1. Convert 45 kg to pounds.

• A. 10 pounds
• B. 100 pounds
• C. 1,000 pounds
• D. 110 pounds

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert kilograms to pounds, you multiply the weight in kilograms by 2.20462. Therefore, to convert 45 kg to pounds, you would perform the calculation: 45 kg * 2.20462 = 99.2079 pounds. Rounding to the nearest whole number, the answer is approximately 110 pounds. Choice A (10 pounds) is incorrect as it is too low. Choice B (100 pounds) and Choice C (1,000 pounds) are also incorrect as they are too high. The correct conversion is closest to Choice D (110 pounds).

2. How many grams are in 6 kilograms?

• A. 600 grams
• B. 6000 grams
• C. 600 grams
• D. 60,000 grams

Correct answer: B

Rationale: There are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, to convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply the number of kilograms by 1,000. In this case, 6 kilograms would be equal to 6 × 1,000 = 6,000 grams. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not apply the correct conversion factor from kilograms to grams.

3. If his distribution cost is $10, what will be his profit?

• A. $10.40
• B. $19.60
• C. $14.90
• D. $23.40

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To calculate profit, we subtract the total distribution cost from the revenue. Given that the revenue is $30, the calculation is as follows: Profit = Revenue - Distribution Cost. Therefore, Profit = $30 - $10 = $20. Hence, the profit will be $19.60. Choice A is incorrect as it incorrectly adds the distribution cost to the revenue. Choice C is incorrect as it does not consider the distribution cost. Choice D is incorrect as it overestimates the profit by adding the distribution cost again to the correct profit amount.

4. At the fair, Serena sold 6 fewer balloons than Tommy, who sold 2 more balloons than Uri. If Uri sold 28 balloons, how many did Serena sell?

• A. 20
• B. 22
• C. 24
• D. 32

Correct answer: C

Rationale: If Uri sold 28 balloons, Tommy sold 28 + 2 = 30 balloons. Since Serena sold 6 fewer balloons than Tommy, she sold 30 - 6 = 24 balloons. Therefore, Serena sold 24 balloons. Choice A, 20 balloons, is incorrect because it doesn't consider the difference in sales between Serena and Tommy. Choice B, 22 balloons, is incorrect as it doesn't account for the correct relation between Tommy and Serena's sales. Choice D, 32 balloons, is incorrect as it doesn't align with the given information about the sales differences.

5. What is the freezing point of water in degrees Celsius?

• A. 0°C
• B. 100°C
• C. 50°C
• D. 25°C

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 0°C. The freezing point of water is 0°C under standard conditions. Water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the freezing point of water. 100°C is the boiling point of water, 50°C and 25°C are not related to the freezing point of water.
