1. If a person wants to plant 65,536 trees so that the number of rows equals the number of trees in each row, how many trees should they plant in each row?

• A. 1684
• B. 1268
• C. 668
• D. 256

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To plant 65,536 trees with the same number of rows and trees in each row, you need to calculate the square root of 65,536. The square root of 65,536 is 256. Therefore, planting 256 trees in each row would result in 256 rows with 256 trees in each row, totaling 65,536 trees. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not provide the correct calculation based on the requirements of the question.

2. Is a potassium level of 4.5 millimoles per liter (mmol/L) within the normal range of 3.5 to 5.3 mmol/L?

• A. No, it is too low.
• B. Yes, it is within the normal range.
• C. No, it is too high.
• D. Cannot be determined without additional information.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The normal range for potassium levels is typically considered to be between 3.5 to 5.3 mmol/L. In this case, the potassium level of 4.5 mmol/L falls within this normal range. Therefore, the correct answer is that it is within the normal range (Choice B). Choice A is incorrect as 4.5 mmol/L is not too low. Choice C is also incorrect as 4.5 mmol/L is not too high. Choice D is incorrect as the given information is sufficient to determine that the potassium level is within the normal range.

3. After spending money on a sandwich, a drink, and a bag of chips, how much money did the man have left from his initial $10?

• A. $1.50
• B. $0.95
• C. $1.90
• D. $2.10

Correct answer: B

Rationale: After spending $6.50 on a sandwich, the man had $3.50 left. Then, after spending $1.80 on a drink, he had $1.70 left. Finally, he spent another $0.75 on a bag of chips. Subtracting $0.75 from $1.70 gives us $0.95, which is the amount of money he had left. Choice A is incorrect because it does not consider the bag of chips he bought. Choice C is incorrect as it miscalculates the remaining amount. Choice D is incorrect as it does not account for the total expenses.

4. How many millimeters are in 4 meters?

• A. 400 mm
• B. 4000 mm
• C. 40 mm
• D. 100 mm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert meters to millimeters, you need to know that there are 1000 millimeters in 1 meter. Therefore, to find out how many millimeters are in 4 meters, you multiply 4 (meters) by 1000 (millimeters per meter), which equals 4000 millimeters. Choice A, 400 mm, is incorrect because it represents 4 decimeters, not 4 meters. Choice C, 40 mm, is incorrect because it represents 4 centimeters, not 4 meters. Choice D, 100 mm, is incorrect because it represents 1 meter, not 4 meters.

5. Bai Lin estimates that of her monthly paycheck, she puts 10% in savings and spends 30% on living expenses. If she has $1,545 left after that, how much is her monthly paycheck?

• A. $2,175
• B. $2,250
• C. $2,575
• D. $2,650

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Let X be Bai Lin's monthly paycheck. From the given information, she puts 10% of X in savings and spends 30% on living expenses. This means she retains 60% (100% - 10% - 30%) of her paycheck, which equals $1,545. Therefore, 60% of X is $1,545. To find X, we divide $1,545 by 60% (or 0.60), which gives us X = $2,575. Hence, Bai Lin's monthly paycheck is $2,575. Therefore, the correct answer is $2,575. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not match the calculated monthly paycheck based on the given percentages and remaining amount.
