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 recent census of visitors to a popular beach showed that there was a ratio of 6:16 surfers to swimmers. Which of the following is a possible actual number of surfers and swimmers at the beach?

• A. 62:45
• B. 72:210
• C. 125:00
• D. 219:20

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The ratio given is 6:16, which can be simplified to 3:8 by dividing both sides by 2. This means that for every 3 surfers, there are 8 swimmers. To find a possible number of surfers and swimmers that fit this ratio, we can multiply both parts of the ratio by a common factor. Multiplying 3 and 8 by 24 gives us 72 surfers and 210 swimmers, which makes answer choice B the correct option. Choice A, C, and D do not reflect the ratio of surfers to swimmers given in the question.

3. Olivia currently earns $51,200 in her job. If her salary increases by 4% this year, what will her new salary be?

• A. $52,348
• B. $52,736
• C. $53,040
• D. $53,248

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find Olivia's new salary after a 4% increase, we calculate 4% of $51,200, which is 0.04 x $51,200 = $2,048. Adding this increase to Olivia's current salary gives us the new salary: $51,200 + $2,048 = $53,248. Therefore, Olivia's salary after the 4% increase will be $53,248. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation for the new salary after a 4% increase.

4. A decorative globe has a diameter of 25cm. What is its total surface area?

• A. 1570 sq cm
• B. 1963 sq cm
• C. 2513 sq cm
• D. 3142 sq cm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the total surface area of a sphere, you can use the formula: 4 * π * (radius)^2, where the radius is half the diameter. Given that the diameter is 25cm, the radius is half of that, which is 12.5cm. Substitute this value into the formula: 4 * π * (12.5cm)^2 ≈ 1963 sq cm. Therefore, the total surface area of the decorative globe is approximately 1963 sq cm. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correspond to the correct calculation.

5. How many grams are in 10 kilograms?

• A. 10,000 grams
• B. 100 grams
• C. 1000 grams
• D. 100,000 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 10,000 grams. There are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, to find the number of grams in 10 kilograms, you multiply 10 (kilograms) by 1,000 (grams/kilogram) to get 10,000 grams. Choice B (100 grams) is incorrect as it represents the conversion for 1 kilogram, not 10 kilograms. Choice C (1000 grams) is incorrect as it is equal to 1 kilogram, not 10 kilograms. Choice D (100,000 grams) is incorrect as it represents the conversion for 100 kilograms, not 10 kilograms.
