1. A pizza has a diameter of 40cm. What is its perimeter (circumference)?

• A. 62.8cm
• B. 125.5cm
• C. 125.6cm
• D. 251.2cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: The correct answer is obtained by applying the formula for the circumference of a circle, which is \(C = \pi \times d\), where \(d\) is the diameter of the circle. By substituting the given diameter of 40cm into the formula and performing the calculation, we find that the circumference of the pizza is 125.6cm.

2. What is the result of multiplying 10 by 5?

• A. 65
• B. 50
• C. 45
• D. 55

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. To find the result of multiplying 10 by 5, you perform the calculation: 10 × 5 = 50. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the accurate product of 10 multiplied by 5.

3. What is the result of adding 9.43 and 11.3?

• A. 20.73
• B. 21.3
• C. 22
• D. 19.5

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 20.73. To calculate the sum of 9.43 and 11.3, you simply add the two numbers together. Therefore, 9.43 + 11.3 equals 20.73. Choice B (21.3) is incorrect because it represents the sum of rounding the numbers up. Choice C (22) and choice D (19.5) are also incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the sum of the provided numbers.

4. 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.

5. How much paint do you need to paint the interior walls and floor of a rectangular swimming pool with dimensions 8m by 5m and a depth of 2m? (Assume one can of paint covers 10 sq m)

• A. 56 sq m
• B. 72 sq m
• C. 88 sq m
• D. 104 sq m

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To calculate the total area to be painted, find the area of each wall and the floor, sum them up, and subtract the area of the top surface of the pool. The area to be painted is (2*8 + 2*5 + 8*5) = 16 + 10 + 40 = 66 sq m. Since one can of paint covers 10 sq m, divide the total area (66 sq m) by the coverage area per can to determine the number of cans needed. Therefore, you need 88 sq m of paint, which is equivalent to 9 cans of paint. Choice A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct calculation of the total area to be painted.
