1. If Mr. Parker owns 150 shares of stock in Stark Industries and receives $180.00 per year in dividends, how much does Mr. Rogers receive for an annual dividend if he owns 400 shares?

• A. $480
• B. $500
• C. $450
• D. $72,000

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find out how much Mr. Rogers receives for an annual dividend with 400 shares, we can set up a proportion: 400 shares is to X dollars as 150 shares is to $180. This gives us 400 * $180 / 150 = $480 in annual dividends. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B, $500, is incorrect because it does not consider the proportionality of shares to dividend amount. Choice C, $450, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct calculation based on the given information. Choice D, $72,000, is significantly higher and incorrect as it does not align with the proportionality of shares and dividends.

2. Convert 63 grams to mg.

• A. 630 mg.
• B. 63 mg.
• C. 63000 mg.
• D. 63,000 mg

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 milligrams in a gram. So, to convert 63 grams to milligrams, you would calculate 63 * 1000 = 63,000 milligrams. Therefore, the correct answer is 63,000 mg. Choice A (630 mg) is incorrect as it would be the converted value if the original amount was 0.63 grams. Choice B (63 mg) is incorrect as it is the same value as the original grams. Choice D (63,000 mg) is incorrect as it is the same as the correct answer, but with a comma which is not standard when expressing numerical values.

3. A truck driver traveled 925 miles from 8 am Tuesday to 5 pm Wednesday. During that time, he stopped for 30 minutes for lunch and gas at 1 pm Tuesday. He stopped for the night at 7 pm and was back on the road at 5 am. What was his average speed?

• A. 42 mph
• B. 35 mph
• C. 30 mph
• D. 50 mph

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the average speed, divide the total distance traveled (925 miles) by the total time taken (22 hours). Subtracting the time for the lunch and gas stop (30 minutes) and overnight stop (7 pm to 5 am, 10 hours), we have a total elapsed time of 22 hours. Dividing 925 miles by 22 hours gives an average speed of approximately 42 mph. Choice B, 35 mph, is incorrect because it doesn't account for the total time spent including the stops. Choice C, 30 mph, is incorrect as it underestimates the speed. Choice D, 50 mph, is incorrect as it overestimates the speed.

4. What is the perimeter of a square with a side length of 5 meters?

• A. 15 meters
• B. 20 meters
• C. 25 meters
• D. 30 meters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The formula to calculate the perimeter of a square is P = 4s, where P is the perimeter and s is the length of a side. Given that the side length is 5 meters, the perimeter is 4 * 5 = 20 meters. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choices A (15 meters), C (25 meters), and D (30 meters) are incorrect as they do not correctly apply the formula to calculate the perimeter of a square.

5. Convert the decimal 0.98 to a percent.

• A. 98%
• B. 9%
• C. 98
• D. 99%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percent, you multiply the decimal by 100. In this case, 0.98 × 100 = 98%. Therefore, the correct answer is A, which is 98%. Choice B (9%) is incorrect as it results from an error in calculation. Choice C (98) is incorrect as it lacks the percent symbol. Choice D (99%) is incorrect as it is not the equivalent percentage of 0.98.
