1. How many grams are in 8 kilograms?

• A. 80000 grams
• B. 800 grams
• C. 80000 grams
• D. 8000 grams

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 8 kilograms = 8 x 1,000 = 8,000 grams. The correct answer is 8,000 grams, which is option D. Choices A and C are incorrect as they incorrectly multiply by 10,000 instead of 1,000. Choice B is incorrect as it divides 8 by 10 instead of multiplying by 1,000.

2. 81:X::9:27. Find X.

• A. 3
• B. 27
• C. 21
• D. 9

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find X in the given proportion 81:X::9:27, you can set up the equation 81/X = 9/27. Cross-multiplying gives 81 * 27 = 9 * X, which simplifies to 2187 = 9X. Dividing both sides by 9 results in X = 27. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (3) is incorrect as it does not satisfy the proportion. Choice C (21) is incorrect as it is not the correct value to make the proportion valid. Choice D (9) is incorrect as it does not align with the proportion provided.

3. If the outside temperature on a sunny day is 82 degrees on the Fahrenheit scale, what is the approximate temperature on the Celsius scale?

• A. 18°C
• B. 24°C
• C. 28°C
• D. 50°C

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the formula:

4. What is the value of x in the ratio and proportion 0.1:10=x:400?

• A. 5
• B. 4
• C. 50
• D. 25

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To solve the proportion 0.1:10=x:400, first, simplify the left side to 1:100. Then, set up the proportion as 1:100=x:400. Cross multiply to get x = 4. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (5) is incorrect because it does not match the calculated value of x. Choice C (50) is incorrect as it is not the result of solving the proportion provided. Choice D (25) is incorrect as it does not align with the correct calculation of x.

5. What is 70% of 65?

• A. 40.5
• B. 45.5
• C. 50
• D. 55

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find 70% of 65, you multiply 0.7 by 65. Mathematically, 0.7 * 65 = 45.5. Therefore, the correct answer is 45.5. Choice A (40.5) is incorrect because it is not the result of multiplying 0.7 by 65. Choice C (50) is incorrect as it is higher than the correct answer. Choice D (55) is also higher than the correct result and is therefore incorrect.
