1. After putting â…“ aside for her share of rent and utilities and spending $75 on groceries, what is left from her weekly paycheck?

• A. $150
• B. $214.86
• C. $204.26
• D. $192.76

Correct answer: A

Rationale: If she puts aside 1/3 of her paycheck for rent and utilities, this means she spends 3 portions in total. So, 1 portion represents 1/3 of the paycheck. Since she spends $75 on groceries, it leaves 2 portions. The total amount of 3 portions is the paycheck. To find out one portion, divide the total paycheck by 3: Paycheck = 3 portions. $75 is one portion. Multiply the one portion by 3 to find the total paycheck: $75 * 3 = $225. Subtract the spent amount from the weekly paycheck: $225 - $75 = $150. Therefore, the amount left from her weekly paycheck is $150. The other choices are incorrect because they do not follow the correct calculation based on the given information.

2. Sergeant Kellogg had his men line up at 3:40 P.M. What would that be in military time?

• A. 340
• B. 3040
• C. 1500
• D. 1540

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In military time, the 24-hour clock is used. 3:40 P.M. in standard time would be 1540 in military time. To convert from standard time to military time, you keep the hour number the same for afternoon and evening hours but add 12 to afternoon hours. Choice A (340) is incorrect as it doesn't follow the military time format. Choice B (3040) is incorrect as military time uses a maximum of four digits. Choice C (1500) is incorrect as it represents 3:00 P.M. in military time, not 3:40 P.M.

3. A train travels at 70 mph for 6 hours. How far did it travel?

• A. 490 miles
• B. 490 miles
• C. 540 miles
• D. 420 miles

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the distance traveled, multiply the speed of 70 mph by the time of 6 hours: 70 mph × 6 hours = 420 miles. Therefore, the correct answer is 420 miles. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not result from the correct calculation.

4. In a scale drawing for a garden, 2 cm = 1 m. If the garden measures 8 cm by 10 cm in the drawing, how large will it be in reality?

• A. 2 m by 3 m
• B. 4 m by 5 m
• C. 8 m by 10 m
• D. 16 m by 20 m

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In the scale drawing, 2 cm represents 1 m. To find the actual dimensions of the garden in reality, we need to multiply the dimensions in the drawing by the scale factor. So, 8 cm x 2 = 16 cm in reality (length) and 10 cm x 2 = 20 cm in reality (width). Converting these to meters, the garden will be 16 m by 20 m. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly apply the scale factor to determine the actual dimensions of the garden.

5. How many grams are in 6 kilograms?

• A. 600 grams
• B. 6000 grams
• C. 600 grams
• D. 60,000 grams

Correct answer: B

Rationale: There are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, to convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply the number of kilograms by 1,000. In this case, 6 kilograms would be equal to 6 × 1,000 = 6,000 grams. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not apply the correct conversion factor from kilograms to grams.
