1. How many kilometers is equivalent to 200 meters?

• A. 50 kilometers
• B. 20 kilometers
• C. 12 kilometers
• D. 0.2 kilometers

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert meters to kilometers, divide the number of meters by 1000, as 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters. Therefore, 200 meters is equivalent to 200 / 1000 = 0.2 kilometers. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not correctly convert meters to kilometers. A provides an answer that would be correct if converting from kilometers to meters. B and C are much larger distances than what 200 meters represent.

2. How many pounds are in 144 ounces?

• A. 12 pounds
• B. 10 pounds
• C. 8 pounds
• D. 9 pounds

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert ounces to pounds, you need to know that there are 16 ounces in a pound. Therefore, to find out how many pounds are in 144 ounces, you divide 144 by 16, which equals 9 pounds. Choice A, 12 pounds, is incorrect because it does not correctly divide the number of ounces by the conversion factor. Choices B and C, 10 pounds and 8 pounds respectively, are also incorrect as they do not utilize the correct conversion factor to calculate the number of pounds in 144 ounces.

3. If a parent changes their baby 6 times a day, how many diapers will be needed in a year?

• A. 2190 diapers
• B. 2100 diapers
• C. 2160 diapers
• D. 2140 diapers

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the number of diapers needed in a year with 6 diaper changes per day, multiply the daily diaper changes (6) by the days in a year (365): 6 x 365 = 2190 diapers required. This calculation ensures an ample supply of diapers for maintaining the infant's hygiene and comfort. The other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately account for the number of diaper changes per day multiplied by the days in a year. Choice B (2100 diapers) is too low, while choices C (2160 diapers) and D (2140 diapers) are too high based on the calculation. Understanding the frequency and quantity of diaper changes is crucial for supporting the infant's health and well-being. Therefore, the correct answer is 2190 diapers.

4. Convert the decimal to a percent: 0.64

• A. 0.64%
• B. 6.4%
• C. 64%
• D. 0.064%

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percent, you multiply by 100 or move the decimal point two places to the right. In this case, 0.64 becomes 64%. Therefore, the correct answer is 64%. Choice A, 0.64%, is incorrect because it does not convert the decimal to a percent. Choice B, 6.4%, is incorrect as it mistakenly moves the decimal point only one place. Choice D, 0.064%, is incorrect as it moves the decimal point three places instead of two.

5. Calculate: (88)(7.08) =

• A. 862.5
• B. 88.040
• C. 64.252
• D. 623.04

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the product of 88 and 7.08, simply multiply the two numbers: 88 x 7.08 = 623.04. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not result from the correct multiplication of 88 and 7.08.
