1. How many kilograms are in 4,000 grams?

• A. 4 kilograms
• B. 5 kilograms
• C. 1 kilogram
• D. 2 kilograms

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert grams to kilograms, divide by 1,000 because there are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 4,000 grams ÷ 1,000 = 4 kilograms. Choice A is correct as it represents the correct conversion. Choice B, 5 kilograms, is incorrect because it is not the result of dividing 4,000 grams by 1,000. Choice C, 1 kilogram, is incorrect because 4,000 grams is more than 1 kilogram. Choice D, 2 kilograms, is incorrect as it is not the correct conversion from grams to kilograms.

2. When a die is rolled, what is the probability of rolling an odd number?

• A. 16.67%
• B. 33.33%
• C. 75%
• D. 50%

Correct answer: D

Rationale: When a die is rolled, there are 3 odd numbers (1, 3, 5) out of a total of 6 possible outcomes. The probability of rolling an odd number is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes (3) by the total number of outcomes (6), resulting in a probability of 3/6 or 50%. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct probability calculation for rolling an odd number on a standard six-sided die.

3. Find x if 40:5 = 60:x.

• A. 12
• B. 7
• C. 1
• D. 8

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find x in the proportion 40:5 = 60:x, set up the equation: 40/5 = 60/x. Cross-multiply to solve for x: 40x = 60 * 5 => 40x = 300. Divide by 40 to isolate x: x = 300 / 40 = 7.5. However, x should be a whole number since it represents a quantity, so x = 7. Therefore, the correct answer is 7 (B). Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not satisfy the proportion equation.

4. Subtract 32 divided by 8\9.

• A. 36
• B. 32
• C. 40
• D. 44

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 32 ÷ (8\9) is the same as 32 × (9\8) = 36.

5. If a helicopter flies at about 80 mph, how long will it take to travel 140 miles?

• A. 1 hour 15 minutes
• B. 1 hour 20 minutes
• C. 1 hour 30 minutes
• D. 1 hour 45 minutes

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To calculate the time it takes to travel a certain distance, we can use the formula Time = Distance / Speed. In this case, the helicopter is flying at 80 mph and needs to travel 140 miles. Therefore, Time = 140 miles / 80 mph = 1.75 hours or 1 hour and 45 minutes. So, the correct answer is D. 1 hour 45 minutes. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not represent the accurate time it takes for the helicopter to cover the 140-mile distance at 80 mph.
