1. Multiply: 2 × 5 =

• A. 0.013
• B. 0.13
• C. 1.3
• D. 10

Correct answer: D

Rationale: When you multiply 2 by 5, the result is 10, not 13. Therefore, the correct answer is 10, which is option D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not represent the correct product of multiplying 2 by 5.

2. A newborn weighs 8 pounds 5 ounces. There are 453.59 grams per pound. What is the infant's weight in grams?

• A. A. 2268 grams
• B. B. 3629 grams
• C. C. 3770 grams
• D. D. 3856 grams

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert pounds and ounces to grams: 8 pounds = 8 × 453.59 = 3,628.72 grams. 5 ounces = (5 ÷ 16) × 453.59 = 141.75 grams. Total weight = 3,628.72 + 141.75 = 3,629 grams (rounded). Therefore, the infant's weight is approximately 3,629 grams. Choice A, 2268 grams, is incorrect as it does not account for the weight in ounces. Choice C, 3770 grams, is incorrect as it is not the accurate converted weight. Choice D, 3856 grams, is incorrect as it does not consider the conversion of ounces to grams.

3. A plan for a shed is drawn on a 1:10 scale. If the roof of the real shed measures 4 feet by 5 feet, what were the measurements on the plan?

• A. 80 inches by 100 inches
• B. 40 inches by 50 inches
• C. 4.8 inches by 6 inches
• D. 4 inches by 5 inches

Correct answer: B

Rationale: When the real shed roof measures 4 feet by 5 feet, on a 1:10 scale plan, the measurements on the plan would be 1/10 of the real measurements. Therefore, the correct answer is 40 inches by 50 inches since it represents 1/10 of 4 feet by 5 feet. Choice A (80 inches by 100 inches) is incorrect because it is equivalent to the real shed measurements, not the scaled plan. Choice C (4.8 inches by 6 inches) is incorrect as it does not reflect the 1:10 scale reduction. Choice D (4 inches by 5 inches) is incorrect because it does not consider the scale factor of 1:10.

4. A car travels at 60 mph for 5 hours. How far did it travel?

• A. 360 miles
• B. 240 miles
• C. 300 miles
• D. 360 miles

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the distance traveled, multiply the speed by the time: 60 mph × 5 hours = 300 miles. Choice A (360 miles) and Choice D (360 miles) are incorrect as they do not accurately calculate the distance based on the given speed and time. Choice B (240 miles) is also incorrect as it underestimates the distance traveled.

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.
