1. Joe makes $20 an hour and Tim makes $30 an hour. How many more hours than Tim must Joe work to earn the same amount that Tim makes in 4 hours?
- A. 1 hour
- B. 2 hours
- C. 3 hours
- D. 4 hours
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To earn the same amount that Tim makes in 4 hours, Tim earns $30 per hour, totaling $120 in 4 hours. Joe earns $20 per hour, so to match Tim's earnings in 4 hours, Joe must work 2 hours more than Tim. Therefore, Joe needs to work 2 hours more than Tim to earn the same amount that Tim makes in 4 hours. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the additional hours Joe needs to work compared to Tim to earn the same amount in 4 hours.
2. A medication dosage is listed as 1/4 gram. What is the equivalent dosage in milligrams (1 gram = 1000 milligrams)?
- A. 125mg
- B. 250mg
- C. 375mg
- D. 500mg
Correct answer: B
Rationale: 1/4 gram is equivalent to 1/4 * 1000 milligrams (since 1 gram = 1000 milligrams). 1/4 * 1000 = 250 milligrams. Therefore, the equivalent dosage in milligrams is 250mg, which corresponds to option B. The other choices are incorrect because they do not correctly convert 1/4 gram to milligrams using the conversion factor of 1 gram = 1000 milligrams.
3. A plan for a shed is drawn on a 1:10 scale. If the roof of the real shed measures 4 feet by 5 feet, what were the measurements on the plan?
- A. 80 inches by 100 inches
- B. 40 inches by 50 inches
- C. 4.8 inches by 6 inches
- D. 4 inches by 5 inches
Correct answer: B
Rationale: When the real shed roof measures 4 feet by 5 feet, on a 1:10 scale plan, the measurements on the plan would be 1/10 of the real measurements. Therefore, the correct answer is 40 inches by 50 inches since it represents 1/10 of 4 feet by 5 feet. Choice A (80 inches by 100 inches) is incorrect because it is equivalent to the real shed measurements, not the scaled plan. Choice C (4.8 inches by 6 inches) is incorrect as it does not reflect the 1:10 scale reduction. Choice D (4 inches by 5 inches) is incorrect because it does not consider the scale factor of 1:10.
4. A kite has a top base of 20cm, a bottom base of 30cm, and two equal side lengths of 15cm. What is its perimeter?
- A. 55cm
- B. 65cm
- C. 70cm
- D. 80cm
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To find the perimeter of a kite, you need to add the lengths of all its sides. In this case, the perimeter is calculated as the sum of the top base, bottom base, and twice the side length. Therefore, perimeter = top base + bottom base + 2 * side length = 20cm + 30cm + 2 * 15cm = 70cm. Choice A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not consider all sides of the kite in the calculation.
5. Which of these dates is represented by the Roman numeral MDXVI?
- A. 1106
- B. 1116
- C. 1506
- D. 1516
Correct answer: D
Rationale: The Roman numeral MDXVI translates to 1516 in Arabic numerals. The Roman numeral 'M' represents 1000, 'D' represents 500, 'X' represents 10, and 'VI' represents 6, which adds up to 1516. Therefore, the correct answer is 1516. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not match the Roman numeral MDXVI.
