1. Convert 63 grams to mg.

• A. 630 mg.
• B. 63 mg.
• C. 63000 mg.
• D. 63,000 mg

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 milligrams in a gram. So, to convert 63 grams to milligrams, you would calculate 63 * 1000 = 63,000 milligrams. Therefore, the correct answer is 63,000 mg. Choice A (630 mg) is incorrect as it would be the converted value if the original amount was 0.63 grams. Choice B (63 mg) is incorrect as it is the same value as the original grams. Choice D (63,000 mg) is incorrect as it is the same as the correct answer, but with a comma which is not standard when expressing numerical values.

2. Which of the following fractions is the largest? 3/8, 3/9, 3/6, 3/7

• A. 3/7
• B. 3/6
• C. 3/9
• D. 3/8

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To determine the largest fraction, it's helpful to convert them to decimals for easier comparison. Converting the fractions to decimals gives: 3/8 = 0.375, 3/9 = 0.333, 3/6 = 0.5, and 3/7 ≈ 0.429. Therefore, 3/7 is the largest fraction among the given options. Choice B, 3/6, is actually equivalent to 3/6 = 0.5 which is greater than 3/7. Choices C and D are smaller fractions compared to 3/7, making them incorrect.

3. Subtract 12 - 7 & 4\5.

• A. 4 & 4\5
• B. 5 & 4\5
• C. 4 & 1\5
• D. 5 & 1\5

Correct answer: C

Rationale: 12 - 7 & 4\5 equals 4 & 1\5.

4. There are 225 pieces of candy in a large jar. Ben wants to give the 25 campers in his group an equal amount of candy. How many pieces of candy will each camper receive?

• A. 9 pieces
• B. 7 pieces
• C. 8 pieces
• D. 6 pieces

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To determine how many pieces of candy each camper will receive, divide the total number of pieces of candy (225) by the number of campers (25): 225 ÷ 25 = 9 pieces per camper. Therefore, each camper will receive 9 pieces of candy to ensure they all get an equal amount. Choice B, 7 pieces, is incorrect because the total number of candy pieces divided equally among 25 campers results in 9 pieces per camper, not 7. Choice C, 8 pieces, and choice D, 6 pieces, are also incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the division of 225 pieces of candy among 25 campers.

5. How many feet are in 3 yards?

• A. 18 feet
• B. 9 feet
• C. 12 feet
• D. 27 feet

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert yards to feet, you multiply by 3, as 1 yard is equal to 3 feet. Therefore, 3 yards equals 3 x 3 = 9 feet. Choice A (18 feet) is incorrect because it multiplies by 2 instead of 3. Choice C (12 feet) is incorrect as it multiplies by 4 instead of 3. Choice D (27 feet) is incorrect as it multiplies by 9 instead of 3.
