1. How many kiloliters are in 147 liters?

• A. 0.147 kiloliters
• B. 1.47 kiloliters
• C. 1,470 kiloliters
• D. 147,000 kiloliters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert liters to kiloliters, divide by 1000 since there are 1000 liters in a kiloliter. Therefore, 147 liters = 0.147 kiloliters. Choice B is incorrect as it incorrectly moves the decimal point. Choices C and D are significantly larger than the correct answer, indicating an incorrect conversion factor used.

2. Adrian measures the circumference of a circular picture frame with a radius of 3 inches. Which of the following is the best estimate for the circumference of the frame?

• A. 12 inches
• B. 16 inches
• C. 18 inches
• D. 24 inches

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To calculate the circumference of a circle, use the formula 2πr, where r is the radius. In this case, with a radius of 3 inches, the estimated circumference would be 2 x π x 3 = 6π ≈ 18.85 inches. Therefore, the best estimate for the circumference of the frame is 18 inches (Choice C). Choice A (12 inches) is too small as it corresponds to the diameter rather than the circumference. Choice B (16 inches) and Choice D (24 inches) are also incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate calculation based on the given radius.

3. In Mrs. McConnell's classroom, there are 14 students with brown eyes and 2 students with green eyes. What is the ratio of students with brown eyes to students with green eyes?

• A. 7:1
• B. 7:2
• C. 14:2
• D. 14:1

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 7:1. To find the ratio, divide the number of students with brown eyes (14) by the number of students with green eyes (2), which equals 7. Therefore, the ratio of students with brown eyes to students with green eyes is 7:1. Choice B (7:2) is incorrect as it does not accurately represent the ratio of students with brown eyes to green eyes. Choice C (14:2) is incorrect because the ratio should be simplified, and 14:2 simplifies to 7:1. Choice D (14:1) is incorrect as it does not consider the number of students with green eyes.

4. A consumer makes a $400 down payment on a television that costs $1,570. Which of the following is the number of months it will take to pay off the television with monthly payments of $100?

• A. 12
• B. 16
• C. 15
• D. 11

Correct answer: A

Rationale: After the $400 down payment, the remaining balance is $1,170. With monthly payments of $100, it will take 12 months to pay off the remaining balance. Therefore, the correct answer is 12 months. Choice B (16) is incorrect as it exceeds the required timeframe. Choice C (15) is incorrect as it is close but still one month over the correct timeframe. Choice D (11) is incorrect as it underestimates the time needed to pay off the remaining balance.

5. How will 0.80 be written as a percent?

• A. 40%
• B. 125%
• C. 90%
• D. 80%

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percent, you multiply by 100. Therefore, 0.80 * 100 = 80%. The correct answer is D. Choice A (40%) is incorrect as 0.80 is not equivalent to 40%. Choice B (125%) is incorrect as it is greater than 100%. Choice C (90%) is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct conversion of 0.80 to a percent.
