1. How many kilograms are in 2000 grams?

• A. 20 kilograms
• B. 2 kilograms
• C. 5 kilograms
• D. 10 kilograms

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert grams to kilograms, you need to divide by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 2000 grams is equal to 2 kilograms (2000 grams ÷ 1000 = 2 kilograms). The correct answer is B: 2 kilograms. Choice A, 20 kilograms, is incorrect because multiplying by 10 (not dividing by 1000) would give that result. Choice C, 5 kilograms, and Choice D, 10 kilograms, are also incorrect as they do not correctly convert grams to kilograms.

2. Which of the following percentages is equal to 0.45?

• A. 4.5%
• B. 0.045%
• C. 0.45%
• D. 45%

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert 0.45 to a percentage, you multiply by 100: 0.45 × 100 = 45%. Therefore, the correct answer is D. 45%. Choice A, 4.5%, is incorrect. This percentage would be equal to 0.045, not 0.45. Choice B, 0.045%, is also incorrect. It represents 0.045, not 0.45. Choice C, 0.45%, is very close to the correct answer but actually represents 0.0045, not 0.45.

3. Joe makes $20 an hour and Tim makes $30 an hour. How many more hours than Tim must Joe work to earn the same amount that Tim makes in 4 hours?

• A. 1 hour
• B. 2 hours
• C. 3 hours
• D. 4 hours

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To earn the same amount that Tim makes in 4 hours, Tim earns $30 per hour, totaling $120 in 4 hours. Joe earns $20 per hour, so to match Tim's earnings in 4 hours, Joe must work 2 hours more than Tim. Therefore, Joe needs to work 2 hours more than Tim to earn the same amount that Tim makes in 4 hours. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the additional hours Joe needs to work compared to Tim to earn the same amount in 4 hours.

4. What is 75% of 80?

• A. 35
• B. 45
• C. 70
• D. 60

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To calculate 75% of 80, you multiply 0.75 by 80, which equals 60. Therefore, the correct answer is 60. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not represent 75% of 80. Choice A (35) is close to 50% of 80, Choice B (45) is close to 56.25% of 80, and Choice C (70) exceeds 80.

5. Ratio and proportion 1.2:x=14:42.

• A. 2
• B. 0
• C. 1
• D. 3

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Cross-multiply to solve for 𝑥 x: 1.2 × 42 = 14 𝑥 1.2×42=14x 50.4 = 14 𝑥 50.4=14x 𝑥 = 50.4 14 = 3.6 x= 14 50.4 ​ =3.6
