1. To begin making her soup, Jennifer added four containers of chicken broth with 1 liter of water into the pot. Each container of chicken broth contains 410 milliliters. How much liquid is in the pot?

• A. 1.64 liters
• B. 2.64 liters
• C. 5.44 liters
• D. 6.12 liters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Each container of chicken broth contains 410 milliliters. Jennifer added four containers, which totals 4 * 410 = 1640 milliliters of chicken broth. She then added 1 liter of water, equivalent to 1000 milliliters. Combining all the liquids, we get 1640 + 1000 = 2640 milliliters, which equals 2.64 liters. Choice A is incorrect because it miscalculates the total liquid volume. Choice C is incorrect as it greatly overestimates the liquid amount. Choice D is incorrect as it also overestimates the liquid content in the pot.

2. 3(x-2)=12. Solve the equation above for x. Which of the following is the correct answer?

• A. 6
• B. -2
• C. -4
• D. 2

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve the equation 3(x-2)=12, first distribute the 3: 3x - 6 = 12. Next, isolate x by adding 6 to both sides: 3x = 18. Finally, divide by 3 to find x: x = 6. Therefore, the correct answer is A (6). Choice B (-2) is incorrect as it does not satisfy the equation. Choice C (-4) is also incorrect as it does not satisfy the equation. Choice D (2) is incorrect as it does not satisfy the equation either.

3. If , then

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Correct answer: C

Rationale: If \(2x = 6\), then solving for \(x\), we have \(x = \frac{6}{2} = 3\). So, if \(x = 3\), then \(x+1 = 3+1 = 4\). Therefore, the value of \(x+1\) would be 4.

4. What is the value of the sum of 0.75 and 0.625?

• A. 0.875
• B. 1.375
• C. 1.625
• D. 0.125

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Adding 0.75 and 0.625 gives: 0.75+0.625=1.375.

5. How many milliliters (mL) are there in a liter?

• A. 1000 mL
• B. 100 mL
• C. 10 mL
• D. 1 mL

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 1000 mL. This is a standard conversion in the metric system where 1 liter is equivalent to 1000 milliliters. Choice B, 100 mL, is incorrect as it represents only a tenth of a liter. Choice C, 10 mL, is incorrect as it represents only a hundredth of a liter. Choice D, 1 mL, is significantly less than a liter, as it is only a thousandth of a liter.
