1. How many pounds are there in 8 kilograms?

• A. 3.6 pounds
• B. 16 pounds
• C. 16.6 pounds
• D. 17.6 pounds

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert kilograms to pounds, you multiply the number of kilograms by 2.20462. Therefore, 8 kilograms is equal to 8 x 2.20462 = 17.63696 pounds, which can be rounded to 16 pounds. Choice A is incorrect as it is not the correct conversion. Choice C is close to the correct answer but slightly higher. Choice D is incorrect as it is higher than the correct conversion.

2. If x = -2 and m = -3, evaluate: xm - 2m

• A. 12
• B. 6
• C. 8
• D. 10

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Substitute x = -2 and m = -3 into the expression: (-2) * (-3) - 2 * (-3) = 6 + 6 = 12. Therefore, the correct answer is 12. The mistake in the other choices lies in the calculation. Choice B, 6, is the result of adding the two terms instead of subtracting the second term from the first. Choice C, 8, and Choice D, 10, are also incorrect as they do not follow the correct calculation process.

3. Write the date 1776 in Roman numerals.

• A. MDCCLXXVI
• B. MDDLXXI
• C. MCCDLXVI
• D. MCMLXXVI

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In Roman numerals, 1776 is correctly written as MDCCLXXVI. Here's the breakdown: M (1000) + D (500) + CCC (300) + L (50) + XX (20) + VI (6) = 1776. Therefore, the correct Roman numeral representation of the date 1776 is MDCCLXXVI. Choice A is correct because it follows the correct Roman numeral rules for representing 1776. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not add up to 1776 according to Roman numeral conventions.

4. What is the boiling point of water in degrees Fahrenheit?

• A. 100°F
• B. 200°F
• C. 212°F
• D. 250°F

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: '212°F.' The boiling point of water at standard atmospheric pressure is 212°F. This is the temperature at which water transitions from a liquid to a gas phase, known as boiling. It is a fundamental property of water and a crucial point to remember for various applications in science and everyday life. Choice A (100°F) is the boiling point of water in degrees Celsius, not Fahrenheit. Choice B (200°F) and Choice D (250°F) are not correct boiling points for water at standard atmospheric pressure.

5. Multiply and express as a decimal: 6 × 55 =

• A. 0.0033
• B. 0.033
• C. 0.33
• D. 3.3

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the result of multiplying 6 by 55, you perform the operation 6 × 55, which equals 330. To express this product in decimal form, you place the decimal point one place from the right, resulting in 3.3. Therefore, the correct answer is D (3.3). Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not represent the correct decimal equivalent of the multiplication of 6 and 55.
