1. What is the area of a rectangular room with a length of 12 meters and a width of 10 meters?

• A. 120 square meters
• B. 130 square meters
• C. 140 square meters
• D. 100 square meters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 120 square meters. To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply its length by its width. In this case, the length is 12 meters and the width is 10 meters. Therefore, the area of the room is 12m * 10m = 120 square meters. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the area of the room based on its dimensions.

2. Solve for x: 2x - 7 = 9.

• A. x = 10
• B. x = 7
• C. x = 8
• D. x = 5

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To solve the equation 2x - 7 = 9, first, add 7 to both sides to isolate the variable: 2x = 16. Then, divide by 2 to solve for x: x = 8. Choice A (x = 10) is incorrect because the solution is x = 8, not 10. Choice B (x = 7) is incorrect as it does not correctly solve the equation. Choice D (x = 5) is incorrect as it does not yield the correct solution for x.

3. How many grams are in 4 kilograms?

• A. 4000 grams
• B. 3000 grams
• C. 4500 grams
• D. 3500 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 4000 grams. To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply the number of kilograms by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram. Therefore, 4 kilograms is equal to 4 x 1000 = 4000 grams. Choice B (3000 grams), C (4500 grams), and D (3500 grams) are incorrect as they do not correctly convert 4 kilograms into grams.

4. What is the value of x in the ratio and proportion 0.1:10=x:400?

• A. 5
• B. 4
• C. 50
• D. 25

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To solve the proportion 0.1:10=x:400, first, simplify the left side to 1:100. Then, set up the proportion as 1:100=x:400. Cross multiply to get x = 4. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (5) is incorrect because it does not match the calculated value of x. Choice C (50) is incorrect as it is not the result of solving the proportion provided. Choice D (25) is incorrect as it does not align with the correct calculation of x.

5. Change the following percentage to a decimal: 76.3%

• A. 0.0763
• B. 7
• C. 0.763
• D. 7.63

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert a percentage to a decimal, divide by 100. In this case, to convert 76.3% to a decimal, you move the decimal point two places to the left, resulting in 0.763. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A (0.0763) is incorrect as it represents 7.63% as a decimal. Choice B (7) and Choice D (7.63) are not correct conversions of the given percentage to a decimal.
