1. Stewart has 56 acres of land. He wants to divide the land into plots of 0.25 acres. How many plots of land will Stewart have after he divides the 56 acres?

• A. 224 plots
• B. 220 plots
• C. 210 plots
• D. 230 plots

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the number of plots, divide 56 acres by 0.25 acres per plot: 56 ÷ 0.25 = 224 plots. Therefore, Stewart will have 224 plots of land after dividing the 56 acres. The correct answer is A because dividing 56 acres by 0.25 acres per plot gives 224 plots, not 220, 210, or 230 plots.

2. 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.

3. What is the result of the expression 47/57 + 65/75?

• A. 1 23/35
• B. 2 1/3
• C. 1 2/3
• D. 1 5/6

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add fractions, you need a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 57 * 75 = 4275. So, (47*75 + 65*57) / 4275 = (3525 + 3705) / 4275 = 7230 / 4275. Simplifying this fraction gives 1 23/35. Choice B: 2 1/3 is incorrect as the correct result is not a mixed number. Choice C: 1 2/3 is incorrect as it does not match the simplified result of the expression. Choice D: 1 5/6 is incorrect as it is a different value from the correct result obtained by adding the fractions.

4. Ratio and proportion 1.2:x=14:42.

• A. 2
• B. 0
• C. 1
• D. 3

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Cross-multiply to solve for 𝑥 x: 1.2 × 42 = 14 𝑥 1.2×42=14x 50.4 = 14 𝑥 50.4=14x 𝑥 = 50.4 14 = 3.6 x= 14 50.4 ​ =3.6

5. A patient weighs 180 pounds. What is their weight in kilograms (1kg = 2.2lbs)?

• A. 68kg
• B. 75kg
• C. 82kg
• D. 90kg

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert pounds to kilograms, you need to divide the weight in pounds by the conversion factor of 2.2 (1kg = 2.2lbs). 180 pounds / 2.2 = 81.82 kg Rounded to the nearest whole number, the weight of 180 pounds is approximately 82kg. Therefore, the correct answer is 82kg, which is option C. Option B (75kg) is not correct as it is significantly lower than the calculated value. Options A (68kg) and D (90kg) are also incorrect as they do not match the converted weight of 180 pounds.
