1. What is the area of a rectangle with a length of 5 cm and a width of 4 cm?

• A. 9 cm²
• B. 20 cm²
• C. 10 cm²
• D. 25 cm²

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply its length by its width. In this case, the length is 5 cm and the width is 4 cm. So, Area = length * width = 5 cm * 4 cm = 20 cm². Therefore, the correct answer is 20 cm². Choice A (9 cm²), Choice C (10 cm²), and Choice D (25 cm²) are incorrect as they do not result from the correct calculation of multiplying the length and width of the rectangle.

2. Sarah buys one red can of paint every month. If she continues this for four months, how many red cans did she buy?

• A. 2
• B. 3
• C. 4
• D. 5

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. Sarah buys one red can of paint every month for four months. Therefore, if she continues this pattern for four months, she would have bought a total of 4 red cans. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the total number of red cans accumulated over the specified period of four months.

3. Robert secures three new clients every eight months. After how many months has he secured 24 new clients?

• A. 64
• B. 58
• C. 52
• D. 66

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To determine the number of months it takes for Robert to secure 24 new clients, we set up a proportion: 3 clients / 8 months = 24 clients / x months. Cross multiplying gives 3x = 8 * 24. Solving for x results in x = 64 / 3 = 52. Therefore, after 52 months, Robert has secured 24 new clients. Choice A (64) is incorrect as it miscalculates the solution. Choices B (58) and D (66) are also incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate calculation based on the given information.

4. Solve for y: 2y + 5 = 25 * 10

• A. y = 25
• B. y = 100
• C. y = 150
• D. y = 200

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To solve the equation 2y + 5 = 25 * 10, start by simplifying the right side: 25 * 10 = 250. Then, subtract 5 from both sides to isolate 2y: 2y = 250 - 5 = 245. Finally, divide by 2 to find the value of y: y = 245 / 2 = 122.5. Therefore, the correct answer is y = 122.5. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not result from the correct calculation steps.

5. What is the equivalent weight in pounds for 45 kg? (1 kg = 2.2 lbs)

• A. 120 lbs
• B. 89 lbs
• C. 99 lbs
• D. 90 lbs

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert kilograms to pounds, multiply the weight in kilograms by the conversion factor 2.2 (1 kg = 2.2 lbs). Therefore, 45 kg * 2.2 lbs/kg = 99 lbs. Choice A is incorrect because it is a miscalculation. Choice B is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct conversion. Choice D is incorrect as it is also a miscalculation of the conversion.
