1. How many milligrams are in 3.4 grams?
- A. 340 mg
- B. 3,400 mg
- C. 34,000 mg
- D. 3400 mg
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1,000 because there are 1,000 milligrams in 1 gram. Therefore, to find out how many milligrams are in 3.4 grams, you multiply 3.4 by 1,000 which equals 3,400 mg. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert grams to milligrams.
2. Subtract 17 2\3 - 8 5\9.
- A. 8 4\9
- B. 9 1\9
- C. 8 3\9
- D. 8 4\9
Correct answer: B
Rationale: Find a common denominator to subtract: 17 2\3 - 8 5\9 = 9 1\9.
3. A man is reading a book with 798 pages. If he reads 2 chapters a day and each chapter has 6 pages, how many days will it take him to finish the book?
- A. 133 days
- B. 399 days
- C. 66.5 days
- D. 75 days
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To find the total number of chapters, divide the total number of pages by the number of pages per chapter: 798 ÷ 6 = 133 chapters. Reading 2 chapters per day means it will take 133 ÷ 2 = 66.5 days. Choice A, 133 days, is incorrect because it miscalculates the days needed to finish the book. Choice B, 399 days, is incorrect as it doesn't consider the number of chapters read per day. Choice D, 75 days, is incorrect as it doesn't account for the total number of chapters in the book.
4. A table top has dimensions of 75cm by 50cm. What is its perimeter if opposite sides are equal?
- A. 125cm
- B. 150cm
- C. 200cm
- D. 50cm
Correct answer: B
Rationale: Rationale: - Given that the table top has dimensions of 75cm by 50cm. - Since opposite sides are equal, the table top can be divided into two pairs of equal sides: 75cm and 50cm. - To find the perimeter, we add up all four sides: 75cm + 50cm + 75cm + 50cm = 250cm. - However, since opposite sides are equal, we only need to consider two sides: 75cm + 50cm = 125cm. - Therefore, the perimeter of the table top is 125cm + 125cm = 150cm. - Hence, the correct answer is B) 150cm.
5. What is the result of dividing 4 7/8 by 1 1/6?
- A. 4 5/28
- B. 4 7/8
- C. 5 8/14
- D. 5 3/28
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To divide mixed numbers, convert them to improper fractions and then multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor. Here, 4 7/8 = 39/8 and 1 1/6 = 7/6. Dividing 39/8 by 7/6 gives 39/8 ÷ 7/6 = 39/8 * 6/7 = 234/56 = 4 5/28. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct result of dividing 4 7/8 by 1 1/6.
