1. How many meters are in 5 kilometers?
- A. 1000
- B. 5000
- C. 10000
- D. 500
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To convert kilometers to meters, you need to multiply the number of kilometers by 1000 since there are 1000 meters in 1 kilometer. Therefore, 5 kilometers is equal to 5 × 1000 = 5000 meters. Choice A (1000) is incorrect because it represents the number of meters in 1 kilometer, not 5 kilometers. Choice C (10000) is incorrect as it is the result of multiplying 10 (not 5) by 1000. Choice D (500) is incorrect as it represents half the correct conversion value.
2. Add 7/8 + 9/10 + 6/5. Express the result as a mixed number.
- A. 3 & 39/40
- B. 3 & 22/23
- C. 22/23
- D. 2 & 39/40
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To add fractions, find a common denominator, which in this case is 40. Convert each fraction to have the common denominator: 7/8 = 35/40, 9/10 = 36/40, and 6/5 = 48/40. Add these fractions to get 119/40. Simplify this improper fraction to a mixed number, which is 3 & 39/40. Choice B and C are incorrect as they do not represent the sum of the fractions. Choice D is incorrect; the whole number part should be 3, not 2.
3. A rectangular bandage measures 5cm by 8cm. What is the area covered by the bandage?
- A. 10cm
- B. 13cm
- C. 40cm^2
- D. 64cm^2
Correct answer: D
Rationale: Rationale: To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply the length by the width. In this case, the length of the bandage is 8cm and the width is 5cm. Area = length x width Area = 8cm x 5cm Area = 40cm^2 Therefore, the area covered by the bandage is 40cm^2.
4. After taking several practice tests, Brian improved the results of his GRE test by 30%. Given that the first time he took the test Brian answered 150 questions correctly, how many questions did he answer correctly on the second test?
- A. 105
- B. 120
- C. 180
- D. 195
Correct answer: D
Rationale: If Brian answered 150 questions correctly on the first test, after improving his results by 30%, he would have answered (150 * 1.30) = 195 questions correctly on the second test. Therefore, the correct answer is 195, option D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not account for the 30% improvement in the number of questions Brian answered correctly on the second test.
5. What is the result of adding 6 3/4 + 8 1/6?
- A. 14 & 11/12
- B. 12 & 3/24
- C. 35/6
- D. 14 & 2/5
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To add mixed numbers, first convert them to improper fractions. 6 3/4 = 27/4 and 8 1/6 = 49/6. Finding a common denominator, we get 27/4 + 49/6 = 81/12 + 98/12 = 179/12 = 14 & 11/12. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B is incorrect as it does not simplify to the correct result. Choice C is in fraction form and not in mixed number form, making it incorrect. Choice D is not the correct sum of the given mixed numbers, so it is also incorrect.
