1. Multiply: 25 × 4 = and express the result in decimal form.

• A. 0.01
• B. 0.1
• C. 1
• D. 10

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To multiply 25 by 4, you get 100. To express the result in decimal form, you divide by 100. Therefore, the result is 1. Choice A (0.01) is incorrect as it represents 1/100, not the result of 25 × 4. Choice B (0.1) is incorrect as it represents 1/10. Choice D (10) is incorrect as it is the result before converting it to decimal form.

2. What is the total volume of a children's toy consisting of a half cylinder (diameter 10cm, height 8cm) attached to a cube with side lengths of 5cm?

• A. 125 cu cm
• B. 200 cu cm
• C. 275 cu cm
• D. 350 cu cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the total volume of the toy, first calculate the volume of the half cylinder and the cube separately, then add them up. The volume of the half cylinder can be calculated using the formula V = πr^2h, where r is the radius (half of the diameter) and h is the height. Substituting the values, we get V = π(5^2)8 = 200π ≈ 628.32 cubic cm. The volume of the cube is found by V = s^3, where s is the side length. Substituting s = 5, we get V = 5^3 = 125 cubic cm. Adding the volumes of the half cylinder and the cube gives a total volume of approximately 628.32 + 125 = 753.32 cubic cm, which is closest to 275 cubic cm, making choice C the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate total volume calculation of the toy.

3. How many grams are in 8 kilograms?

• A. 80000 grams
• B. 800 grams
• C. 80000 grams
• D. 8000 grams

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 8 kilograms = 8 x 1,000 = 8,000 grams. The correct answer is 8,000 grams, which is option D. Choices A and C are incorrect as they incorrectly multiply by 10,000 instead of 1,000. Choice B is incorrect as it divides 8 by 10 instead of multiplying by 1,000.

4. Ratio and proportion 1.2:x=14:42.

• A. 2
• B. 0
• C. 1
• D. 3

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Cross-multiply to solve for 𝑥 x: 1.2 × 42 = 14 𝑥 1.2×42=14x 50.4 = 14 𝑥 50.4=14x 𝑥 = 50.4 14 = 3.6 x= 14 50.4 ​ =3.6

5. Convert 7/8 to a decimal.

• A. 0.8
• B. 0.8
• C. 0.875
• D. 0.9

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert the fraction 7/8 to a decimal, you divide the numerator (7) by the denominator (8): 7 ÷ 8 = 0.875. Therefore, the correct decimal representation of the fraction 7/8 is 0.875. Choice A and B, which are both 0.8, are incorrect as they represent 4/5 and not 7/8. Choice D, 0.9, is also incorrect as it represents 9/10 and not 7/8.
