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. Add 2/3 + 4/9.

• A. 8/15
• B. 1
• C. 10/9
• D. 1/2

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To add the fractions, first find a common denominator. The least common denominator between 3 and 9 is 9. Convert 2/3 to 6/9 then add 6/9 + 4/9: = 10/9

3. What is the numerical value of the Roman numeral XVII?

• A. 22
• B. 17
• C. 48
• D. 57

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The Roman numeral XVII represents the number 17. In Roman numerals, X stands for 10 and V stands for 5. When V (5) is subtracted from X (10), it results in 5 being subtracted from 10, which equals 5. Adding this to V (5) gives the total value of XVII as 17. Choice A is incorrect because it is not the correct numerical value of XVII. Choice C and D are also incorrect as they do not correspond to the Roman numeral XVII.

4. Convert the fraction to the simplest possible ratio: 4/6

• A. 2:3
• B. 4:7
• C. 4:6
• D. 3:5

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To simplify the fraction 4/6, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2. Dividing 4 by 2 gives 2, and dividing 6 by 2 gives 3. Therefore, the simplest ratio of 4/6 is 2:3. Choice B (4:7) is incorrect because it does not result from simplifying the fraction. Choice C (4:6) is incorrect as it represents the original fraction, not the simplest form. Choice D (3:5) is incorrect as it does not match the simplified ratio of 4/6.

5. Sarah had 1 quart of milk. How many ounces of milk is that?

• A. 16 ounces
• B. 24 ounces
• C. 32 ounces
• D. 48 ounces

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 32 ounces. One quart is equivalent to 32 ounces. To convert quarts to ounces, you need to know that 1 quart equals 32 ounces. Therefore, 1 quart of milk is equal to 32 ounces. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately convert 1 quart to ounces.
