1. Convert 7 grams to milligrams.

• A. 700 mg
• B. 7,000 mg
• C. 70 mg
• D. 0.007 mg

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 milligrams in a gram. Therefore, 7 grams x 1,000 = 7,000 mg. Choice A (700 mg) is incorrect as it represents 700 grams, not milligrams. Choice C (70 mg) is incorrect as it implies that 7 grams is equivalent to 70 milligrams, which is inaccurate. Choice D (0.007 mg) is also incorrect since it represents a fraction of a milligram, significantly less than the original 7 grams.

2. A vitamin's expiration date has passed. It was supposed to contain 500 mg of calcium, but it has lost 325 mg of calcium. How many mg of calcium are left?

• A. 175 mg
• B. 135 mg
• C. 185 mg
• D. 200 mg

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 175 mg. The vitamin originally contained 500 mg of calcium. After losing 325 mg, the remaining amount of calcium is calculated as 500 mg - 325 mg = 175 mg. Choice B (135 mg) is incorrect because the vitamin lost more calcium than that. Choices C (185 mg) and D (200 mg) are incorrect as they do not consider the amount of calcium lost from the original 500 mg.

3. If Gwen's favorite summer drink is 2 parts fruit juice to 3 parts seltzer and she starts with a gallon of fruit juice, how many quarts of seltzer will she need?

• A. 3 quarts
• B. 4.5 quarts
• C. 5 quarts
• D. 6 quarts

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To maintain the ratio of 2 parts fruit juice to 3 parts seltzer, for every 2 parts of fruit juice, Gwen will need 3 parts of seltzer. Since a gallon of fruit juice is equivalent to 4 quarts, she will need 3 quarts of seltzer for every 2 quarts of fruit juice. For 4 quarts of fruit juice, she will require 6 quarts of seltzer. Therefore, Gwen will need 6 quarts of seltzer to make the summer drink for her friends. Choice A (3 quarts) is incorrect because it does not account for the correct ratio. Choice B (4.5 quarts) is incorrect because it is not a whole number and does not align with the ratio provided. Choice C (5 quarts) is incorrect as it does not match the proportional ratio of fruit juice to seltzer required.

4. 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.

5. Multiply: 35 × 25 =

• A. 0.00875
• B. 0.0875
• C. 0.875
• D. 8.75

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To multiply 35 × 25, break it down into (30 + 5) × 25. Now distribute: (30 × 25) + (5 × 25) = 750 + 125 = 875. Therefore, 35 × 25 = 875. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not represent the correct result of multiplying 35 by 25. Choice A is 1000 times smaller than the correct answer, Choice B is 100 times smaller, and Choice C is 10 times smaller, making them all incorrect. The correct answer is Choice D, 8.75.
