1. If you have 4 kilograms, how many grams would you have?

• A. 400 grams
• B. 4000 grams
• C. 40 grams
• D. 100 grams

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the metric system, there are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram. To convert kilograms to grams, you multiply the number of kilograms by 1000. Therefore, 4 kilograms would equal 4000 grams. Choice A (400 grams) is incorrect because it is the result of multiplying by 100, not 1000. Choice C (40 grams) is incorrect as it is the result of dividing by 1000 instead of multiplying. Choice D (100 grams) is incorrect as it is a random figure and not the correct conversion from kilograms to grams.

2. How many pounds are in 80 ounces?

• A. 5 pounds
• B. 6 pounds
• C. 4 pounds
• D. 3 pounds

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert ounces to pounds, you need to know that there are 16 ounces in a pound. Therefore, to find how many pounds are in 80 ounces, you divide 80 by 16, which equals 5 pounds. Thus, the correct answer is 5 pounds. Choice B, 6 pounds, is incorrect because it doesn't accurately reflect the conversion from ounces to pounds. Choice C, 4 pounds, and Choice D, 3 pounds, are also incorrect as they do not align with the correct conversion factor of 16 ounces to 1 pound.

3. Convert 63 grams to mg.

• A. 630 mg.
• B. 63 mg.
• C. 63000 mg.
• D. 63,000 mg

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 milligrams in a gram. So, to convert 63 grams to milligrams, you would calculate 63 * 1000 = 63,000 milligrams. Therefore, the correct answer is 63,000 mg. Choice A (630 mg) is incorrect as it would be the converted value if the original amount was 0.63 grams. Choice B (63 mg) is incorrect as it is the same value as the original grams. Choice D (63,000 mg) is incorrect as it is the same as the correct answer, but with a comma which is not standard when expressing numerical values.

4. What is 25% of 400?

• A. 800
• B. 10,000
• C. 200
• D. 100

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find 25% of a number, multiply the number by 0.25 (since 25% is the same as 25/100 or 0.25). In this case, 400 x 0.25 = 100. Therefore, 25% of 400 equals 100. Choice A, 800, is incorrect because it is the result of multiplying 400 by 2, not by 0.25. Choice B, 10,000, is also incorrect as it is significantly higher than the correct answer. Choice C, 200, is incorrect as it is the result of dividing 400 by 2, not by 0.25.

5. What number is 44 equal to 25% of?

• A. 176
• B. 150
• C. 180
• D. 120

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the number, let it be x. The equation is 44 = 0.25 * x. Dividing both sides by 0.25 gives x = 44 / 0.25 = 176. Therefore, 44 is equal to 25% of 176. Choice A is correct because 176 is the number that 44 is equal to 25% of. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not satisfy the equation 44 = 0.25 * x.
