1. If Stella's current weight is 56 kilograms, what is her approximate weight in pounds?

• A. 123 pounds
• B. 110 pounds
• C. 156 pounds
• D. 137 pounds

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert kilograms to pounds, you multiply the weight in kilograms by 2.2. So, 56 kilograms * 2.2 = 123.2 pounds, which can be approximated to 123 pounds. Therefore, Choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not match the correct conversion from kilograms to pounds for Stella's weight of 56 kilograms.

2. Which unit of measurement is larger, inches or centimeters?

• A. Inches are larger
• B. Centimeters are larger
• C. They are the same size
• D. It depends on the measurement

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Inches are larger than centimeters. This is because one inch is equivalent to 2.54 centimeters. Therefore, when comparing the two units, inches are greater in length than centimeters. Choice B is incorrect as centimeters are smaller than inches. Choice C is incorrect as inches and centimeters are not the same size. Choice D is incorrect as the relationship between inches and centimeters is fixed, with inches being larger in general.

3. Order the groups from largest to smallest, according to the number of doctors in each group.

• A. Group X, Group Y, Group Z
• B. Group Z, Group Y, Group X
• C. Group Z, Group X, Group Y
• D. Group Y, Group X, Group Z

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct order from largest to smallest number of doctors in each group is Group Z (20 doctors), Group Y (15 doctors), and Group X (10 doctors). Therefore, the correct order is Group Z, Group Y, and Group X, which matches option B. Option B is correct because it correctly reflects the descending order of the number of doctors in each group. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not follow the correct order of the number of doctors in each group.

4. When rounding 245.2678 to the nearest thousandth, which place value would be used to decide whether to round up or round down?

• A. Ten-thousandths
• B. Thousandths
• C. Hundredths
• D. Thousand

Correct answer: A

Rationale: When rounding a number to the nearest thousandth, you look at the digit in the ten-thousandths place to determine whether to round up or down the digit in the thousandths place. In this case, rounding 245.2678 to the nearest thousandth, the digit in the ten-thousandths place is 6, which is greater than or equal to 5, so you would round up the digit in the thousandths place. Therefore, the correct answer is the ten-thousandths place. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not directly influence the rounding of the thousandths place in this scenario.

5. What is the difference between two equal numbers?

• A. Negative
• B. Positive
• C. Zero
• D. Not enough information

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The difference between two numbers is found by subtracting one from the other. When two numbers are equal, subtracting them results in 0, because any number minus itself is always 0. Therefore, the difference between two equal numbers is always zero, making option C the correct answer. Option A ('Negative') and option B ('Positive') are incorrect as they do not represent the result of subtracting two equal numbers, which always yields zero. Option D ('Not enough information') is also incorrect as the difference between two equal numbers is definitively known to be zero.
