1. Multiply: 52 × 04 =

• A. 0.00208
• B. 0.0208
• C. 0.208
• D. 2.08

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To multiply 52 by 04, you first multiply the two numbers together: 52 x 4 = 208. Since there are two decimal places in the expression, you need to divide the result by 100, which gives you 0.0208. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (0.00208) is incorrect because it represents a much smaller value obtained by considering the decimal incorrectly. Choice C (0.208) is incorrect because it does not account for the decimal placement. Choice D (2.08) is incorrect as it does not consider the requirement to convert the result into decimal form.

2. How many kilometers is equivalent to 200 meters?

• A. 50 kilometers
• B. 20 kilometers
• C. 12 kilometers
• D. 0.2 kilometers

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert meters to kilometers, divide the number of meters by 1000, as 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters. Therefore, 200 meters is equivalent to 200 / 1000 = 0.2 kilometers. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not correctly convert meters to kilometers. A provides an answer that would be correct if converting from kilometers to meters. B and C are much larger distances than what 200 meters represent.

3. What is 20% of 2?

• A. 0.4
• B. 0.2
• C. 0.3
• D. 0.1

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find 20% of a number, you multiply the number by 0.20. In this case, 0.20 * 2 = 0.4. Therefore, 0.4 is 20% of 2. Choice A (0.4) is correct. Choice B (0.2) is incorrect because it represents 10% of 2, not 20%. Choice C (0.3) is incorrect as it is not the result of calculating 20% of 2. Choice D (0.1) is incorrect as it represents 5% of 2, not 20%.

4. How many kilograms are in 4,000 grams?

• A. 4 kilograms
• B. 5 kilograms
• C. 1 kilogram
• D. 2 kilograms

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert grams to kilograms, divide by 1,000 because there are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 4,000 grams ÷ 1,000 = 4 kilograms. Choice A is correct as it represents the correct conversion. Choice B, 5 kilograms, is incorrect because it is not the result of dividing 4,000 grams by 1,000. Choice C, 1 kilogram, is incorrect because 4,000 grams is more than 1 kilogram. Choice D, 2 kilograms, is incorrect as it is not the correct conversion from grams to kilograms.

5. An ancient Egyptian pyramid has a square base with side lengths of 20 meters and a remaining height (after erosion) of 10 meters. Its original height was 30 meters. What was the volume of the pyramid in its original state?

• A. 12000 cubic meters
• B. 6000 cubic meters
• C. 18000 cubic meters
• D. 24000 cubic meters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the volume of a pyramid, you can use the formula: Volume = (1/3) * base area * height. In this case, the base area is the square of side length 20 meters, which is 20 * 20 = 400 square meters. The original height of the pyramid is 30 meters. Therefore, the volume of the pyramid in its original state is (1/3) * 400 * 30 = 12000 cubic meters. Choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the volume using the original height and base area of the pyramid.
