1. How many milligrams are in 5 grams?

• A. 0.005 mg
• B. 50 mg
• C. 500 mg
• D. 5000 mg

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1000 since 1 gram is equal to 1000 milligrams. Therefore, 5 grams is equal to 5 * 1000 = 5000 milligrams. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not correctly convert grams to milligrams. Choice A is incorrect as it represents a decrease in value instead of an increase when converting from grams to milligrams. Choice B is incorrect because it is a factor of 10 lower than the correct answer. Choice C is incorrect as it is a factor of 10 lower than the correct answer. Thus, the correct answer is D, 5000 mg.

2. In a study where 60% of respondents use smartphones to check their email, and 5,000 respondents were included, how many respondents use smartphones for email?

• A. 3,000 respondents
• B. 2,500 respondents
• C. 5,000 respondents
• D. 1,000 respondents

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In the study, 60% of 5,000 respondents using smartphones for email would equal 3,000 respondents, not the total number of respondents. Therefore, the correct answer is 3,000 respondents. Choice B, 2,500 respondents, is incorrect because it doesn't consider the percentage of smartphone users. Choice C, 5,000 respondents, is incorrect as it represents the total number of respondents, not the specific number using smartphones for email. Choice D, 1,000 respondents, is incorrect as it is not the correct calculation based on the given information.

3. Two friends get frozen yogurt. The ratio of yogurt to toppings is 4:3. If one of the friends has 4.5 oz of toppings in their bowl, what is the amount of yogurt in their dessert?

• A. 6 oz
• B. 5.5 oz
• C. 3 oz
• D. 3.5 oz

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The ratio 4:3 implies that for every 4 oz of yogurt, there are 3 oz of toppings. To find the amount of yogurt when the friend has 4.5 oz of toppings, we use the proportion: (4/3) × 4.5 = 6 oz. Therefore, the amount of yogurt in their dessert is 6 oz. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given ratio.

4. At a car dealership, employees earn a monthly base salary of $2,000 plus 3% commission on total sales. If an employee makes $5,000 in sales, what will their total monthly earnings be?

• A. $2,500
• B. $2,150
• C. $2,100
• D. $2,300

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the total monthly earnings, we first find the commission earned on $5,000 sales, which is 3% of $5,000 = $150. Adding this commission to the $2,000 base salary gives a total of $2,000 + $150 = $2,150. Therefore, the correct total monthly earnings are $2,500. Choice B ($2,150) is incorrect because it only includes the base salary and the commission but miscalculates the total. Choices C ($2,100) and D ($2,300) are also incorrect as they do not account for the correct calculation of the commission on sales.

5. If Stella's current weight is 56 kilograms, what is her approximate weight in pounds?

• A. 123 pounds
• B. 110 pounds
• C. 156 pounds
• D. 137 pounds

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert kilograms to pounds, you multiply the weight in kilograms by 2.2. So, 56 kilograms * 2.2 = 123.2 pounds, which can be approximated to 123 pounds. Therefore, Choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not match the correct conversion from kilograms to pounds for Stella's weight of 56 kilograms.
