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. In a class of 25 students, 44% are boys. How many boys are there?

• A. 10 boys
• B. 11 boys
• C. 9 boys
• D. 13 boys

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the number of boys in the class, calculate 44% of 25 students. 44% of 25 is calculated as follows: 0.44 x 25 = 11 boys. Therefore, there are 11 boys in the class. Choice A, 10 boys, is incorrect as it miscalculates the percentage. Choice C, 9 boys, is incorrect as it is less than 11. Choice D, 13 boys, is incorrect as it is greater than the correct calculation.

3. The individual is completing their time sheet. They worked 8 ½ hours on Monday, 8 hours on Tuesday, 6 ¾ hours on Wednesday, and 9 hours each on the last two days of the week. If their hourly pay rate is $15.65, how much would their gross pay be for that week?

• A. $645.56
• B. $600.50
• C. $700.25
• D. $650.00

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the total hours worked, add 8.5 + 8 + 6.75 + 9 + 9, which equals 41.25 hours. To determine the gross pay, multiply the total hours worked (41.25) by the hourly rate ($15.65): 41.25 * $15.65 = $645.56. This precise calculation ensures accurate compensation for the hours worked, emphasizing the importance of financial accuracy in payroll management. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not result from the accurate calculation of total hours worked multiplied by the hourly rate, providing a good illustration of the consequences of miscalculations in payroll processing.

4. A worker ships 25 boxes each day. Each box contains 3 shipping labels. The inventory has 500 shipping labels. How many days will it take to use the inventory of shipping labels? Round to the nearest whole.

• A. 7 days
• B. 8 days
• C. 20 days
• D. 6 days

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find out how many days it will take to use the 500 shipping labels, multiply the number of labels used per day (25 boxes * 3 labels/box = 75 labels) by the total number of days the inventory will last (500 labels ÷ 75 labels/day = 6.67 days). Rounded to the nearest whole number, it will take 7 days to use the inventory of shipping labels. Choice B (8 days) is incorrect because the calculation yields 6.67 days, which rounds down to 6 days, making it an incorrect answer. Choice C (20 days) and Choice D (6 days) are also incorrect as they are not the nearest whole number to the correct answer of 7 days.

5. 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.
