1. What is the freezing point of water in degrees Celsius?

• A. 0°C
• B. 100°C
• C. 50°C
• D. 25°C

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 0°C. The freezing point of water is 0°C under standard conditions. Water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the freezing point of water. 100°C is the boiling point of water, 50°C and 25°C are not related to the freezing point of water.

2. Multiply: 2 × 5 =

• A. 0.013
• B. 0.13
• C. 1.3
• D. 10

Correct answer: D

Rationale: When you multiply 2 by 5, the result is 10, not 13. Therefore, the correct answer is 10, which is option D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not represent the correct product of multiplying 2 by 5.

3. Scientific notation is a way to represent very large or small numbers in a compact form. If a number is written as 4.82 x 10^3, what is the value of the number in standard form?

• A. 0.004 82
• B. 0.482
• C. 4820
• D. 4820000

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: When a number is written in scientific notation as \(a \times 10^n\), the value of the number in standard form is obtained by multiplying \(a\) by \(10^n\). In this case, the number is \(4.82 \times 10^3\). To convert this to standard form, we multiply 4.82 by \(10^3\), which means moving the decimal point 3 places to the right. \(4.82 \times 10^3 = 4820\) Therefore, the value of the number in standard form is 4820, which corresponds to option C.

4. If two workers can finish building a play set in 18 hours, how long will it take 4 workers to build 3 play sets?

• A. 27 hours
• B. 36 hours
• C. 24 hours
• D. 54 hours

Correct answer: A

Rationale: If 2 workers can complete building one play set in 18 hours, it means one worker would take 36 hours to complete the same task. When the number of workers is doubled to 4, the time is halved, so 4 workers would take 18 hours to build one play set. To build 3 play sets, the total time needed would be 3 times the time for one play set, which equals 54 hours. Therefore, 4 workers can build 3 play sets in 27 hours, making choice A the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not account for the correct relationship between the number of workers and the time required to complete the task.

5. Multiply: 5.04 × 2 =

• A. 1.008
• B. 10.08
• C. 10.8
• D. 18

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To multiply 5.04 by 2, you simply multiply the two numbers together: 5.04 x 2 = 10.08. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (1.008) is incorrect as it represents the result of dividing 5.04 by 5 instead of multiplying. Choice C (10.8) is incorrect as it is the result of rounding 10.08 to the nearest whole number. Choice D (18) is incorrect as it results from adding 5.04 and 2 instead of multiplying.
