1. 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.

2. Multiply: 54 × 45. Express the result in decimal form.

• A. 0.0243
• B. 0.243
• C. 2.43
• D. 24.3

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To multiply 54 by 45, you should multiply the two numbers together: 54 x 45 = 2430. The decimal point is placed after counting the total decimal places in the numbers being multiplied. As there are no decimal places in the numbers 54 and 45, the result is 2430, which is correctly expressed as 24.3 when considering the decimal point placement. Choice A (0.0243) and Choice B (0.243) are incorrect as they represent fractions of 2430. Choice C (2.43) is incorrect as it incorrectly places the decimal point one place before the actual result.

3. What is the probability of rolling a 4 on a six-sided die?

• A. 1/2
• B. 1/6
• C. 1/3
• D. 1/2

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 1/6. When rolling a six-sided die, there is only one outcome that results in a '4' out of a total of six possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Therefore, the probability of rolling a 4 is 1/6. Choice A (1/2) is incorrect as it represents the probability of rolling an even number on a six-sided die, not specifically a '4.' Choice C (1/3) and Choice D (1/2) do not accurately reflect the probability of rolling a '4' on a six-sided die.

4. The recipe called for 3 1/2 pints of sour cream. How many cups of sour cream would that be equivalent to?

• A. 5 cups
• B. 7 cups
• C. 6 cups
• D. 4 cups

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert 3 1/2 pints of sour cream to cups, knowing that 1 pint equals 2 cups, we multiply 3.5 by 2, resulting in 7 cups. Therefore, the equivalent amount of sour cream in cups is 7 cups. Choice A is incorrect as it does not consider the correct conversion factor. Choice C is incorrect as it does not account for the accurate conversion from pints to cups. Choice D is incorrect as it underestimates the conversion by not multiplying the pints by the correct factor.

5. If Alice consumes twice as many calories as Claire, and Claire consumes 2,500 calories a day, how many calories does Alice consume per week?

• A. 17,500
• B. 15,000
• C. 22,500
• D. 35,000

Correct answer: D

Rationale: If Claire consumes 2,500 calories a day, Alice, consuming twice as many calories as Claire, would consume 2 * 2,500 = 5,000 calories per day. To find out how many calories Alice consumes per week, we multiply her daily consumption by 7 (days in a week): 5,000 * 7 = 35,000 calories. Therefore, Alice consumes 35,000 calories per week. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not account for Alice consuming twice as many calories as Claire.
