. Choice A, 16 pounds, is incorrect because that would be the conversion the other way around, from pounds to ounces. Choices B and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct conversion from ounces to pounds.

5. Convert the decimal to a percent: 0.000026

• A. 0.0026%
• B. 0.026%
• C. 2.6%
• D. 26%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percent, you multiply by 100. In this case, 0.000026 * 100 = 0.0026%. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 0.0026%. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they incorrectly place the decimal point, resulting in percentages that are too large.
