1. What is the probability of getting a 1 on a six-sided die?

• A. 1/6
• B. 1/4
• C. 1/3
• D. 1/2

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The probability of getting a '1' on a six-sided die is 1 out of 6 possible outcomes, making it a 1/6 probability. Therefore, choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the correct probability of rolling a '1' on a standard six-sided die.

2. Convert 0.007 kilograms to grams.

• A. 7 grams
• B. 70 grams
• C. 0.07 grams
• D. 0.70 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 0.007 kilograms is equal to 0.007 x 1000 = 7 grams. Choice A is correct. Choice B is incorrect as it incorrectly multiplies by 10 instead of 1000. Choice C is incorrect as it incorrectly moves the decimal point one place to the right. Choice D is incorrect as it incorrectly moves the decimal point two places to the right.

3. Solve for x: 3:2 :: 24:x

• A. 16
• B. 12
• C. 2
• D. 22

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve the proportion 3:2 :: 24:x, we set up the equation 3/2 = 24/x. Cross multiply to get 3x = 48, then divide by 3 to find x = 16. Therefore, the correct answer is 16. Choice B (12) is incorrect as it does not satisfy the proportion. Choice C (2) is incorrect as it does not match the relationship between the numbers given. Choice D (22) is incorrect as it is not the solution to the proportion equation.

4. Sarah had 1 quart of milk. How many ounces of milk is that?

• A. 16 ounces
• B. 24 ounces
• C. 32 ounces
• D. 48 ounces

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 32 ounces. One quart is equivalent to 32 ounces. To convert quarts to ounces, you need to know that 1 quart equals 32 ounces. Therefore, 1 quart of milk is equal to 32 ounces. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately convert 1 quart to ounces.

5. Lulu is 5 years younger than her sister, who is 7 years older than their 15-year-old cousin. How old is Lulu?

• A. 27
• B. 22
• C. 19
• D. 17

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Let Lulu's sister's age be x. According to the given information, x = 15 (cousin's age) + 7 = 22. So, Lulu's sister is 22 years old. Since Lulu is 5 years younger than her sister, Lulu's age is 22 - 5 = 17. Therefore, Lulu is 17 years old. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correspond to the calculations based on the information provided in the question.
