1. The value of 6 x 12 is the same as:

• A. 2 x 4 x 4 x 2
• B. 7 x 4 x 3
• C. 6 x 6 x 3
• D. 3 x 3 x 4 x 2

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the value of 6 x 12, we multiply 6 by 12, which equals 72. A: 2 x 4 x 4 x 2 = 32 B: 7 x 4 x 3 = 84 C: 6 x 6 x 3 = 108 D: 3 x 3 x 4 x 2 = 72 Therefore, the correct answer is A, as the product of 2 x 4 x 4 x 2 equals 32, which is the same as 6 x 12.

2. What is the result of dividing 8 by 4?

• A. 2
• B. 4
• C. 6
• D. 8

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the result of dividing 8 by 4, we divide 8 by 4, which equals 2. Choice B (4) is incorrect because it is the divisor, not the result of the division. Choice C (6) is incorrect as it is not the correct quotient. Choice D (8) is incorrect as it is the dividend, not the result of the division.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. A recipe calls for 0.375 cups of sugar, but you only want to make 0.625 of the recipe. How much sugar should you use?

• A. 1.125 cups
• B. 1.111 cups
• C. 0.6 cups
• D. 2.4 cups

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find out how much sugar should be used when making 0.625 of the recipe, you need to multiply 0.375 (amount required for the full recipe) by 0.625 (proportion of the recipe you want to make). 0.375 * 0.625 = 0.234375. Therefore, you should use 0.234375 cups of sugar, which is equivalent to 0.6 cups. This is the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the adjusted amount of sugar needed based on the proportion of the recipe being made.
