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. An artist sells paintings at $5.50 each. She has 7 stands and pays $35 per stand. What is her profit if she sells an average of 11 paintings per stand?

• A. $245
• B. $178.50
• C. $175
• D. $423.50

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the profit, first determine the total revenue: 7 stands * 11 paintings per stand * $5.50 per painting = $423.50. Then, subtract the total stand expenses ($35 per stand * 7 stands = $245) from the total revenue to get the profit: $423.50 - $245 = $178.50. Therefore, the correct answer is $178.50. Option A is incorrect because it does not account for the stand expenses. Option C is incorrect as it does not consider the total revenue. Option D is incorrect as it overestimates the profit by not deducting the stand expenses.

3. What is the product of multiplying 44.44 by 55.55?

• A. 2,468.64
• B. 2,500.00
• C. 2,450.45
• D. 2,470.00

Correct answer: A

Rationale: When multiplying decimal numbers like 44.44 and 55.55, align them properly and multiply each place accurately. To find the product of 44.44 and 55.55, you get 2,468.64. Therefore, the correct answer is choice A, 2,468.64. Choice B, 2,500.00, is incorrect as it is the result of rounding up. Choice C, 2,450.45, is incorrect as it is not the result of multiplying 44.44 by 55.55. Choice D, 2,470.00, is incorrect as it is not the correct product of 44.44 and 55.55.

4. Add 2/3 + 4/9.

• A. 8/15
• B. 1
• C. 10/9
• D. 1/2

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To add the fractions, first find a common denominator. The least common denominator between 3 and 9 is 9. Convert 2/3 to 6/9 then add 6/9 + 4/9: = 10/9

5. Divide: 11 ÷ 5 =

• A. 1.424
• B. 1.622
• C. 2.2
• D. 2

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To divide 11 by 5, you need to perform the division operation. 11 divided by 5 equals 2.2. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A (1.424) and Choice B (1.622) are incorrect as they do not result from the division of 11 by 5. Choice D (2) is close but not accurate, as the exact result of 11 divided by 5 is 2.2.
